Wax Porcelain Tile: A Unique, Dynamic Aesthetic, Smooth Feel

Wax porcelain tile captivates with its dynamic aesthetic yet delivers an unexpectedly smooth tactile experience. It was designed to emulate the malleable nature of wax through various manipulations. These methods create beautiful breaks and fractures, followed by solidification at varying intervals, leading to distinctive milky hues.

Spark emerges from a wholly handcrafted process: solid wax pieces are embedded into the freshly poured wax, descending into the liquid, and halting at various depths. This diversity generates an intriguing visual dynamic that engages with the blurred background, forming a graphic composition that is perpetually unique and novel.

Creative Features:

Two Sizes | 24”x48” and 48”x48”
Two Finished | Matte, Soft
Porcelain
Made in Italy

Providing distinction and fluid movement, a sensory exploration is seen and felt, creating a narrative that resonates with the organic essence of raw materials.
