Filigree (Noir + Blanca) Cement Tile A star burst drawn in the thinnest black line, radiating diagonally across a chalk-white ground — Najma's quieter cousin, closer to engraved metalwork than painted geometry. Where our bolder star patterns fill their shapes solid, this one is all outline, and the effect is lace rather than statement: laid together, the fine lines knit into a dense, continuous lattice that rewards a closer look. 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 delicacy suits rooms that want geometry without weight: powder rooms, bathroom floors, closets, and any space where a bold black-and-white pattern would otherwise feel like too much. 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#: CEM026
