Azure Tide ceramic brick is a blue-green handmade glazed ceramic tile inspired by Mediterranean water, Atlantic light and the shifting colour of shallow coastal tides. Fresh, vibrant and full of movement, it introduces a lively aquatic tone to the De Ferranti x AAA – Alvaro Afonso Atelier brick collection.

Part of The Blues Bricks Collection, this product has been developed through the collaboration between De Ferranti and AAA – Alvaro Afonso Atelier. The collection celebrates the beauty of handmade glazed ceramics, where natural variation, surface movement and kiln character give every installation an individual identity.

The glaze moves between turquoise, teal and soft marine blue, giving Azure Tide ceramic brick a rich decorative character without losing its architectural restraint. In the elongated brick format, the colour takes on a rhythmic quality, especially across larger walls, pools, spa areas and feature installations. Handmade surface variation, crazing and irregular edges allow light to catch the glaze differently from tile to tile, creating visual depth and texture.

This particular product has one of the most expressive colours within The Blues Bricks palette. It bridges blue and green, making it particularly useful for projects that require freshness, energy and a connection to water. Used alone, it creates a vivid coastal surface. Combined with deeper and softer blues, it contributes to a more painterly tonal composition.

Azure Tide ceramic brick is particularly suited to Bathrooms, Swimming Pools, Water Features, Spa Areas, Shower Walls, Splashbacks, Boutique Hotels and Hospitality Interiors. It brings colour, light and movement to architectural surfaces while retaining the warmth of handmade production.

Designing with the Azure Tide ceramic brick

The elongated proportion also allows the glaze to be arranged horizontally, vertically or in offset bonds, changing the pace of the surface without altering its colour palette. Grout tone and joint width should be considered alongside the intended layout and lighting.

Additional tones within The Blues Bricks family include Imperial Navy, Midnight Delft, Mistwashed Sky and Skywash Blue.

The Azure Tide ceramic brick can be paired with the related blue brick tones above to introduce tonal variation, measured contrast and a more individually composed surface while retaining the consistent rhythm of the elongated format.
