Faceted Relief Tile Africa B
This sculptural tile presents a faceted geometric composition, where angular planes intersect with carved linear detailing to create a powerful play of shadow and depth. A triangular frame encloses the central field, while diagonally scored surfaces and leaf-like incisions introduce rhythm and variation within the structure.

Earth shaped into movement.


Every line is cut by hand into raw clay before firing, giving the surface a quiet irregularity that speaks of true craftsmanship. The geometry feels deliberate yet organic - precise, but never mechanical.


Fired using traditional Tierra Negra methods, the tile develops the collection’s signature black satin finish. Subtle undertones of , charcoal and deep earth emerge in changing light, enhancing the relief and giving the piece a softly iridescent quality.


Rooted in a 700-year-old pottery tradition once used for domestic vessels, this tile reinterprets ancient craft as architectural .


Primitive technique.
Modern presence.
Clay elevated to art.
