    Character: The colour and finish of the individual tiles varies from piece to piece, creating a unique finished product.

  • NORI tiles are suitable for interior wall applications and invite creativity in layout and setting. They can be installed in a range of patterns, including staggered, linear, and herringbone, or used to flow effortlessly across curved surfaces for more sculptural expressions.

    Ideal for bathroom walls, kitchen splashbacks, bar fronts, and architectural features, NORI adds texture, depth, and movement to any space. Each tile celebrates the natural variation of handcrafted Japanese ceramics, with rich glazes and tactile finishes.

    Available in a curated palette of inky black tar, moss green, brick red, pumice stone white, and earthy brown — each tone offers its own unique character.

    The Makani team is happy to advise on pattern layouts, grout selection, and best installation practices to ensure the final result is both beautiful and enduring.
