Materials

Made by hand. Meant to vary.

Authentic Moroccan zellige carries the marks of its making—subtle shifts in tone, texture, surface, edge, and dimension that give an installation depth and movement.

Origin & craft

A material shaped by place and process.

Zelligio’s current launch material is handmade Moroccan zellige. Made in Morocco, each piece carries individual character rather than machine-made uniformity.

The making is visible in subtle differences across tone, glaze, surface, edge, and dimension. Those differences build depth when the material is considered as a range.

This page offers general guidance, not a substitute for project-specific review with the qualified installer and project team.

Handmade character

Variation is the material.

Natural variation is an expected characteristic of authentic handmade zellige, not a defect. Review a representative range rather than judging one tile in isolation.

Tonal variation

Color shifts naturally from piece to piece. Review a representative range rather than judging one tile in isolation.

Surface and glaze

Glaze depth, sheen, texture, and small surface irregularities create movement across an installation.

Hand-cut edges

Edges may show the evidence of hand cutting, producing joints and lines with individual character.

Dimensional variation

Small differences in dimension and plane are part of the handmade material and influence the finished surface.

These unchanged catalog crops support the discussion of variation. They are not a substitute for physical samples or a guarantee of screen color.

Future platform direction

The platform data model is designed to support mosaics, terracotta, limestone, and other tile and natural-stone categories later. These categories are not presented as currently available Zelligio products.

Before installation

Plan with the real material.

Handmade zellige asks for sample-led selection, sufficient planning, and project-specific decisions made with qualified professionals.

Approve color in person

Physical samples are required for final color approval; screens and photography cannot guarantee exact color.

Plan the project allowance

Order enough material for the planned installation and an appropriate project allowance, determined with the installer and project team.

Blend the range

Blend material from multiple boxes during layout to distribute the natural variation across the installation.

Specify for the site

A qualified installer must select the final substrate, setting materials, grout, sealing approach, and installation method for the specific site and application.

Installation, sealing & care

Handled with informed care.

Installation, sealing, and ongoing care depend on the intended application, finish, site conditions, and project requirements. The qualified project team should make the final selections.

Detailed guidance will be provided through approved resources rather than condensed into universal technical instructions here.

More access. More informed choices.

Expand access to handmade and natural materials—and support more material-conscious design.

That starts with longevity of design thinking: selecting from physical samples, understanding natural variation, and choosing the right material for the application.

Clear sourcing paths and informed project decisions help showroom partners consider material character alongside practical project needs without reducing the choice to a screen image alone.

Samples and showroom partner support

Start with the material in hand.

Samples and quotes are available to approved tile and kitchen-and-bath showroom partners only. Explore the Showroom Partner Program for project support.
