Le Marei 1 is a hand-painted terracotta tile inspired by the Paris metro stations of the 1930s, combining charcoal and off-white with a paprika accent to create an urban, graphic pattern with timeless French elegance.

This design is built for rhythm and repeat. A central diamond of charcoal polka dots is framed by bold diagonal bands, while the surrounding corners carry a lively paprika motif that brings warmth and movement without overwhelming the composition.

The terracotta base gives the surface a softer, more human feel than a factory-perfect tile, and the hand-painted finish ensures each piece carries subtle variation and character. Laid in fours, the motif locks into a strong geometric field that feels both classic and slightly playful, like the best of early 20th-century Paris.

Ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, entrance halls, stair halls, and feature walls where you want pattern with architectural structure. Colourways available: charcoal and paprika on off-white.
