Meet Atelier – Tonal Gloss Tiles with Zellige Soul
Every so often, a tile range comes along that quietly captures everything we love about craftsmanship, light and texture. The new
Atelier collection is one of those moments. Inspired by traditional Moroccan zellige, but refined through contemporary production, it brings artisanal beauty into modern spaces with ease.
A Modern Take on Handcrafted Heritage
Atelier draws its inspiration from the imperfect charm of handmade zellige tiles — each piece slightly irregular, each surface full of life. The collection captures that same spirit but with all the reliability and precision of Italian porcelain.
The result is a surface that feels organic and tactile while being practical for everyday use. The subtle variation in tone gives walls a depth that flat, mass-produced tiles can’t achieve. Whether in a bathroom, kitchen or feature wall, the play of light across the glossy glaze adds quiet movement and warmth.
The Details That Matter
- Finish: High gloss, reflecting light beautifully to make smaller spaces feel open and bright.
- Material: Porcelain with approximately 60% recycled content, offering strength and sustainability.
- Use: Wall-only, suitable for interior settings.
- Sizes:
- 132 × 132 mm square
- 65 × 200 mm rectangle
Both formats can be used individually for uniformity or mixed together for subtle rhythm and texture.
Tonal Perfection
The first release focuses on Atelier White Gloss, a soft, neutral shade that complements both classic and contemporary schemes. Each tile has gentle tonal shifts, allowing designers to build dimension without relying on colour contrast.
When installed, the surface has a handcrafted quality — an understated luxury that pairs beautifully with materials like brushed brass, warm oak and natural stone.
For designers and homeowners drawn to calm, minimal spaces, Atelier offers a way to add depth and texture while keeping the overall feel clean and cohesive.
Designed for Today’s Spaces
Because the tiles are porcelain, they deliver exceptional performance alongside their beauty. The gloss finish is easy to clean and durable, while the recycled content speaks to sustainable design values — something increasingly important in both residential and commercial projects.
The compact formats also allow creative layout patterns, from classic stacked to offset brick bonds or intricate mosaics. These options give freedom to design walls that feel personal and expressive without needing bold colour or pattern.
How to Style Atelier
- Pair with natural finishes – timber, linen, clay or limestone – to create a calm, spa-like environment.
- Use matte or textured tiles (like Ceppo Greige or Palatina Classico) as grounding elements to balance the gloss.
- For contrast, introduce dark grouts to outline each tile and celebrate its handcrafted irregularity.
- Keep lighting soft and warm to highlight the tile’s glaze and tonal movement.
Why It Works
Atelier isn’t about trends that fade quickly. It’s about timeless character — surfaces that tell a story through tone, reflection and light.
For designers seeking tiles that bring warmth without noise, and for homeowners wanting something quietly special, Atelier delivers the perfect balance of authenticity and modern design.
