Bespoke Beauty - One Tile at a Time
At Pastiche, we’re drawn to materials with depth, character, and subtle storytelling and Japanese tiles from Tajimi have all of that. Handmade in a region celebrated for its ceramic tradition, these tiles carry warmth, texture, and quiet elegance.
Tajimi’s kilns have long produced pieces admired for their durability and understated beauty, so respected, in fact, that luxury houses like Céline, Hermès, and Loewe have collaborated with local artisans for striking in-store installations. That same level of craftsmanship is now accessible to architects and designers seeking something truly exceptional.
Beyond standard collections, custom tile options open the door to exploring colour, texture, and form in a completely collaborative way: concept consultation, material selection, prototyping, and final production, each stage carried out with thought and care.
Pink has a way of softening architecture while still carrying strength. At Loewe, rectangular tiles line the walls in a rhythm of blushes and rose tones. Each tile is shaded differently, some deeper, some barely there, so when placed together, they create a delicate play of light and colour. It’s not uniformity, but harmony through variation.

Hermès took pink in another direction with a bespoke large-format concave tile.. Here, scale becomes the luxury, broad planes of colour with subtle shifts in glaze that feel almost painterly. The effect is bold yet understated, like a single brushstroke stretched across an entire wall.
Both speak to the artistry of Tajimi’s ceramic tradition: pink not as a trend, but as a language of texture, depth, and atmosphere.
The right tile does more than finish a space; it shapes it. Whether standard or custom, these handcrafted ceramics are built to endure and made to be quietly admired.
