Tamegroute Tiled Tray with a Geometric Pattern and Walnut Frame

Tamegroute tray in a three-dimensional geometric pattern framed in walnut.

Tamegroute, a town in southern Morocco, is known for its distinctive glazed ceramics in shades of yellow, green, turquoise and brown. The interplay of glaze and firing produces variations in colour from tile to tile. Arranged in a star pattern, these tones create a striking three-dimensional effect.

Handcrafted in Morocco, the tray pairs Tamegroute colours with the warm tones of a walnut frame, blending traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design.

We designed the tray in collaboration with master zellige artisan—or Maalem—Hamid and his team. A centuries-old Moroccan craft, zellige involves hand-cutting clay tiles and carefully assembling them into mosaics. It’s a complex craft that takes years to master. Woodworker Jamal created the walnut frame that completes the tray.

Ideal for serving breakfast, the tray is also an elegant way to display favourite objects on a coffee table, ottoman or dressing table. This design works well in both modern and rustic interiors.

Each Piece Is Unique

Small variations in the colour, shape, size and pattern of the handmade tiles give each tray its own character. The natural grain and tones of the walnut frame vary too, making every finished tray unique.
