Walker Zanger is refashioning the Duquesa tile collection—a new, durable cement offering of its four designs Alba, Fatima, Fez, and Jasmine. Each style profile is inspired by old-world mosaic patterns and textures, including Moorish bronze metalwork, Moroccan arched doorways, and Italian textiles. Duquesa tiles feature the manufacturer’s exclusive color palette, Mezzanotte, a contrast of light gray, creamy, and dusty blue tones. The handcrafted tiles are 8 inches square.  walkerzanger.com
