Ribbon (Gris Multi) Cement Tile A band of ochre gold, lined in white, sweeping corner to corner across soft grey — the geometry of a palace gate rendered flat, with small black fleurons anchoring every turn. The tile is a quarter of a larger figure, and the two layouts read entirely differently: turn the corners inward and four tiles close into an octagonal frame around a black quatrefoil; turn them outward and the bands unlink into a running ribbon lattice that carries across the whole floor. Each tile is hand-pressed from pigmented cement by artisans in Fez, following a hydraulic process that has shaped North African floors for well over a century — the pigment set not by fire, but by time and pressure. Sold by the square foot, with each 8" x 8" tile covering just under half a square foot — about two and a quarter tiles per square foot of coverage. The quantity you select at checkout is square footage, and we'll round the tile count up so your installer never comes up short. The grey ground keeps the gold from turning loud, which makes this one of the more liveable statement patterns in the line: entry floors, powder rooms, hallways, and butler's pantries that want structure rather than spectacle. Cement tile carries the fingerprints of its making — soft variation in tone and a slightly porous, hand-finished surface that no machine could replicate. We recommend sealing every tile before installation and again after grouting — a small ritual that protects the pigment for decades to come. For larger runs, order ten percent beyond your total square footage to allow for cuts and pattern matching. $15.75 per square foot. Dimensions: 8" × 8" × 0.375" SKU#: CEM019
