Two ever alike
The craft — 01 / 05

It starts with raw pigment.

Soft clay. Zinc grey. Bone white. Mineral colour, measured by eye and by memory.

The craft — 02 / 05

Hand-poured into every mold.

No machine decides where the colour settles. A craftsman does, one pour at a time.

The craft — 03 / 05

Pressed under 200 tonnes.

Two hundred tonnes of pressure. One pair of hands to guide it.

The craft — 04 / 05

Cured. Polished. Unique.

Weeks of patience, then the surface is honed until the cement begins to shine.

The craft — 05 / 05

No two are ever the same.

Same pattern. Same mold. A different story in every single tile.

The process — start to finish

Eight steps. Eighty-five years.

Step 1 / 08

Pigment Selection

Mineral colour is weighed and mixed by hand, batch by batch.

Step 2 / 08

Mold Preparation

Brass dividers are set into the mold to hold each pattern line.

Step 3 / 08

The Pour

Coloured cement is ladled into each cell, one shade at a time.

Step 4 / 08

Backing Layer

A coarse mortar is added to give the tile its body and strength.

Step 5 / 08

Hydraulic Press

200 tonnes of pressure bond the layers into a single slab.

Step 6 / 08

Curing

Tiles rest and cure slowly for up to four weeks.

Step 7 / 08

Honing & Polish

The surface is ground back until the pattern reveals itself.

Step 8 / 08

Inspection

Every tile is checked by eye. None is ever quite the same.

The configurator — specify

Your pattern. Your finish.

01 — Pattern
02 — Finish

Hold a finished tile to the light and the surface changes with the angle. That is the cement, not a print.
