Moroccan Zellige Nahla Long Hex

Nahla Long Hexagon Zellige Collection

The Nahla collection reimagines the ancient, soulful art of Moroccan Zellige through an elegant, elongated hexagonal profile. Measuring 165x65mm, this bespoke format introduces a sophisticated, tessellating rhythm to the architectural plane. It breaks away from traditional orthogonal grids, offering a dynamic, interlocking geometry that can be oriented vertically to draw the eye upward or horizontally to visually expand a space.

Deeply rooted in the artisanal heritage of Fez, each Nahla tile is a testament to the human hand. Crafted from raw, regional clay, they are individually kneaded, shaped, and chiseled before being fired in traditional olive-pit kilns. This elemental process guarantees the material's signature "perfect imperfections." The face of every tile is uniquely undulating, the edges are authentically irregular, and the glaze pools with varying depths across the surface.

When applied en masse and graced by natural light, these subtle irregularities transform a static vertical plane into a highly tactile, luminous feature. Due to the traditional nature of the soft glaze and the raw clay body, the Nahla collection is exclusively specified for vertical applications. It is the definitive material for crafting immersive bathroom envelopes, tactile kitchen splashbacks, or profound architectural feature walls that demand both geometric discipline and organic warmth.

The collection is presented in a highly curated palette of 4 distinct tones, each highlighting the nuanced beauty of the firing process:

• Casa: A sophisticated, warm greige with subtle earthen undertones, offering a quiet, anchoring neutral that shifts beautifully in the light.

• Lily: A soft, pearlescent off-white where the pooling glaze creates a luminous, tranquil, and highly textured surface.

• Raw Cotto: Celebrating the unadorned beauty of baked earth, this unglazed variant presents a raw, highly tactile spectrum of warm sand, peach, and terracotta.

• Sage: A muted, restorative grey-green that introduces a calm, biophilic elegance and historical depth to the interior.
