The Butterfly Tile, crafted by one of Mittsu’s master ceramicists, is a masterpiece of modern design and artisanal expertise. This unique tile combines functionality with artistry, offering a striking architectural feature that transforms any surface into a visual statement. Each tile is meticulously moulded as a single piece, seamlessly integrating the foundational base with the raised, sculptural form. The result is a product that radiates precision and sophistication, reflecting the unparalleled craftsmanship of Mittsu’s artisans.

The design takes inspiration from the graceful elegance of a butterfly in motion. The top section features a distinctive three-dimensional structure that appears to float above the base, creating a dynamic interplay of light and shadow. This floating effect imbues the tile with a sense of weightlessness and refinement, adding an ethereal quality to any space. The bold yet minimalist aesthetic strikes the perfect balance between modern innovation and timeless elegance, making the Butterfly tile a captivating addition to any interior.

More than just visually stunning, the Butterfly tile is built with seamless construction, ensuring durability and a flawless finish. Its meticulously contoured form offers a unique tactile experience while its versatility allows for creative applications, whether as a statement wall, a feature panel, or an artistic installation. The tile’s intricate patterns create a sense of depth and movement, elevating even the simplest of spaces into something extraordinary.

The Butterfly Tile is more than a design element; it is a celebration of craftsmanship and innovation. Perfect for residential and commercial projects alike, it transforms walls into works of art, exuding elegance and sophistication. Whether you’re looking to create a serene atmosphere or a bold visual impact, the Butterfly tile brings your vision to life with unparalleled beauty and finesse.

How to Choose the Right Tile

• Search by name on our website.

• Browse our collections for inspiration.

Box Sizes & Pricing

Since we source tiles from multiple Japanese manufacturers, box sizes varyranging from 0.3m² to 2m². To keep things transparent, each tile page displays:

Price per square meter (for easy comparison).

Price per box (as we only sell full boxes).

For example, our Kaji Border tile costs more per box than Ka-Bu, but it covers 1.8m² per box compared to Ka-Bu’s 1m², making it a lower cost option per square meter.

Stock Availability

We stock our most popular tiles in our Dubai, UK and German warehouses.

Despite our best efforts, demand can sometimes outpace supply, so if a tile is out of stock, feel free to contact us for alternatives or restock timelines.

Pre-Orders (Stock from Japan)

1. Dedicated Sea Freight; Your order is shipped individually as soon as it’s ready.
