Imagine walking through the grand halls of a centuries-old Moroccan palace — sunlight dances across walls clad in luminous, hand-cut tiles, each shimmering with a life of its own. The air is warm, carrying whispers of artisans who, generation after generation, passed down their secret techniques, shaping clay into works of timeless beauty.
This is the spirit of Zellige.
And it is this tradition we honor with the Zellige Handcrafted Collection at Arda Ogan.
A Heritage Rooted in Artistry
Originating over a thousand years ago in the city of Fez, Morocco, Zellige tiles have always been more than just building materials — they are expressions of craftsmanship, patience, and soul. Every tile is handmade, every imperfection is cherished, and every shimmering surface tells a story.
Our collection celebrates this ancient art form, preserving its handcrafted authenticity while making it accessible to modern design lovers around the world.
What Makes Our Zellige Tiles Special?
At Arda Ogan, we’ve partnered with master artisans who continue to create Zellige tiles using traditional methods:
- Locally sourced Moroccan clay shaped entirely by hand
- Sun-dried and kiln-fired tiles, with each batch subtly unique
- Hand-applied glazes that create depth, texture, and variation
From the soft crackles in the glaze to the uneven edges that catch the light differently with every step you take, these nuances are not flaws — they are what make Zellige truly magical.
A Palette Inspired by Nature
Our Zellige Handcrafted Collection offers a curated selection of colors designed to evoke natural beauty and timeless sophistication:
- Gentle ivories and off-whites for airy, luminous spaces
- Blues that echo Moroccan skies and oceans
- Earthy terracottas that feel rooted and grounded
- Muted greens, sands, and rose tones that bring softness and warmth
Tip: To achieve the most organic look, we recommend mixing tiles from different boxes during installation to embrace the natural variation that defines real Zellige.

The beauty of Zellige is its versatility. It can be the showstopper of a room or a subtle, soulful backdrop. Our clients have used our Zellige Handcrafted Collection for:
