Follow on Google News | Zillij mosaics: Moroccan tile, Elegance and timeless beautyZillij (tile) is an important element of decoration. The word tile is derived from the French word tuile, which is, in turn, derived from the Latin word tegula, meaning a roof tile composed of baked clay.
Zillij usually covers the walls, floors and columns of many spaces such as kitchens, bathrooms, living and dining rooms and many other spaces. These spaces do not only include residences, but also restaurants, hotels, theatres, and so on. Zillij takes different motifs (geometric, floral and chiseled) and colors. Each motif and color remains a symbol and has a special significance in the iconography of the Islamic/Moorish art. However, we understand that our clients’ needs and tastes vary, and so are our motifs and colors. Apart from the floors and walls, zillij can be used to produce beautiful tables and fountains with a wide variety of motifs and colors. The fountains can either be central or part of a wall. It is usually placed on the wall opposite the main entrance, immediately facing the visitor, as the focus of the zillij decoration. The fountain is a very important element of the Moorish house because water is an epitome of life in Islam. In the hot Islamic climate, the water from courtyard pools and fountains cools as decorates. Water does not only reflect architecture and multiply decorative themes, but it can also serve as a means of emphasizing the visual axes.
