Morocco goes Mod
By Tiles of Ezra
A Studio Ezra masterpiece
You’ll have to pardon our French but HOLY BLEEP. An electric blue floor, ceiling, and everything in between. Gold mosaic tiles. Scalloped archways. A bathroom like no other. If you’re as intrigued by this bathroom’s story as we are, you’ll want to pull up a chair and carry on reading...
Georgia, tell us about the inspiration behind the design?
Our client came to us with an image of a white, gold, and vibrant blue mosaic and said “this is our inspiration, we want something incredibly bold, intense, and experiential. We want this bathroom to make a statement and to be something that’s exclusive to us .” I drew inspiration from India, Paris, and Morocco. I wanted the space to hit visually and experientially as you saw it and as you felt it. First and foremost, the space had to work and be functional for the client, so that was the most exciting part... designing a room that pushed the boundaries and limits of a traditional bathroom. This meant looking at the placements of the sinks and mirrors and how they formed the room instead of the room forming them.

Is it daunting creating spaces that aren't the stereotypical, monochrome bathroom?
It is the most enjoyable, pleasurable, and passion-driven job. This was an absolute dream project for me. I love that it is so unique that most others would not want it in their home - but most will appreciate and value the boldness and anti-trend, exclusive nature of the space.
Georgia experimented with our Moroccan zellige basics too, creating texture and emphasizing form using only our zellige squares.

About the
Professional
Tiles of Ezra is a bespoke tile studio specialising in handmade tiles from around the world. We pride ourselves on providing premium, high-quality Zellige that is 100% handmade by skilled artisans using age-old techniques handed down from generation to generation. We honour the sustainability of craftsmanship and support fair trade while bringing unique and authentic tile solutions into Australian design.
Unable to find a tile range that would facilitate many projects in Australia for her interior design for STUDIOEZRA, Georgia Ezra, director and creator of Tiles of Ezra, decided to take matters into her own hands. As an interior designer* whose signature style includes exotic cultural references, it was imperative to find an authentic, high-quality product.
Her search for unique, ethnic tiling, turned into a creative project and the foundation for Tiles of Ezra was born. A treasure hunter and market-maven at heart, Georgia searched the globe for inspiration and resources, creating partnerships and relationships with teams from Morocco,Vietnam and Mexico who specialise in producing authentic sustainable and handmade tile products.
*Georgia Completed a four-year Bachelor of Interior Architecture at UNSW in Sydney, finishing with first degree honours
TRADITIONAL AND HANDCRAFTED TILES WE LOVE
Merging Georgia’s experience in contemporary design and instinct for trend, with the group’s traditional handicraft abilities, proved a magical combination. The highly-skilled team of makers embarked on manufacturing a collection of unique modern designs in addition to many ethnic classics.
‘Tiles of Ezra’ is proud to share these designs with you because they are a labour of love not only for us but for our wonderful makers.
We have brought these tiles to Australia, in order to expand the platform of this style of interior fabrication. We hope that you too will reap the enjoyment of such vivacious, exotic creations within your own space.
