Create your own vibrant oasis with this charming illustrated tile. A lush balcony garden, brimming with life and color, bursts from the elegantly sketched facade of a city building. It’s a beautiful tribute to the joy of cultivating an 'urban jungle' and finding a pocket of nature, no matter where you live. The clever use of selective color makes the verdant scene pop, celebrating the personal sanctuaries we create.

Each tile is a small masterpiece, meticulously hand-baked in the Netherlands. Following a traditional method, a smooth clay ‘butter’ is poured and then fired three separate times at temperatures soaring up to 1250°C. This intensive process ensures the beautiful artwork and its glossy, protective glaze are permanently part of the high-quality ceramic, creating a piece of lasting beauty.

As durable as it is beautiful, this tile is fully resistant to heat, water, and cold.

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.
