Nejma means star in Darija. The pattern earns the name. Five or more colours cut into eight-pointed stars and set by hand into white cement. Cobalt blue, forest green, burgundy, ochre, white and sometimes more. A solid blue ring runs the edge. This is one of the oldest Zellij compositions in existence. The same geometry has decorated Moroccan riads, hammams, and palaces for centuries. Made in Salé.

Why this table
The five-colour star pattern is one of the oldest Zellij compositions. The same geometry has decorated Moroccan palaces, hammams, and riads for centuries. The same hand tools. The same technique
At 30 cm / 11.8 in across, it sits perfectly beside an armchair, next to a sofa, or as a nightstand. Small enough to go anywhere. Solid enough to stay
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
Five colours that hold against warm and cool interiors alike. Stone, parquet, terracotta, concrete. The pattern works in any room
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 white cement. 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 suitable for outdoor use. Cover or bring inside during extended periods of heavy rain or frost to preserve the iron base.
Natural variations
Each tile is hand-cut and hand-placed. Slight irregularities in the grout lines, tile edges, colour depth, and height are normal. They are what make the piece real.
