Jugendstil tiles restoration project

In Hemiksem (just below Antwerp) on the site of the famous Jugendstil tile factory Ceramiques dÕHemixem Gilliot et Cie, the factory buildings have recently been replaced by apartment complexes. A building with a beautiful tile panel and tile decoration has been preserved. With the exception of the edge above the original tile panel, the Jugendstil tile decoration edge has been replaced by a hundred (10 m2) frost-resistant 30 x 30 cm tiles with the baked-in scan of the 4 original relief tiles. A look-a-like joint has been applied over these tiles.
Due to the possibilities of Tile Bakery’s digital ceramic printing technique, ceramic cultural heritage can be affordably preserved.

Madurodam Restaurant

For the restyling of the restaurant of Madurodam, the design agency Confetti used the traditional Delft blue Dutch tile tradition. Dozens of Dutch modern architecture highlights were 'Delft Blue' and baked by Tile Bakery on hundreds of 10 x 10 and 15 x 15 tiles that you will find everywhere in the restaurant.
Three typical Dutch landscapes with windmills, electricity pylons and the delta works were enlarged by Confetti into a tile of 1 x 1 meter. At the beginning of 2006, more than 17 square meters of Delft blue tile work was installed in the restaurant.
