about the project:
3 artists, 149 colours, 9000 ceramic tiles.
The extraordinary diamond-shaped tiles were produced according to the design of three renowned artists. The challenge was not only in the shape, but especially in the glaze development.
In numerous iterations, over 149 colours were ceramically sampled and matched to the source material. Parallel to the ceramic decoration development and lithography, the creation of the different tile shapes took place. Some rhombs were given semicircles of varying depths.
Following the detailed development work in form and decor, the realisation began in the ceramic manufactory. Each individual shaped tile was made by hand and decorated by hand. The subsequent attachment to the walls was also taken into account.
The result is four impressive ceramic art installations.
