Inspired by Moroccan zelligs, Granada Tile’s handmade cement Minis Collection packs an aesthetic punch in a small tile package. Too stunning to call cute, the 2 1/4 inch tiles can be used in a single shade to create an undulating wave of color. If you’d rather, the small tiles can be mixed and matched to form an intricate pattern suggesting the elaborate tile designs found on surfaces around Morocco. These rough-hewn gems are the perfect choice for bathroom floors and walls, on kitchen backsplashes, and on fireplace surrounds. The colors are subtle and deep, with a range of hues to appeal to every taste.

Unlike their traditional Moroccan counterparts, the Minis tiles have a clear edge: They are stronger and less likely to chip because of their concrete composition. And, since they’re air-cured and not kiln-fired, the environmental impact is less (even now the kilns of Fez billow black smoke, as shown below).
