The Alesso Indigo Blue 8×8 Matte Porcelain Tile combines artisanal technique with sophisticated simplicity. This tile’s cool blue hue with shade variation is characteristic of Nazari-period ceramics from medieval Andalusia, Spain. Mix and match this tile with others from the Alesso collection to give your installation a custom look. The iconic courtyards of Alhambra served as the inspiration for the Alesso collection. These 8-by-8-inch Moorish-style tiles are offered in four decorative designs and three solid, complementary colorways. They combine the practicality of porcelain with the artistry of an encaustic look. Alesso infuses any space—kitchens, foyers, patios, and more—with a classic look. To make encaustic tile, a carved stamp is pressed into wet clay; pigment is added, giving it the appearance of a handmade inlaid pattern. By printing patterns on porcelain, the same vibrancy can be achieved—and you get the benefits of a durable material (porcelain resists scratches, water, and fading) that’s easy to maintain. Plus, it’s more affordable.
