Want your home to stand out from the crowd? Go for your own customized tiling from The Nile Co., where you can create your own look for walls, flooring and outdoor spaces. One year shy of celebrating its 75th anniversary, Nile Co. - founded in 1942 by pioneering Egyptian industrialist Ibrahim Abdel Hafiz - is one of the largest manufacturers of high-quality cement and terrazzo tiles in Egypt and the region. They have teamed up with Tandem, a boutique design and branding studio in Maadi for their logo and catalog design, and with interior designer, stylist and blogger Soraya Hassan of Binti Home for their Nile Co. revamp this year. Hassan styled and photographed tiles from the Handmade, Mosaico, Outdoor, Quartzite and Single Layer collections for the Nile Co.’s new catalog, which showcases a product range that includes handmade cement tiles, double-layer terrazzo and single-layer tiles, decorative outdoor and pavement tiles, and natural quartzite stone tiles for indoor and outdoor use.

Classic, vibrant and durable, each Nile Co. tile is uniquely handmade in Egypt and available in a variety of decorative patterns and colors. The Handmade Collection, for example, features over 100 motifs and 60 shades to coordinate with any type of decor. Tiles can be fully customized and used in most indoor and outdoor spaces for both commercial and residential applications. Restaurants like Sequoia, Zooba, Pottery Cafe, Lilly’s Restaurant or Tamara Bistro have all infused Nile Co. tiles into their decor.
