Bejmat tiles are traditional Moroccan tiles whose history dates back centuries. They are particularly popular in Islamic architecture and are an important part of Moroccan ceramic craftsmanship. Bejmat come from the same tradition as the world-famous zellige tiles, but differ from them in shape and laying technique. Originally used in palaces, mosques and the homes of wealthy merchants, they are now widely used in modern interior design. The tiles usually come in 15x5 cm format and have a matt or slightly glossy surface. Thanks to their durability and aesthetics, they work well in a variety of spaces: kitchen, bathroom, hallway, living room. The tiles also look phenomenal in public spaces such as restaurants, hotels and boutiques.
