clé blue tiles

in the vast spectrum of colors, one shade continues to capture our attention — blue. in addition to being the focal center in our maiolica de delft tile, blue has shaped (and reshaped) the cultural landscape for centuries. its presence has been felt in everything from art, design, and fashion to language, class, status, and even religious iconography. is it any wonder, then, that blue is consistently found to be the most loved color in the world?

classic maiolica de delft: blue and white tile

one of our longest-running obsessions is with blue and white tile, a color pairing that exists in decorative traditions across the world and throughout time, creating a veritable lingua franca of design: think blue and white chinese porcelain, italian maiolica, french faience, and of course, dutch delft. classic and timeless, it transcends trend and is forever evolving.
