Our tiles

We sell custom Delft tiles that are 100% AI-generated, bringing together modern technology, the creativity of our users, and the rich visual heritage of Delftware tiles.

We work with a skilled team to make our tiles real, physical, and durable objects that you can install anywhere in your home, whether that's a kitchen splashback, a shower, or anything else that needs a touch of color and style.

The tiles are fired at more than 1000° Celsius, which makes them durable with strong, long-lasting colors. They are easy to clean, and they are resistant to heat and moisture.

We print on a white base tile of 132x132 mm. Each tile is made to order and costs £9.99 each, with a minimum order of 10 tiles, either of the same or different designs.

“From conception to delivery, I was delighted at every moment by how the potential actualised in unexpected ways. Creating became a social experience as ideas were thrown into the ring to test the AI. The ten prompts allowed us to develop our ideas by adding ever more layers of description. Once - quickly - they arrived, we were impressed by the authenticity of finish, depth of detailing and robustness of the tiles”

- Oskar, London

“I prompted the ‘Not Quite Past’ design engine to produce an image based on a short story I wrote when I was 6 years old. My mother kept the original scrap of paper with the 4 line story – complete with a drawing – of a giant red spider from Mars attacking the Earth.

The resulting image was stunning. It brought the story, and the memory of it, to life. It was quite emotional to see this vivid image, which captures a story that my late mother kept, and which I’ve carried with me as a memory, for almost 60 years. What a marvellous use of technology!

The tile sits in my study and is a joy whenever I catch a glimpse of it.

Delivery was extremely prompt. The finish on the tiles were superb.

I have put another order in for a selection of Joan Miró-inspired tiles. I cannot wait to see what those look like. I plan to make a tile mural of these, gluing them to a piece of wood and hanging them in my grandson’s nursery.

I had some queries about including lettering in the tiles of my grandson’s name, and the team provided impressive support to make this a reality.

Highly recommended to all!

Made in the UK.

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're proud to be part of that tradition and bring AI's spin on it.

Five steps from idea to wall.
Step 1: You design and choose your tiles.

Create your own tile with a prompt and our carefully crafted AI model or pick one of 1500+ designs already generated.

Step 2: We transfer your design to a tile and let it dry.

We use a transfer technique to apply your design to a tile. The tile is then left to dry to make sure the design is secure and any water has evaporated.

Step 3: We fire your tiles.

The tile is then fired at a high temperature in a kiln. This process softens the top layer of the tile, allowing the design to sink in and become permanent. This is what makes the design of the tile so resilient.

Step 4: We ship your tiles to you.

Once the tile has cooled, we package it up and send it to you. We take great care to make sure your tile arrives in perfect condition.
