We are going bright, and after decades of stone-like colours at Southern Art, these shock of the new, bright colours have even surprised us. These colours , forceful and fresh, gives life to these delft-style patterns.
II just love the cracks, it contrasts and balance this constant western desire of us to control and perfect things that seems to be imperfect. We shall soon publish photos where tiles like these has been installed, showing their full splendor. Reminding us of our fragility these cracks harmonize in this quasi perfect space that we call home. These handmade arttiles contains a honesty and truthfullness that must be part and soul of every kitchen!
Here is one more and my favorite!
These tiles in floors or above the fireplace will be the talk of the “village”!

This is beautiful! Africa and Europe in one! With these tiles, added to your present collection, you have come full circle. Surely, even with your creativity, there is not much more you can add to your already wonderful collection of tiles. I cannot imagine a space where these colourful beauties will not enrich and bring warmth and happiness to a home. We look forward to some photos after installation which will be soon, I’m sure, because nou doubt these will be what many home ownders have been waiting for.

Ek sal ‘n plek in ons huis kry waar ek hierdie kan insalleer - moet dit hê!

I love your colourful tiles, and the weathered look- but NOT the cracks. cracks are unhygienic- a haven for bacteria. Thats why tiles are used in kitchens and bathrooms- for hygiene. I would happily use these tiles in an outdoor mural, but not inside the home. fantastic that you have moved away from the boring, minimilist neutral look.

Thank you Mary
With our modern grout systems and sealers there are no need to worry about bacteria.
The course and porous grouts of the past has been replaced with extremely fine materials that with additives become impenetrable and sealed.
A crack by definition can be the defect in the product or can be presented by the space between two tiles or a tile and another surface as well. Professional advice and installation in a bathroom, pool, kitchen or outdoors for that matter is and will stay important.
We are fortunate that our clients inspire us constantly to develop new products that will suit their personalized briefs!
