The Meeting of Clay and Glass

Just as people did 5000 years ago, we too, are amazed by the magnificence of nature.

With the simple union on earth and fire, tiles, the colour of soil with the strength of metal, are born. We then take a mixture of mineral and glass powder with water and spread a thin layer on each tile, bringing each to life with vivid colours.

When we make our tiles we create a design, apply the colours, and leave the rest to the power of fire. And each time we are stunned by the miraculous transformation that happens before us.

The colour pink, after baking, has an extremely uneven texture, similar to coral.
The vitality of green embodies the texture of the wind sweeping through a forest, while blue is so intense that in one millimeter of space you can see the depth of a blue sky.

Sprung from a love affair between human passion and the warmth of nature we create tiles by binding together a delicate layer of enamel with firm earth. An amazing balance manifests from the translucent colourful glass and simple yet majestic earth.
Like children, we remain awed and speechless by the miracles of nature.
