Our story
Why Tissire exists
I grew up in Morocco surrounded by things made by hand: small pieces of zellige everywhere in the city, rugs from the mountain cooperatives, glass blown in the medina. None of it felt remarkable at the time. It was simply the world I lived in.
Moving to Brussels changed that. The things I had barely noticed suddenly felt irreplaceable, because of what was behind them: a person, a process, time. Then, on a walk back home, I saw how beautiful zellige could be in our homes. I could not leave without bringing two or three pieces back to Brussels and finding each of them a spot.
We work with one workshop in Salé. Every tile is cut by hand, every top is made to order in your size, and we send you a real photo of your piece before it leaves. Everything else in the shop is chosen in person, from people I know. I only carry what I would keep myself.
A Tissire piece is truly handmade, and almost never comes out exactly the same twice. It becomes a memory: it takes you back to a trip, or brings out the charming details of your home. Either way, its presence is hard to ignore.
Tissire is a Moroccan word that carries luck, prosperity and goodwill. It also quietly echoes the French tisser, to weave.
