Riviera Tiles - "L’Instant suspendu"- Grande composition décorative en céramique composé de 12 carreaux

"The Suspended Moment" is a large decorative ceramic panel to assemble, consisting of 12 tiles (4 × 3), forming a composition of about 45 × 60 cm.

Each collection stems from iconographic research, drawing, and composition work to adapt each motif to the ceramic format and its constraints.

Each tile is then sublimated in our workshop: the pigments integrate into the coating, as opposed to UV printing which deposits ink on the surface. This technique offers an perfectly smooth touch, deep colors, and excellent water resistance.

Inspired by grand Mediterranean décors and Art Nouveau. The organic lines, decorative volutes, and deep shades of blue pay homage to the major currents of decorative arts of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, while offering a contemporary interpretation.

Each tile is individually produced in our workshop in France using a high-definition sublimation process on premium, matte-finish ceramic. The pigments are transferred under high temperature and high pressure to achieve fine detail, deep colors, and excellent durability over time.

Each panel requires around 4 hours of work, from artistic conception to fabrication. This time includes the creation of the décor, color adjustments, file preparation, individual pressing of the 12 tiles, quality control, and final assembly.

Care & maintenance

To preserve the artwork’s quality and its colors’ vibrancy over time, it is recommended to clean the surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive products, solvents, or aggressive detergents that could alter the finish.

This creation is water-resistant and is ideally suited for humid rooms such as kitchens, bathrooms, or covered and protected patios.

For optimal long-term color preservation, avoid prolonged exposure to direct UV rays or harsh weather. This artwork is intended for indoor use or in sheltered outdoor spaces (covered patio, conservatory, protected terrace, etc.).

Authenticity & manufacture

Each panel is made individually in our workshop and may be reproduced within the Riviera Tiles permanent collection.

Because of its artisanal production process and pigment transfer under high temperature, slight variations in hue, saturation, texture, or finish may appear from one piece to another. These characteristics are inherent to the manufacturing process and do not constitute manufacturing defects. They testify to the artisanal nature of each piece and make each panel unique.
