The Obsidian 4x4 carbon black zellige tile is a bold, handcrafted Moroccan tile defined by its deep black tone and dramatic surface variation. Rich carbon-black glaze flows naturally across each piece, creating a striking contrast between glossy highlights and softer matte areas. This organic movement is the result of traditional hand glazing, making every tile subtly different and full of character.
Made as a square zellige tile, this 4x4 zellige tile offers a timeless format that works beautifully in both modern and classic spaces. Slight edge irregularities, glaze pooling, and tonal depth are intentional features of authentic Moroccan craftsmanship, adding texture and depth that cannot be replicated by machine-made tiles.
This carbon black zellige tile is suitable for a wide range of applications, including kitchen backsplashes, bathroom walls, shower walls and floors, fireplace surrounds, and interior floors, even in high-traffic areas. It can also be used for exterior walls, outdoor floors in non-freeze climates, and pools and spas when properly installed and sealed.
From a design perspective, this square carbon black zellige tile pairs perfectly with modern, industrial, Mediterranean, and minimalist interiors. It complements natural stone, concrete, brass, and warm wood tones, making it an ideal choice for statement walls, dramatic kitchens, and refined architectural spaces.
As with all handmade Moroccan zellige, sealing is required after installation to protect the surface and enhance durability.
