8 Versatile Forms of Hollow Ceramic Artistry

Handcrafted Perforated Clay Tiles Inspired by Eastern Aesthetics

This collection of handcrafted hollow ceramic tiles that blend cultural symbolism with architectural innovation. Fired at high temperatures for strength and safety, each piece is steeped in Eastern heritage and favored by designers for use in partitions, corridor walls, feature facades, and other spatial applications.

Unlike glass, metal, or concrete alternatives, ceramic allows for unique customization in shape and glaze. The handmade process adds a sense of warmth and human touch, while natural glaze variations formed during firing create rich, layered visual effects. Each tile is truly one of a kind.

This collection features eight distinctive forms rooted in classical Eastern aesthetics, each adaptable across interior and exterior design contexts.
