nAMI

Mini Japanese Concave Tiles

Gracefully contoured and delicately proportioned, NAMI captures the rhythm of waves in a small concave form. Handcrafted in Japan using traditional extrusion techniques, each tile reveals quiet movement and subtle depth through its gentle curvature and glaze variations.

Its staggered layout forms a gentle, undulating surface. Compact in scale, NAMI brings a quiet, sculptural presence to walls, turning any installation into an expressive, textural backdrop.
