Our studio received a commission to manufacture handmade tiles to clad a wine fridge. The curved corner tiles were designed using Cad programs to ensure accuracy and a precise fit.

The colours were formulated to match the Clifton and Bantry bay coast below Nettleton Road. Three tones of the colour provide a dreamlike shimmering effect in a room designed to relax with friends while enjoying one of South Africa’s unsurpassed views!

This handmade ceramic panel has been installed lately in Durban.
It is made up of metro tiles, 75 x 150mm in size and with custom sizes, so that the artist could harmoniously arrange the herb words inside the border.
Although the herb names or words are a classic we did complete another mural at the same time with the husband’s special chilli recipe instead!
The off-white or bone white colour of the metro tile is the choice of most clients as it blends seamlessly with all interiors.

The client often approach us to create and produce handmade tiles for her new kitchens, and this one is the most original of them all!
Each handmade tile were seperately formed and pressed by hand with a porcelain clay body and the mural was made to fit the space above the stove in this awesome kitchen!
The colour is a warm off-white with the design in a deep charcoal for a classic end-result.
The children’s input were noted and the ” Een Vir Almal & Almal Vir Een” was partly due to their suggestions.

By using a variety of design elements, Xperiencemakers created a harmonious interior for this Stellenbosch client.
Our small tiles on the wall, all in cream with the checkerboard arrangement of large tiles on the floor contrast with the raw clay brick at the entrance to the kitchen.
The use of colour, with the cream on the walls, cabinets and stove binding the contrasting green and reds of the cabinets at either side, creates a lively and all so homely kitchen.
The deeper tones of natural wood creates the necassary depth.

The client, an artist herself, enquired about patterned tiles to use behind her stove and bash basin as back-splash tiles.
I consulted with her, at the site, and advised her to opt for a rich plain tile that will compliment some of the paint techniques she uses on several of her paintings hanging in the area. In general her interior and objet d’art have a rich patina of colour and texture and there was no need for a big budget patterned tile.

Be so kind to view the development of this project here.
The demand for pattern as a decorative element is back! Interior designers, architects, clients, … have a healthy appetite for geometric designs, and not exclusively for wall use BUT on the floors as well.
The tiles were specially made to be flat and the patterns were all hand painted on a porcelain based clay body.

What a surprise! 
And the next inserts are also off-beat and refreshing.
I shall add some more information at a later stage.

Hi Gerrit and Gillian,
Thank you for the wonderful Halcyon Days tile panel that you made for our new kitchen at Malgas and especially for having them ready within the time frame that you advised. We love them and will definitely send you before/after photographs of the tile installation above the gas hob once it is complete. The installation of the kitchen cupboards will commence early October, so the installation of the tiles should be complete by mid to end October.
Enjoy the upcoming long weekend.
Kind regards,
Hi Gerrit and Gillian,
Thanks very much for pushing this through, with as they say, “A Dash of Speed”
Once you let us know that the tiles are ready, we will collect them, if it suits you on a Saturday morning on our way to the Breede River.
The builder phoned me to say that the tiles that have already been installed above the gas hob really looked fantastic - so well done Team Mytile!
Kind Regards,
Guy and Jay

We often have surplus handmade and hand painted tiles available that an individual or decorator can use to revamp a neglected area.
This kitchen is a great example of what can be achieved with our handmade Delft tiles.
The client attempted to use the Delft tiles as inserts with cheaper CTM tiles, but once he has received and viewed our quality tiles, realized that he need to use tiles from our studio exclusively!
“Hi Gerrit,
What a search to get quality, startling and affordable “backsplash” tiles for a kitchen. After months and months of paging through kitchen and other interior decorating books and visits to tile shops, we decided to make a call to Slavin & Company and ask them if they could help us. They’ve given us the web info of someone who passed away some time ago but this led us to your website for the obvious reason – you had the solution.
What a pleasure it has been doing business with you – giving us the right advise, not pushing us into any direction, answering my e-mails very, very late at night, sending off parcels without any delay, bending backwards with your timing and your willingness to negotiate on the price.
It was such a pleasant and challenging exercise to build our own pattern – with each commissioning I guess you say that this is the best we’ve done – but ours must be the best ever!!! We get so many compliments that you should start paying advertising fees - to us.
I can keep on saying good and nice things about our end product and about Southern Art Ceramics Design – but my wife said I should not “gush” to much. Just a bit of advise to those who are busy renovating or building – do not waste time in searching for quality handmade tiles elsewhere – do yourself the favour and get the best from Southern Art Ceramics Design.
Thank you yet again for your great product and assistance.
Regards
Gerhard Basson”
