Checkered (Blanca + Evergreen) 2x2 Zellige Mosaic Tile A classic two-tone checkerboard, alternating Blanca's soft white against Evergreen's deep forest green — a graphic, high-contrast pattern that reads as confidently traditional as it does modern. We've been sourcing zellige from the same ateliers in Fez for twenty-seven years, and checkered compositions like this one are some of the most enduring in the zellige tradition, predating almost every more elaborate star-and-cross pattern in our range. Because each tile is hand-cut and hand-glazed individually, no two squares in the same color are ever perfectly uniform — small, natural variation within each color is what keeps a full checkerboard from reading flat or printed. Mounted on mesh sheets for a straightforward, clean installation, this pattern is well suited to kitchen floors, entryways, powder room walls, and fireplace surrounds — anywhere a bold, graphic moment is the goal. It pairs beautifully with unlacquered brass, black steel, and honed limestone. Each sheet covers one square foot. As with all handmade zellige, expect natural variation in tone and texture from tile to tile — this is characteristic of the craft, not a flaw. We recommend ordering ten percent beyond your total square footage to allow for cuts and pattern matching, and sealing prior to grouting for wet installations. Sold by the square foot. $28.50 per square foot. Dimensions: 12″ × 12″ × 0.375″ per tile SKU#: ZEL081
