A deep ruby -red capiz tile with a soft, translucent glow, where overlapping shell layers create a moody, lacquer-like richness that shifts between velvet and ember as the light moves.

Red Capiz Shell is made from natural capiz shell, cut and layered to form a square tile surface with gentle tonal depth. The colour sits in a dark red spectrum, with subtle variations that read like pooled pigment or smoked garnet , and faint organic striations that reveal the shell’s natural structure up close.

The finish is smooth and reflective enough to catch highlights, but still carries a mineral softness in the body of the tile. It is best used on vertical surfaces such as splashbacks, bar fronts, niche interiors, powder room walls, feature panels, and decorative joinery, where its translucency and colour can be appreciated. If used with backlighting, the tile can take on a stained-glass effect, intensifying the red and bringing the layering to life.

As a shell surface, expect natural variation in pattern and tone, and specify careful maintenance. Avoid acidic substances and harsh cleaners, and use gentle, non-abrasive products to preserve the finish.
