Crescent Border Tile – Japanese Craftsmanship Perfected
A sample is 2 tiles
The Crescent Border tile by INAX is a stunning example of Japanese ceramic artistry, crafted from unglazed porcelain with a design inspired by the crescent moon. This three-dimensional tile captures the timeless elegance of nature, celebrating the interplay of light and shadow across its curved, radial surface. Its ability to shift in appearance as light moves throughout the day makes it a captivating choice for enhancing interiors and exteriors alike.
Each Crescent Border tile reflects exceptional craftsmanship and innovative design. Its intricate curvature creates depth and dimension, turning walls into living works of art. The matte finish enhances its natural texture, offering a sophisticated, understated aesthetic that complements both minimalist and modern architectural styles. Made from durable unglazed porcelain, the tiles are built to last while delivering timeless visual appeal.
Designed for versatility, Crescent Border is ideal for creating feature walls in living rooms, lobbies, and bathrooms or accentuating vertical spaces in both residential and commercial environments. Its sculptural profile interacts beautifully with natural or artificial lighting, creating dynamic patterns that bring walls to life. The timeless elegance of its crescent-inspired design ensures it complements diverse design styles while standing out as a unique statement piece.
More than just a tile, Crescent Border is a fusion of art and functionality, rooted in the serene curves of the crescent moon. Its connection to nature evokes a sense of calm while its innovative design transforms any space into an architectural masterpiece. For those seeking a balance of tradition, modernity, and lasting beauty, Crescent Border offers a refined solution to elevate any environment.

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.
