In a world of information overload, this tile celebrates the quiet triumph of taking one's time. A reader enjoys a leisurely coffee on a luxurious vintage sofa, perched humorously atop a towering stack of newspapers. This surreal and charming scene is a perfect ode to the joy of unplugging and catching up at your own pace.

Honoring a rich heritage of Dutch artisanship, every tile is authentically hand-baked in the Netherlands. The journey from smooth clay to finished art involves a time-honored, three-stage firing process at temperatures soaring up to 1250°C. This meticulous technique ensures the vibrant artwork and lustrous glaze become one with the high-quality ceramic, creating a piece of lasting quality and charm.

This tile is crafted to be a lasting piece of art for your home. Its durable, high-quality finish is resistant to heat, water, and cold, making it a perfect decorative accent. Display it on a wall to bring a touch of wit to your kitchen, use it to add personality to a home office, or group it with other tiles to create a unique gallery feature.

STORY

While studying at the Amsterdam School of Arts, Marga van Oers saw a need for unique, accessible art. Her vision for Storytiles truly solidified with a gift from her grandmother: a box of centuries-old Dutch Delftware. These antique tiles, with their charming cracks and storied pasts, became the perfect canvas for her own narrative art.

Marga breathes new life into historic ceramics, creating small tiles that tell a story. While her work is often positive, her most poignant pieces carry deep personal meaning. The ‘Forever’ tile was born from the loss of her mother, depicting a bird looking at a golden star. The design holds a specific meaning for her, yet offers universal comfort and interpretation.

Today, Marga creates from her new farmhouse studio, balancing her growing business with family life. Each Storytile remains a miniature world blending history, imagination, and heartfelt emotion. It is this ability to capture entire stories within a single, beautiful object that makes her work so incredibly special and cherished.
