In 1983, Philip Bellomo embarked on a creative journey that touched his interest in light and shadow and Middle Eastern Architecture. Moorish Screens were his inspiration. By combining porcelain and the magic of reduction firing, Bellomo completed the dream. 

Changing patterns of light and shadow as the sun traces over the tiles' filigree are a delight to the eye as they become functional window coverings or room dividers. The tiles filter out as much as 80% of the sun's rays, while still permitting the flow of air through the filigree without sacrificing privacy.

These important architectural screens are found throughout the Middle East, North Africa, Sicily and Spain.
