The magnificent past civilisations of the Orient and the Mediterranean produced some truly splendid ceramic tiles. We often admire wonderful examples of these in museums worldwide as well as in well preserved buildings.

Our passion for ceramics was inspired by these antique examples which we wish to share with you. We have developed a unique collection of hand painted tiles which reflect the ancient designs and colours of historic masterpieces. Our craftsmen hand paint each individual tile using the same skills as in the past. We want to share with you the subtle refinements of the Orient and the sunlit shades of the Mediterranean.

Andalousian range
The andalusian genius expresses itself best in geometrical design and composition. Circles, squares, triangles, diamonds, hexagons and octogons… mingle and interwine gracefully and harmoniously over the tiled walls.

Mediterranean range
Their style originated in Spain and Italy but was also dominant in Provence and Sicily. Their luminosity is powerfully and gracefully reflected as the hallmark of this range. The craftsmen who decorate these tiles paint entirely free hand. Blue reigns supreme and blends with yellow ochre to produce harmonious effects, while naive flowers enhance the delicate charm of ceramic tiles, meant primarily for a sunny architectural milieu.

Oriental range
They originate from the realm of the Shahs and the empire of the Sultans. Some even come from further afield. The centuries have not dimmed their wonderful patina and the elegance of their refined design explain their great popularity among the connaisseurs and the aficionados.

Tunisian range
For centuries, ceramists from Nabeul, Tunis and Djerba have been successful in blending the contribution of eastern and western art with ancient local traditions. This has earned Tunisia the reputation of being one of the richest producers of ceramic tiles in the Mediterranean. We have adapted this time-honoured heritage and attempted to restore its provincial charm and vigour.





Mexican design (2006)
Inherited from the Moors with deep Spanish roots, the Mexican tiles brought into Mexico by the conquistadores cover the gorgeous facades of many colonial buildings. Merging with the rich Maya and Aztec culture they reflect the colour combination talent of the Mexican craftsmanship. Our Mexican selection is a free interpretation of this legacy. The hand painted tiles offer a combination of shiny brightly coloured patterns contrasting nicely with the mat base of the tiles. The collection comes in the traditional white and cobalt blue colours or in a warm palette with its characteristic rusty red.

Nostalgia "Craquelé finish " (2006)
To rediscover the attractive texture of crazing on hand decorated tiles. The thickness of the biscuit (11mm) and its humped relief add to the allure of this collection. The under glaze decoration imparts to the palette of oxides used all its profound charm.
