Unable to find a tile range that would facilitate many projects in Australia for her interior design firm 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.

TRADITIONAL AND HANDCRAFTED TILES WE LOVE

Merging Georgia’s experience in contemporary design and instinct for trend, with the groups’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 our wonderful makers.We have made these tiles accessible globally, 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.

“I also feel strongly about choosing items you love, because for me sustainability goes so much further than only the creation of the product and the material it is made up of. Sustainability for me is the longevity and lifetime of the product. Are you buying something because you are trying to emulate a specific look, or because it spoke to your soul. Buying with the latter at the forefront, means buying products that are timeless for your individual aesthetic needs and requirements, that spark joy and memory. Which ultimately means you live in and with them for many many more years. When you buy products that are in mass by machine (and easily accessible), you don't feel the same commitment to the object, which goes against my personal principle with sustainable timeless pieces for a home.

“This is why I have decided to only work with artisan handmade products or items that come from the earth, focusing on how materials can change the way one feels when entering a space on a sensory level. Not everything will be attractive to everyone, and I like that. Tilesofezra is all about expressing your own individual aesthetic and responding to the items that you love, only. That is sustainable design and practice to me.“
