Those are tiles produced entirely by hand with cement-based raw materials. Popular in the mid-1800s in Spain, that’s the kind of tile floor which I grew up on, in Barcelona. It’s basically a mix of two different eras, the classic Tile I’ve always seen but with my contemporary letters on it.

The sand we use and almost all the other materials are coming from in some point Mallorca after a few tries… you’re able to see the sand becoming the tile. As an artisan you’re giving form to the essence of this island, wich is this rock, the “Marès” into a tile. An object that will last for hundreds of years.

Thanks to O.Ribeiro for the skills, technology and madness.
