Imperial Navy MK709 is a deep navy handmade glazed ceramic tile with a rich, saturated colour inspired by indigo pigment, maritime blue and the dramatic depth of old-world glazed ceramics. Bold, elegant and architectural, it brings a powerful decorative presence to the De Ferranti x AAA - Alvaro Afonso Atelier brick collection.

Part of The Blues Bricks Collection, Imperial Navy MK709 has been developed through the collaboration between De Ferranti and AAA - Alvaro Afonso Atelier. The collection celebrates handmade glazed ceramic surfaces where colour, texture and craft work together to create depth, movement and individuality.

The elongated brick format intensifies the strength of Imperial Navy MK709, allowing the colour to create striking linear surfaces with rhythm and depth. Its handmade glaze reveals subtle variation, gentle crazing and small irregularities that prevent the colour from feeling flat. In changing light, the surface moves between deep cobalt, navy and almost midnight blue, giving the finished installation a luxurious and tactile quality.

Imperial Navy MK709 is particularly suited to spaces that require drama, atmosphere and refinement. Used alone, it creates a strong and enveloping surface. Used as part of a blue tonal scheme, it anchors lighter glazes such as Skywash Blue MK711 and Mistwashed Sky MK703, bringing contrast, weight and sophistication.

This handmade glazed ceramic tile is particularly effective in Bars, Restaurants, Bathrooms, Feature Walls, Fireplace Surrounds, Boutique Hotels, Reception Areas and Hospitality Interiors. It is a confident material choice for projects where colour is intended to shape the mood of the room.
