Brown-patterned madness by Atelier Zelij
Ateliers Zelij, established in the late 90s by Delphine Laporte and Samir Mazer, was born out of a desire to revive the traditional use of Moroccan zellige while simultaneously propelling it into the modern era through innovative approaches. Drawing from their expertise in Industrial Design, they also ventured into the exploration of other materials, such as cement tiles, and more recently, stone and terrazzo.
Ateliers Zelij holds an unyielding commitment to daring to push boundaries, shatter conventions, forge a unique aesthetic, and create an exceptional design language. As much as it is a tiles maker, Ateliers Zelij's DNA is defined by a profound comprehension of the materials they select, a visionary outlook of their usage, and a deep-rooted devotion to preserving their essence.
On the occasion of the highly anticipated Maison et Objet 2022, Goodmoods ingeniously appropriated and crafted a fresh colour scheme for the creative collection's TRC13 model. The product is readily available within 2 to 4 weeks, boasting an exclusive design by the gifted Samir Mazer for Ateliers Zelij, with no permission granted for reproduction.
With an extensive colour palette at hand, the TRC13 model can be replicated in any shade that suits your fancy, rendering it a versatile choice not just for bathrooms, but also for kitchens and outdoor spaces. It can be used for both walls and floors, amplifying its functionality.
The TRC13 model's end result is a warm, captivating design reminiscent of a luxurious Moroccan labyrinth. Its Mediterranean vibe exudes a playful and relaxed ambiance, making it a prime choice for those seeking a charming and laid-back atmosphere.
