Tilecito
Tilecito is a Spain-based design practice founded by Celia Piquer, working at the intersection of craft tradition and contemporary fabrication. The studio explores what happens when ceramic thinking is applied to objects beyond ceramics, translating the language of ceramics—soft edges, tactile surfaces, modular repetition, and the way a glaze interacts with light—into contemporary materials and processes. Tilecito began by rethinking the frame: not as something that simply supports, but as an element that leads the design. This approach explores how structure, proportion, and presence can shape an object and its relationship with space. Pieces can function as mirrors or as frames for artwork, images, and objects. Each piece is digitally modeled with careful attention to proportion and detail, then 3D printed and finished by hand in Spain. The work balances playful geometry with clean lines, curved forms, and modular structures, creating objects that feel rooted in craft tradition while remaining distinctly contemporary.
