Striking contrasts in colour and texture are said to bring a “distinctive” beauty to Ceramique Internationale’s recently launched crackle glaze tile collection.
The Art Brut Crackle range displays the irregular edges and non-uniform surfaces that are a signature of traditional Moroccan handcrafted Zellige tiles.
Offered in an elongated 38x235mm format, with a high gloss finish for bathrooms and kitchens, the tiles are available in six colours – Indigo, Emerald, Mustard, Honey, Agatha Grey and Coralito.
While the Coralito and Agatha Grey tiles both crackle evenly, the other colours have reactive enamels which means their crackle is wider and more uneven – a feature which becomes more pronounced as time goes by.
Peter Vann, managing director of Ceramique Internationale, said: “Art Brut Crackle tiles deliver a depth of perspective that makes them an ideal choice for vintage, industrial and rustic style environments, in both residential or commercial settings.
“Each tile is unique in tone and texture, and reflects the light in different ways. It is the very ‘imperfection’ of their irregular crackle glaze and uneven edges which makes them the perfect choice when wishing to create an exceptional space.”
