This Danish kitchen was our first Scandinavian contract for exclusive handmade tiles.
The brickwork of this house is an old pattern that can be seen on houses and castles from the middle ages.
The woodwork and hood above and around the extractor must still be installed, and the final images will be posted at a later time.
The client requested samples of the different handmade metro tiles that we produce. It was delivered to her within 7 working days. On seeing the samples, all made using different processes, she requested a custom tile to be produced using specific elements from the different sample tiles. She chose a handmade convex brick shaped tile with an old crackled patina and colour in the glaze. No sample of the new prototype had to be delivered.
At first specific danish words were considered for the panel, but in the end English was the chosen format.
And some compliments!

A brick shaped tile! What a wonderful idea - very unusual and your craftmanship is once again to be admired. No wonder Susanna was “flabbergasted” - the end result is beautiful. I think Susanna’s kitchen is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen on your site, Gerrit. Perhaps Susanna will read this so my compliments to you both. The colour combination - floor and tiles and the rest - is just perfect. It can only be a pleasure to cook in a kitchen like this. It seems that it was quite a complicated process too to produce the final tile but once again you created something to be proud of in your studio! We can’t wait for the final images!

Thank you Elza, she will be sending more images, and I shall post some more.
I like the wood fired oven at the side,… she actually did send me some images with pizzas being baked … how did I wish to be there!
