Our koi fish ceramic tiles are handcrafted textured wall tiles inspired by water, movement, and a sense of freedom. Designed as a sculptural surface, this collection brings a quiet rhythm into interiors, where pattern flows, light shifts, and each tile contributes to a larger, living composition.
Textured Ceramic Surface & Movement
The design features koi fish moving through a series of circular forms, creating a textured ceramic surface that feels continuous and gently in motion. The interplay between fish and form evokes the natural rhythm of water, allowing the surface to feel alive rather than static.
As light moves across the tiles, the raised detailing casts soft shadows, enhancing depth and giving the wall a subtle, ever-changing presence.
Design Composition & Flow
The In My Soul I Am Free collection is composed of three circular tile designs, connected by a joining piece that allows the pattern to move seamlessly across the surface.
This modular system creates a flowing composition of koi and lily pad-like forms, shifting depending on how the tiles are arranged. No two installations are exactly the same, each layout becomes a unique expression of movement and balance.
These handmade ceramic tiles are designed to be both structured and organic, offering flexibility while maintaining a cohesive visual language.

Finishes & Colour Palette
The tiles can be finished in a single glaze or developed through a combination of tones — most often in soft off-whites and warm terracotta.
A mixed palette enhances the depth and movement of the pattern, allowing the koi and circular forms to stand out more distinctly. A single-colour finish offers a quieter, more unified surface, where texture becomes the primary focus.
Each tile is handmade in South Africa, using natural clay and a considered glazing process, resulting in subtle variations that add to the character of the installation.
Craftsmanship & Material Integrity
Every tile is crafted by hand, honouring a slower, more intentional process. The result is a collection of textured ceramic tiles that carry both material integrity and artistic expression.
Rather than a printed or flat surface, these tiles are sculptural — designed to be experienced through touch, light, and space.
