T-Brick has another sibling in T-Box. The concept is simple - four of the most popular T-Brick colors are now available in a 5x5 square. As always with Sartoria, this is a line that is about intricate details that highlight the richness of traditional ceramic techniques, and they chose 5 x 5 for the square version because it harkens back to the historical zellije size. The colors have exquisite variation and the clay body provides an authentic handmade feel. Like the hand-crafted, traditional Moroccan tile that inspired this look, the bisque has an uneven surface texture with irregular edges and intentional imperfections. All colors have variation, but some colors have more dramatic movement than others. It is important to blend well during installation to get the intended final look.

Vibes comes in four glossy colors that have subtle shade variation which is enhanced by the way the glazed naturally pool around the edges. The series centers around the Peak version which is a structured tile with a simple pillow shape, and it also has a standard flat tile in the same 4 colors. The pillow allows customers to create a 3D design that looks stunning on its own, but it’s also fun to play with using the two versions together.

The 6 x 6 wall tile offers a handcrafted look reminiscent of the “zellijes” tiles made by hand in Morocco. While all the colors have shade variation, some have more movement than others. All the colors are made on a bisque with an uneven surface structure and irregular edges that are slightly chiseled. These characteristics are intentional and add to the hand-made appearance.

Sartoria, following on their success with T-Square, introduces T-Brick. It is based on the same concept, drawing on the beauty of traditional Moroccan “Zelijes” tile, but in a rectangular format. To replicate the hand-crafted feel, the bisque has an uneven surface structure with irregular edges and intentional imperfections. The look is completed by using rich glazes to create eight colors that are both complex and nuanced. All colors have variation, but some colors have more dramatic movement than others. The 2 x 6 size gives this line a decorative element, making it a good option for creating a spectacular accent, as well as doing large areas. It is important to blend well during installation, to get the intended final look.

With Materici, Sartoria is reclaiming the authentic beauty of traditional ceramic craftsmanship. The color palette and graphic details (shading around the edges, spit out marks and variation) along with the deliberate surface imperfections, harken back to ceramic techniques of the past and bring them into the present day. The rich glazes and color palette of new neutrals, a deep forest green and a mineral blue, all seem natural and add to the earthy feel of Materici. This is the kind of product that has staying power because, rather than following a popular but momentary trend, it is a celebration of the art of ceramic tile and that never goes out of style.

The Alaska series is an 8x24 wall tile with an intensely handcrafted look and feel. The palette is all about shades of white (glossy white, matte white, off-white and light grey) allowing the size and surface structure to become the focus. Please note that the Alaska is not completely flat, and the edges have rustic details which means they are uneven rather than level. This is intentional and adds to the handcrafted look. It also requires special attention during installation.

Tropical is a series with two distinct parts. The 2 x 10 Porcelain Wall is glossy; its surface has gentle undulations, soft shade variation and movement, and deliberate irregularities like uneven glazing along the edges which give it a hand-crafted appearance. The 8-1/2” Hexagon offers another aesthetic from the ceramic tradition. It has a matte finish with a slightly uneven surface and some graphic movement. The two options can be used together as a coordinated wall and floor combo, or they can be used on their own, or even paired with many other products.

The Stow series is a wall tile characterized by deep, vibrant colors and plenty of variation on an artisan clay body. Natucer creates a bisque that truly looks handmade by using 14 different molds. The uneven surface and irregular edges — including occasional small chips, clipped corners and glaze irregularities — are intentionally included to achieve an authentic hand-crafted effect. Each of the 4 Mix colors include light and dark pieces mixed together and packed as a single item. The resulting variation combined with the 4x4 size create a dramatic and exciting impact that is reminiscent of the hand-painted zellige tile tradition..

Windermere combines a gently undulated surface with exquisite glazes to create a final look that is opulent and full of depth. The 2 Whites - Glacier (Glossy) and Chalk (Matte) - are opaque and allow the surface structure to take center stage, creating a look that is more interesting than a flat white tile. The other 6 colors have translucent glazes that create variation as they pool on the surface and vary in shade from piece to piece. In addition to the 3x9 size, there is the Diamondback Mosaic made from oblong hexagonal pieces with a three dimensional surface; each piece has an off-centered point that creates lines and shading as the translucent glazes pool on the surface. The pieces are then mounted randomly to create the distinctive Diamondback pattern. They make a stunning accent but are even more exciting if used in entire areas..

Acuarela combines a gently undulating surface with exquisitely beautiful glazes. The opaque Cloud color takes advantage of the undulation adding a textural element that makes it stand out from other white wall tile. The translucent glazes of the other colors create movement on each piece and variation from piece to piece. The carefully designed structure allows the glazes to pool which creates movement and accentuates their beauty. The final look is like a handmade tile, yet the straight edges allow for a smaller grout joint and easier installation.
