On-trend: Mustard yellow tiles
The new designs are encaustic cement tiles, the creme de la creme of tiles. Individually hand-crafted, each one is created by artisans without using clay, glazes or kilns. Instead Otto Tiles & Design use only high-quality Turkish cement sand with natural stones granule and colour pigments.
Each tile is hand-pressed to apply the on-trend yellow design. Due to their handmade nature, each tile has slight variations, even ‘imperfections’, but that’s part of their charm.
