Design is sometimes the result of inspiration but just as often the result of play. What emerged here from various experimental firings was the interesting and subtle contrast between the half-circle made present through glaze and the half-circle made absent through glazing the space around it. It’s almost as though the half-circle is eclipsed in […]

The combination of our handmade tiles in a cream base glaze and screen-printed colours in orange, brown and yellow makes this bathroom warm and surprising.
This tile design evokes the fun and chaos of 'sjoelen', the traditional Dutch table top game that involves sliding wooden pucks down a long board and through holes at the end.

At first this tile was called ‘Leaves’ in recognition of the bamboo tree pattern which can emerge in certain configurations. One day, however, a toucan’s beak popped out, unbidden, from the leaves. With imagination, of course, many things can be seen depending on the arrangement of tiles. Toucan is available in an elegant extended brick […]
Vasarely, father of the op-ed movement, was interested in geometry and illusion and his ubiquitous 3D cubes were the starting point for this design. Here a simple detail of the cube is used to suggest a new asymmetric effect. The potential for illusion remains but the unique texture of screen-printed glaze on ceramic tiles offers […]
We’ve been looking for a reason to talk about the fantastic tiles of Marianne Smink since first covering her work here in 2017. And finally we have one! A new collection and addition to Smink…
