TIERRA

Two new designs joined the stocked range of Tiles of Ezra X Tile Depot tiles in mid 2022.

Authentic TIERRA tiles are 100% handcrafted in Vietnam using centuries old techniques. They are characterised by a bespeckled surface that draws upon the tones and textures of earth and soil.

Available in two colours, Tierra Smoke and Tierra Nieve Punto, they add a beautiful natural charm to any interior wall.

Stocked Size:50x150mm

BEJMAT

Bejmat are a particular style of rectangular glazed zellige tiles. A versatile format, they can be laid stacked, bricked herringbone or basketweave pattern. You can even get really creative and mix and match the colours.

As with all the Tiles of Ezra zellige tiles, they are all cut and shaped by hand using the purest, filtered clay. Once formed, the glaze is hand-applied to ensure a high quality, durable finish. Each tile has a rustic irregular finish that adds a unique character to any interior design. They are of variable thickness, being approximately 10mm thick.

Bejmat tiles are an stylish choice for kitchen, bathroom and laundry walls. We recommend only the unglazed clay for floors.

Stocked Size: 50x150mm

ZELLIGE

Tiles of Ezra work directly with skilled artisans in Morocco to create their Zellige and Bejmat tiles. Perfectly imperfect, every single part of the creation of these tiles is manufactured by hand, using traditional ancient techniques passed down through the generations. From moulding the clays of Morocco into tiles, to the glazing and even the packaging - it’s all done by hand. As such, they have a beauty that just can’t be recreated with factory produced “handmade effect” zellige.

They will have variations in thickness and size, chips and dimples in the glazing and colour variance. All expected and part of the charm of these very special tiles. A home tiled with these, exudes an atmosphere and charm that is incredibly welcoming and restful.

Stocked Size: 100x100mm

CUSTOM MOSAICS

For those very special projects with plenty of forward planning, The Tile Depot X Tiles of Ezra can offer custom made zellige mosaics. Customers choose the design and the colours and the artisans in Morocco create the mosaic by hand. The entire process takes around 5-6 months.

There are 30 patterns and 34 colours to choose from so there is immense opportunity to create something truly bespoke... designed by you.

Sizes vary. Made to Order. None held in stock. Contact info@tiledepot.co.nz to learn more.

Hand painted and handmade in Morocco, the Tile of Ezra tiles are authentic artisan tiles that use traditional and ancient methods. These tiles are cut, glazed and packaged entirely by hand.

They are created by genuine artisans who are incredibly passionate and proud of their craft, using methods and materials that are sustainable and have very little environmental impact. Tiles of Ezra are confident their artisans produce the best zellige tiles in Morocco & Vietnam.

Do not underestimate the rawness of this material. Rough hand cut edges, size and thickness variations with chips and impurities in the glaze is all part of the charm. The imperfection is the perfection. If its nice tidy symmetrical tiles with perfect grout lines you are after, look elsewhere!
