Format : Hexagonal Tomettes/Tiles
These hexagonal tomettes/tiles, typical of old interiors, are becoming trendy again. Usually made in terracotta, we manufacture these tomettes 100% in stone. A timeless originality.
Our standard size is 15 x 19 cm but we can make them in any format.
Format : Opus in fixed width and random lengths
The name “Opus in bands” is a layout principle with tiles of identical width and random lengths (in contrast to tiles of regular lengths such as format 30 x 50 cm or 50 x 60 cm for example).
The principle is aesthetic in order to avoid joints aligning in the form of a cross on a regular basis. This layout is typical of natural stone floors of Burgundy limestone and this choice is recommended for our floors in aged finishes.
Today, even in contemporary interiors, this layout is increasingly popular.
The layout pattern : this is possible in bands of the same width (fig 2) or a mix of different widths (fig 1).

Formats: Roman Opus
The Opus are assemblies of different slab sizes that are laid out at a precise location and are studied to promote visual irregularity. The more modules there are, the less the repetition of the module is visible.
The Roman Opus is a precise layout pattern of 4 or 8 different formats, all the tiles compose a module (12 or 16 pieces in total according to this module).
We can offer you different modules of Opus: small, medium or very large format (tiles up to 60 x 116 cm).
Format : Cabochons
Cabochon paving is a layout particularly prized in 17th century mansions.
It consists of slabs whose angles, called “pans” are cut to allow the insertion of a tile of a different colour (usually black or golden/yellow).
