Introducing Nigi - Where Tradition Meets Timeless Elegance.
Handcrafted by one of Mittsu’s esteemed Japanese Master Ceramicists, the Nigi tile collection is a tribute to the exquisite artistry and ancient techniques that define Japanese ceramic heritage. Measuring 145x15 mm, each tile in the Nigi series offers a distinct yet harmonious blend of natural tones and intricate textures that transform spaces with an unmistakable aura of sophistication.
The glaze on each Nigi tile is a masterpiece of depth and subtlety, achieved through a meticulous process that allows for an organic variation in color and texture. The glaze has been expertly applied to reveal a natural gradation, with certain areas of the tile richer in color and others softly muted, creating a balanced yet dynamic visual rhythm across each piece.
As light interacts with the surface, the tiles come alive, revealing a delicate interplay of granules and flecks within the glaze. These subtle details add an alluring depth, giving the tiles a sense of movement and texture that draws the eye and invites close inspection. The irregularities and slight variations in each tile reflect the hands of the master craftsman, ensuring no two pieces are exactly alike. This uniqueness makes each tile a small work of art, imbuing any space with a sense of warmth and character that feels both modern and timeless.
Nigi tiles are not merely a functional element; they are an expression of refined elegance, capturing the beauty of imperfection and the serenity of Japanese aesthetics. Perfect for both traditional and contemporary settings, the Nigi collection is designed to elevate interiors, whether used as a statement wall, a backsplash, or an accent that brings a touch of artisanal charm. Embrace the enduring allure of Japanese craftsmanship with Nigi – where every tile tells a story of heritage, art, and beauty.
