Encaustic Tiles

Our Encaustic Tiles are a reinvention of the traditional coloured ceramic floor tile. Made from an unglazed, vitrified clay, the colours and patterns are formed as part of the clay body itself meaning that they will never fade.

Encaustic Tiles were originally popularised by the Victorians who valued their durability and vibrance, using them to pave the floors of many of that era’s grandest buildings.

We applied our unique, experimental approach to manufacturing to reimagine this historic process. Blocks of clay are marble together by hand before being flattened in a 60 tonne hydraulic press.
