traditional moroccan zallije in square meters "m2"

A white traditional Moroccan zellige features all the hallmark elements of zellige craftsmanship but with a clean, minimalist twist due to its pure white hue. Here's a detailed description:

Material and Craftsmanship:

• Like all zellige, the white version is made from natural terracotta clay, typically sourced from Fez. After being hand-cut into small, uniform pieces by skilled artisans, the tiles are glazed with a translucent white finish.
• The process of glazing and firing gives each tile a slight variation in color tone and surface texture, which adds depth and character to the white finish, keeping it from appearing flat or sterile.

Shape and Design:

• Geometric Patterns: The white zellige tiles are often arranged in traditional geometric patterns, such as stars, hexagons, squares, or interlocking shapes, which are inspired by Islamic art. The white color emphasizes the simplicity of these patterns while maintaining their complexity and precision.

• Mosaic Style: The small, irregular tiles are meticulously fitted together to create larger, seamless mosaics, often forming intricate designs that cover large surfaces.
