Luminos is an extraordinary series of unglazed porcelain tiles, masterfully designed by one of Mittsu’s renowned master ceramicists. This exquisite tile collection embodies the rich heritage of Japanese craftsmanship, seamlessly merging traditional artistry with cutting-edge ceramic technology. The elongated, rectangular tile forms are thoughtfully arranged in staggered, layered compositions, creating a captivating sense of depth and movement. Whether used to adorn striking architectural facades or enhance the elegance of interior spaces, Luminos achieves a balance of timeless sophistication and modern allure.
Each Luminos tile is a celebration of texture, blending smooth, polished surfaces with rugged, tactile finishes that invite both visual and sensory exploration. The interplay of light across the tiles’ surfaces adds an ever-changing dynamism, as soft matte elements contrast with subtle reflective accents. Available in a refined palette of earthy hues—including warm browns, rustic reds, subdued grays, and creamy off-whites—Luminos provides a versatile canvas that enhances natural and contemporary designs alike. Its unglazed finish highlights the authentic, raw beauty of porcelain, offering exceptional durability and low-maintenance care.
A defining feature of Luminos is its classification as a Nano-hydrophilic ceramic, a groundbreaking advancement by INAX. This innovative technology ensures unparalleled stain resistance, making the tiles resilient to dirt, mud, dust, soot, and urban pollutants when installed vertically. The hydrophilic surface interacts with water to naturally rinse away grime, allowing the tiles to retain their pristine appearance with minimal effort. This unique property not only extends the life of the tiles but also makes them a sustainable and practical choice for environmentally conscious architecture.
Luminos transcends functionality to embody the spirit of Japanese design—a harmonious fusion of nature, innovation, and artistry. Crafted with precision by one of Mittsu’s master ceramicists, it redefines architectural elegance while delivering exceptional performance. Whether gracing the exterior of a contemporary structure or becoming the focal point of an interior space, Luminos tiles transform any environment into a masterpiece of enduring beauty and refined sophistication.

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.
