Working Tile by Max Lamb

What should Tajimi Custom Tiles achieve based on Tajimi’s unique tile manufacturing system? By repeating this question, Max Lamb arrived at the creation of 3D tiles with various shapes. A wide variety of items such as flower vases, low tables, benches, and partitions are created by combining three-dimensional tiles like a puzzle. We carefully selected the materials to bring out the charm of the earth to the fullest, and at the same time, we used a special glaze to bring back the quiet, deep colors found in traditional Japanese tiles. In addition, its voluminous three-dimensional shape is achieved by casting.

Working Tile by Max Lamb

This project, Max showcases what makes Tajimi a unique manufacturing location and what TCT hopes to achieve. He designed a set of modular, 3-dimensional tiles that can create countless shapes, with the resulting objects performing as vases, sofas, tables, benches or partition walls. He used typical clays with characteristic earthy attributes, and special glazes with ambiguous colours harkening to classic Japanes With e tiles. His production method is pressure moulding which allows highly-precise 3-dimensional shapes and patterns.
