Tsuki Tiles

Black Bathroom Tiles: Dark Drama Meets Design

TSUKI tiles in Oil envelop this bathroom in deep black ceramic, creating a striking contrast with the landscape beyond. Handcrafted in Japan, the tiles bring texture and depth to the walls, their glazed surface responding to the changing natural light.

A large window frames the surrounding greenery, setting the darkness of the tiled interior against the landscape outside. The contrast gives the bathroom its character, immersive and dramatic, yet connected to its natural surroundings.

The narrow proportions of TSUKI create a strong architectural rhythm across the walls, while the black glaze shifts in tone as light moves across the surface. Paired with the freestanding bath and warm metal fittings, the result is rich, atmospheric and quietly luxurious.

Nori tiles

EXPRESSIVE BLACK WALL TILES FOR MINIMALIST INTERIORS

The monolithic presence of concrete forms both a structural and aesthetic framework, contrasted by a considered palette of tactile materials.

Within this raw, minimalist interior, NORI Black Tar wall tiles introduce a darker, more elemental depth. Their rich glaze brings a quiet intensity to the interior, while the black ceramic surface creates a striking contrast with the natural stone.

The interplay of concrete, stone and handcrafted Japanese ceramic tiles gives the space its weight and character. Against the restraint of the architecture, NORI brings texture and depth without disrupting the simplicity of the interior.
