History

Moroccan Zellige: Where Artistic Lines Meet Heartfelt Ones

In the heart of old Fez, where time seems to stand still and history unfolds before the visitor, my first encounter with Sabrine took place. We stood before a Zellige workshop, that magical space where art is born beneath the craftsman's hands.

I watched, captivated, as pieces of clay transformed into stunning mosaics, when I caught Sabrine's deep, passionate gaze. There was a special enchantment in the air – the allure of Zellige and the charm of a newfound connection.

As the colors and shapes intertwined to form intricate patterns, our conversations intertwined, revealing our stories to one another. Between each tile and design, we found intersections of our feelings and dreams.

With time, Zellige came to hold a deeper meaning in our hearts. It wasn’t just a traditional art form anymore; it became a symbol of the love that blossomed through the alleyways of Fez. Every time we look at the walls of our home, adorned with Zellige, we are reminded of those moments that marked the beginning of an unforgettable love story.
