Sala is the Arabic name for Salé, the city where these tables are made. This design belongs to the artisan. No pattern is given to him, no template to follow. He chooses every piece, every colour, every placement. His eye, his hands, his composition. Each Sala table is entirely his own. The shapes and arrangement will never be repeated. This is his signature piece. Made in Salé.

One price, everything included
Choose your diameter and height above. The price shown is always the complete total for your selection: the diameter price covers the full Zellij tabletop, and picking a leg height updates it to tabletop and iron base together. Want the top alone, without the iron base? Simply select Tabletop only.
Every diameter is composed on its own
Nothing here is scaled down from a master pattern, because there is no master pattern. The artisan composes each Sala to the diameter in front of him, so a 20 cm top is not a cropped 60 cm top. It is its own composition, with fewer fragments and its own balance. Larger tops give him more room to range across the colours; smaller ones read tighter and bolder.
Your table will not match the photograph
Your Sala will not look like the photographs, and that is the piece working as intended rather than a warning about it. The maâlem composes every Sala from scratch at the workbench. He chooses each fragment, its colour, its angle and where it sits, so the shapes and the arrangement are decided in Sale on the day, not copied from this page. Look through the photographs in this gallery: they are real Sala tables from real orders, and no two of them are the same. Yours will be its own. What carries over is the technique, the hand-cut Zellij set in cement, and the full spectrum of colour. Tones also shift a little between firings, because every tile is glazed by hand in small batches.
The base is included
Every price includes the folding iron base you see in the photos, painted matte black. One upgrade if you want it: galvanized grey for outdoors (+€39). An ornamented base with forged scrollwork is available on request, message us on WhatsApp or email.
The base and the weather
The base is wrought iron, painted matte black. It is made for indoors, terraces, and covered outdoor spaces. Painted iron does not rust on its own, but where the paint chips and water sits, rust will start. Wiping it dry after rain keeps it as it is for years. For a table that stays outside all year round, choose the galvanized base in the size picker above, +€39 on any size. Good to know before you order: galvanized iron is not black. It keeps the bare zinc coating of the metal, a matte grey, and that grey is the finish of the base you receive.
Your size, your colours, your design
Every table in the atelier is cut after your order, so a custom request is not the exception here. It is the craft itself. A diameter as large as you need, 90 cm and beyond, a height of your own, your colours, or a pattern that exists nowhere yet: the maâlem in Salé cuts it all by hand. Two designs in this collection, Khezama and Qamar, began as one customer's idea. Message me on WhatsApp, Instagram, or Facebook, or write to salam@tissireatelier.com and you will have your quote within a day. See how custom orders work →
Which base comes with the table
Every price includes the folding iron base you see in the photos, painted matte black. It folds flat and the top simply rests on it. The 65 cm height stands on the straight base in the photos, the other heights on the curved one. One upgrade if you want it: galvanized grey for a table that lives outside (+€39), in the Base finish step. The ornamented base with hand-forged scrollwork on the lower part, the artisan's own pattern, no two the same, is available on request: message us on WhatsApp or email and we quote it with your table.
Why this table
This is the artisan's signature design. No pattern is given to him, no template to follow. He chooses every piece, every colour, every placement. What you receive is his composition, made for you, made once. It will never be made again in exactly the same way
Six diameters, Ø20 to Ø90 cm. A side table, a plant stand, a surface for a lamp and a book, or a table people sit around. Whatever the size, the composition is the maâlem's own and is made only once
The wrought iron base folds flat. The tile top sits on it without fixings, held by its own weight. Easy to move inside, take outside, or store
With every colour present, it holds its own against any interior. Against a neutral room it becomes the focal point. Against a colourful room it becomes part of the conversation
The craft
Zellij (also written zellige) is a Moroccan tilework tradition with roots going back to the 10th century. Each tile is shaped by hand using a steel hammer and chisel, one strike at a time. Then placed alongside its neighbours and set into cement, the traditional bed for Zellij. Cement takes full sun without softening or warping, and it holds the surface flat for decades, indoors and out. There are no machines involved at any step. The craft is practiced in a handful of cities in Morocco. The artisan who makes these tables works in Salé, on the Atlantic coast, where the tradition has been passed from generation to generation. The tables are made exclusively for You.
Care
Cleaning
Wipe with a damp cloth. Mild soap is fine. Avoid abrasive cleaners, which can dull the enamel over time. The grout lines can be cleaned with a soft brush.
Outdoor use
The Zellij tiles are frost-resistant and the cement top handles the seasons well, even in full summer sun. The painted base is the part that needs attention. Wipe it dry after rain, and during heavy rain spells and through the snow season use a waterproof cover or bring the table indoors: water that sits and freezes stresses the grout lines, and standing water is what starts rust at a chip. A touch of matte black paint over a chip seals it again.
Natural variations
Each piece is chosen and placed by the artisan. The colours, shapes, and arrangement of your table will differ from the photos. No two Sala tables will ever look alike. That is the nature of a signature piece.
Shipping
Made to order · delivered within 3 to 6 weeks
Each Zellij table is made to order: allow 2 to 4 weeks for it to be made in Salé, and at least 4 weeks for sizes of 90 cm and above, then 1 to 2 weeks for delivery with UPS, GLS or a private courier, whichever serves your address best. All in, count roughly 3 to 6 weeks from order to your door. If it takes a little longer, because every piece is handmade and demand can run high, we will let you know by email or WhatsApp. Please include your phone number at checkout so the courier can arrange delivery with you.
Check the box before you accept it
Your table travels padded, wrapped and boxed, and a courier still has to carry it to your door. Take a minute at the door: look at the box for dents, holes, crushed corners or a torn side, and open it in front of the driver if you can. If anything looks wrong, write it on the delivery slip before you sign, or refuse the parcel. If a neighbour or a parcel point receives it for you, please check it as soon as you collect it.
Arrives damaged? We make it right, free
Every table is checked before it leaves the atelier, then protected, wrapped and boxed for transport. In the rare case it arrives damaged, send us photos of the box and of the piece within 48 hours of delivery, at salam@tissireatelier.com or on WhatsApp, with your order number. Those early photos are what let us open the file with the carrier, and we repair or remake your table for you, at our cost.
