The Story Behind the Tile
The Maarkab tile represents the essence of Moroccan zellij — a pure square form shaped by hand, fired in traditional kilns, and left unglazed to highlight the raw beauty of clay. Its name, which means “vessel” or “structure” in Arabic, reflects its fundamental role in Moroccan architecture for centuries.
Each Maarkab tile is handmade using locally sourced terracotta. The absence of glaze allows the natural color and texture of the earth to take center stage, revealing small marks, tonal shifts, and irregularities that give the tile its soulful character.
Whether used for traditional floor layouts, minimal wall designs, or harmoniously paired with decorative zellij pieces, Maarkab adds warmth, authenticity, and a tactile quality that feels rooted in history.
Ideal for Mediterranean, rustic, wabi-sabi, and organic modern interiors — indoors or out.
