Aït Manos launches its new Art Deco zellige collection

Innovation and imagination, tied to the ancestral values ​​of Moroccan zelliges manufacturing, structure the production of Aït Manos. Shaped by the eloquence of infinitely repeating geometries, the Art Deco collection, studded with 18-carat gold, emerges from the workshops like a hymn to preciousness.

Aït as in "tribe," manos as in "hands." Aït Manos means "the tribe of hands." In the workshops of Casablanca, the tribe brings together the protagonists of a centuries-old know-how. First, the earth. The raw material of zellige, it has always been clay, beaten by hand and worked on the ground. Then the maâlem, literally "the one who knows," the master zelliger craftsman, a virtuoso in cutting and assembling. Aït Manos was born from the meeting of Tawfik Bennani and Ghalia Sebti, two lovers of Morocco and the decorative arts. In 1995, they embarked with faith on the adventure of zellige, which tells like no other the story of the kingdom of Morocco since the 10th century.

The glazed terracotta mosaic of all colors offers an inexhaustible repertoire. Its varied decorations and infinitely multiplied geometric shapes engrave a memory of excellence. Casablanca's cosmopolitan cultural mix has always shaped a rich and diverse architectural heritage. The new creation orchestrated by Tawfik Bennani is called Art Deco. A collection that reinterprets the motifs of the neo-Moorish aesthetic of the early 20th century, fragments of which a discerning eye can still pick up on the streets of the white city.

These mosaic fragments tell this story, woven into architecture, by combining geometry, sophistication, and chromatic simplicity. Six different motifs adorned with 18-carat gold, black, and Carrara white become contemporary tales of a part of the past. Challenge and invention are invited into this precious series. "Our joy is innovation. We have developed a third-firing enamel, in 18-carat gold, the result of the research work of our color laboratories, to perpetuate know-how, while remaining authentic at the level of handmade."

Aït Manos revolutionizes form and content; its zelliges travel the world. Because innovation also means working behind the scenes with pre-assembled panels that are light, thin, and easy to install. Thus, raw clay and perfect gold, hand in hand, sketch a new eternity.
