Material · Ceramic tiles
COLB ceramic tile tables are tiled furniture made from fired, hand-laid ceramic tiles with mineral grout. Precise grid, robust for everyday use, configurable in 16 colours and 10 grout colours. Four sizes, every combination handcrafted in Berlin-Friedrichshain.
Material
Ceramic tiles are fired in 10×10 cm or 15×15 cm, individually hand-laid and sealed with mineral grout. The surface is robust, durable and resistant to moisture. Compared to wood tiles they are more precise in appearance and more varied in colour.
Hundreds of combinations of tile colour and grout colour are possible – from monochrome-minimalist to high-contrast-expressive. Each Cube is handcrafted in the COLB workshop in Berlin-Friedrichshain. The grid remains visible, the object clear.
