Riviera Tiles - Figure - 'The Blue Octopus' - Large...

“The Blue Octopus” is a large decorative ceramic panel composed of 12 tiles (4 × 3), forming a composition of about 45 × 60 cm. Inspired by grand Mediterranean décors, Art Nouveau, and Portuguese azulejos, this creation features a majestic octopus surrounded by arabesques and floral motifs. The organic lines, decorative swirls, and deep shades of blue pay homage to the major currents of decorative arts from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, while offering a contemporary interpretation. Each tile is individually crafted in our workshop in France using a high-definition sublimation process on premium matte-finish ceramic. The pigments are transferred at high temperature and under high pressure to achieve a high level of detail, deep colors, and excellent long-term durability. Each panel requires about 4 hours of work, from artistic conception to fabrication. This time includes the creation of the decorative design, color adjustments, file preparation, individual pressing of the 12 tiles, quality control, and final assembly. The tiles are delivered separately and are neither glued nor mounted on a support. Each tile is independent, giving the buyer total freedom to choose their installation method. The work can be: - placed directly on a wall, with or without grout depending on the desired look; - integrated into a splashback or wall décor; - framed; - or fixed to a support of one’s choice. Each tile is carefully protected in an individual pouch before packaging for transport to ensure optimal protection.

Authenticity & manufacture Each panel is manufactured individually in our workshop and may be produced again as part of the Riviera Tiles permanent collection. Because of its artisanal manufacturing process and the pigment transfer at high temperature, slight variations in shade, saturation, texture, or finish may appear from one piece to another. These characteristics are inherent to the fabrication method and are not manufacturing defects. They attest to the artisanal nature of each piece and make every panel unique.
