Case study: kitchen splashback

The London-based interior design practice Day Studio designed their own set of Delft tiles in a recent project to create a kitchen splashback that was both modern and traditional.

There's a nice mix of traditional Delftware subjects, modern topics, and more minimal blank tiles.

I don't think I've seen my husband so excited as when he opened the tiles today! They are truly amazing. The quality, the slight bumpiness, and of course the translation of our silly prompts. All astounding.

In front of me is what appears to be an authentic Delft tile. The surface of the tile is mottled, and painted on to it is a picture of a man. The blue tones blur and fade into the edges. Delicate brush strokes are visible if you peer closely. It looks as though it were made many years ago. Except it wasn’t. It was designed this morning by artificial intelligence and created in a small factory near Stoke-on-Trent, using some of the most advanced printing technology available.

How are our tiles made?

Our tiles are decorated entirely by skilled craftspeople in the UK, in the Staffordshire Potteries, the traditional British home for ceramic manufacturing.

There's a long tradition of innovation in the Potteries; Wedgwood, Spode, and many, many others have pioneered new techniques and designs in the area. We are proud to be part of that tradition.

Our work with our manufacturing partners was even featured on BBC Midlands Today in September 2024.
