An original tile manufacturer that develops its own tile colors and finishes from scratch
In recent years, tiles have been gaining renewed attention as a building material.
Many people are considering using them as an accent in special spaces such as kitchens and washrooms.
However, because tile culture originated in the West, it is not uncommon to encounter situations such as “I can’t find the color I had in mind” or “Overseas products are too expensive.”
In addition to offering a wide range of original tiles, TILE made will help you find tiles that match your vision.
The relationship between original tiles and glaze
The color of ceramic products, including tiles, is created by a top layer called glaze.
※While several factors are involved, including the base material and firing temperature, the glaze is the element that has the most significant intentional impact.
Applied before firing, the glaze develops its color and blends in during the firing process—essentially a glass coating.
Leveraging the strength of its parent company, a glaze manufacturer, TILE made develops its own wide range of original glazes.
The deliberately chosen uncertainty of “yohen” (kiln variation)
Some glazes produce uniform results on ceramic products, while others do not.
CTSH deliberately chose glazes that produce uneven “yohen” (kiln variation).
These glazes are applied by hand and are affected by temperature, season, and kiln conditions, meaning their final color cannot be known until they are fired.
CTSH embraces the contrast between its precision machining and these uncertain elements, making it a defining feature of its products.
A three-way collaboration with Miyama
Old Navy Gray is a three-way collaboration combining Miyama’s white porcelain with TILE made’s original glaze.
These mystical pieces offer a unique play of uneven color when lit.
