Looking for a last-minute late Christmas present? These zellige trays were destined for a Christmas sale at our Paris showroom - cancelled when the incessant rain caused a ceiling collapse 😱. So, they are in Marrakech - just 2 of each colorway plus some fetching all-brass trays (photos tomorrow) - and can be collected or FEDEXed wherever. And if they arrive late for Christmas, they’d be pretty great loaded with Champagne-filled coupes at New Years. Trays measure 40cm x 25cm. DM if interested.

A boot room, if you are lucky enough to have one, is one of the great liminal spaces between indoors and out. A welcome space to exchange muddy Wellies for cozy slippers. A place that encourages tidiness - think storage for tennis racquets, sun hats, bike helmets… Come to think of it, I’d like a nice boot room for my mind at the moment:)

This one by @pringleandpringle is an indigo dream, beckoning us in from the cold and damp. Lovely photos by @alexanderjamesphoto

Tiles are our BACKGAMMON in Indigo and Milk.

This Jacques Couëlle villa is thoughtfully renovated by @maisonathilie respecting the architecture-sculpture movement of which Couëlle was a part. Sculpting in concrete. Couëlle was a friend of Picasso and Dali - heady artistic stuff.

Tiles in the kitchen are our SQUARISH ON FOUR.

Truth be told, I am a shower girl, but this indigo @bcdesignsuk tub in this cheery bathroom by @chantelelshoutdesign might just flip me. And it’s in the designer’s own Dutch barn. Photo by @alexanderjamesphoto

Tiles are our HEX ZULU. And I threw in some other color combos to show its versatility.

With winter around the corner, we are thinking about how nice pink is in a bathroom. Makes everyone look healthy and rosy, even sun-kissed. Love this bathroom by @sheflerinteriors photo by @skrasyuk and styles by @onufreichuk_before_after

Tiles are BRASILIA - a pattern that inspires many oermutations.

LOVE from popham and happy weekend to all. This is how our handcrafted concrete tiles are made. One by one, and with love… of craft, culture, and Moroccan artistry.

Things we love. Showers with benches. Showers that open to the outdoors. Blue and white forever. Well done ticking the boxes @anaberdesign !

From a few days ago at the workshop. Playing around with samples for a very personal project.

Plain 30cm and BRASILIA SPINE tiles in Marrakech/Jaipur and Peat/Cream. Diamond combos in Tagine, Cream, Kohl and Jaipur (fun how different they look when you change out one color for another!). And ELONGATED HEX DEMI in a classic Kohl/Cream.

Architect Louis Kahn famously said, You say to brick, “what do you want, brick?” Brick says to you, “I like an arch.” Well, we are pretty certain our BAGUETTE tiles in color Nutmeg find themselves happily ensconced in this arched shower nook by @alvo_architectes - love the combination of stacked and running tiles in this layout. A cozy and inviting arched shower to be sure!

Well, if ever there was a dream team! The #austin home of @drunkelephant founder Tiffany Masterson designed by talent @elizabethyoungdesign photographed by legend @douglasfriedman styled by @jennyconnorstudio for @archdigest with words by @leilanimarielabong is a top-to-toe marvel. Lots of popham tiles, too, with a shout out to plain tiles in interesting forms (and colors!) - hex, pentagon and plus, to name a few.

1 - KELLY in Saffron/Milk
2/3 - HEX PLAIN in Smoke
4 - PENTAGON in Smoke, Milk, Chartreuse and Emerald
5 - HEX PLAIN and HEX LANE in Smoke, Milk and Emerald
6 - PLUS (clever backsplash and hood surround) in Emerald and floor in HEX PLAIN Smoke

And last but not least… From our collab with @mapoesie_paris comes NAZARÉ, a pattern inspired by the epic surf spot in Portugal. Wave after endless wave. This one is on a skinnier rectangle- 30x15cm - and can be laid out vertical, horizontal, in a herringbone, a stuttered brickwork… So many fun possibilities. Bravo Elsa and team MaPoesie.

CELESTE. The second pattern in the @mapoesie_paris x popham design collaboration. This one has an undeniable and groovy nod to the 1970’s. This is Parisian patterning at its soigné best.
