Patio inspiration

Every May, Córdoba opens its courtyards.

At the city's Patios festival, families open their flower-filled courtyards to visitors. These are the kinds of spaces our pieces are made for: whitewashed walls, cool shade, a fountain and a hundred pots.

Our craft

Named after a city of courtyards.

Cordova is the old English spelling of Córdoba. The city gave the world cordovan leather and the striped arches of the Mezquita, and every spring its patios overflow with flowers. We started Cordova Decor to bring a little of that warmth into homes far from Andalucía.

Every piece is made in small batches by independent makers. Nothing is mass-produced, and no two pots or tiles come out exactly alike.
