Moroccan Zillij Floor Tile Mosaic

Torn between a tiled and carpet floor for your entrance hallway. Rugs are great but think of all the dirt that comes in from the outside. It might not be practical in terms of cleaning. Tile work great but are usually not that ornate and intricate. MEC’s marble mosaic rugs is the perfect solution for areas like that.

About the mosaic: MARRAKECH | Extracting the very essence of the Moroccan Zillij tile art, our team of artists developed this spectacular handmade marble mosaic for indoor and outdoor high foot traffic areas. | Marrakech handcrafted mosaic rug is available in polished, tumbled and honed finishes.

Deeply rooted in Moroccan and Andalusian artistry, this mosaic is a symphony of symmetry, color balance, and spiritual beauty, ideal for palatial interiors, luxury hotels, cultural centers, and grand entryways seeking a statement of heritage and opulence.

• Geometric Core Structure:

  • The mosaic’s central element is a majestic eight-pointed star rosette, flanked by radiating floral mandalas and extending arms, forming a symmetrical cross-shaped medallion.

  • Smaller circular medallions are positioned at the intersections and corners, connecting the main motif in a harmonious layout.

• Background and Framing:

  • The surrounding field is filled with repeating triangle patterns—a nod to the traditional “girih” or tessellation technique—adding complexity and visual texture.

  • A golden-brown border with repetitive floral detailing frames the entire layout, unifying the composition and providing an ornamental closure.

• Symmetry and Balance:

  • Every element of the design mirrors the other, adhering to the principles of Islamic art’s aniconic and mathematical perfection.

  • The shape of the overall floor mosaic is rectangular, making it ideal for grand halls, formal lounges, or ceremonial corridors.

• Authentic Moroccan Tones:

  • Dominated by a combination of rich cobalt blue, creamy ivory, ochre gold, charcoal black, and soft white, the color scheme evokes a regal yet serene aesthetic.

  • The subtle contrast between the darker triangles and the brighter medallions creates a visual rhythm across the floor.

• Premium Marble Craftsmanship:

  • Hand-cut marble tesserae are used to achieve sharp geometric precision, clean lines, and smooth transitions between complex patterns.

  • The polished finish gives the floor a reflective quality, enhancing natural and ambient light.
