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.

Authentic Japanese ceramic tiles for architectural and interior design projects.
Mittsu specialises in tiles made in Japan, selected for their surface depth, natural glaze variation and architectural character.
Unlike mass-produced alternatives, these tiles are not defined by printed patterns. Their colour and texture are created during firing in the kiln, producing subtle variation across the surface once installed.
Choosing a tile
Japanese tiles are typically selected for their material quality rather than a fixed visual pattern.
Variation between tiles is part of the character. Across a wall, this creates depth and movement rather than repetition.
Collections can be explored online, but most projects benefit from reviewing physical samples before final selection.
Samples
Samples allow colour, glaze movement and surface texture to be evaluated under real lighting conditions.
They are ordered directly through product pages using the sample option for each tile.
For professional projects, the Specifier Program provides access to complimentary samples and technical resources.
Availability and supply
Tiles may be supplied from local stock in the UK, Europe or UAE, sourced from Japan, or produced to order depending on the collection and project requirements.
Lead times vary accordingly and should be considered during the design stage where tiles form part of the architectural concept.
Working with Mittsu
Mittsu works directly with architects, interior designers and private clients across residential, hospitality and commercial projects.
Each enquiry is handled with a focus on material selection, availability and suitability for the intended application.
Japanese tiles are specified as materials, not finishes.
