Wall Oribe tiles are the pinnacle of Japanese ceramic artistry, crafted by one of Mittsu’s distinguished Master Ceramicists. These tiles draw inspiration from the avant-garde spirit of the Momoyama era (late 1600s), an era marked by bold innovation in Japanese ceramics. The name “Oribe” itself is a tribute to Oribe Furuta (1543–1615), a visionary ceramic artist whose legacy lives on through this exceptional collection.
Hailing from Toki City in Gifu, Japan—an epicenter of Minoyaki ceramics, Wall Oribe tiles exemplify the mastery of one of Japan’s most renowned ceramic traditions. The deep, rich green glaze is the hallmark of Oribe ware, a colour that is both timeless and full of character. This vivid green glaze, created through traditional firing techniques, responds beautifully to light, revealing layers of depth, from intense jade hues to softer, earthy shades.
What truly sets Wall Oribe apart is the individuality of each tile. No two tiles are ever the same. Subtle variations in tone and texture occur naturally during the firing process, embodying the wabi-sabi philosophy of beauty in imperfection. These organic differences make each tile installation a work of art, with slight shifts in colour and finish that give the surface a dynamic, living quality. The tiles invite viewers to appreciate their nuanced details, from the gentle undulations in glaze to the soft, textured feel that brings warmth and character to any setting.
The glazing process imbues these tiles with a natural sheen that highlights their hand-crafted essence, and over time, their patina deepens, making each piece more unique with age. The tiles seem to capture the essence of nature—like the shifting tones of a forest, alive with light and shadow. This organic aesthetic transforms walls into serene landscapes, whether used in modern or traditional interiors, enriching spaces with a touch of authenticity.
Beyond their visual appeal, Wall Oribe tiles carry the weight of centuries of expertise. Each tile is a testament to the enduring legacy of Minoyaki ceramics, a tradition that honours the balance of nature, craftsmanship, and artistic innovation. The versatility of these tiles ensures they complement a variety of design schemes, from minimalist interiors to richly textured environments, while always standing out as a statement of timeless beauty.
Wall Oribe tiles are more than mere decoration; they are a celebration of history, craftsmanship, and the natural world, making them an unforgettable choice for any space seeking authenticity and depth.
