Su.Real: When the Dream Becomes Material
With the Su.Real collection, Carocim opens a new door in the world of cement tiles: the door to the imagination. Far from traditional geometric patterns or classic repetitions, this range, designed by our Creative Studio, invites storytelling and poetry.
Here, the floor becomes a space of freedom. The motifs—an elephant with graceful legs, an open hand, stylized celestial bodies—are treated like fragments of dreams. They allow for the creation of designs that are not mere coverings, but veritable living paintings, tinted throughout with the unique depth of our natural pigments. It is a bold encounter between the legacy of Surrealism and the rigor of our artisanal expertise.
International Recognition in New York
This creative audacity crossed the Atlantic. The Su.Real collection had the immense honor of being a finalist in the prestigious NYCxDesign Awards 2025 , before being officially distinguished as an “Honoree” by the jury.
This international recognition is not simply a reward for a design; it celebrates a unique approach to cement tiles. It validates our ambition: to create a dialogue between the nobility of handcrafted materials and contemporary architectural storytelling. This award encourages us to push our graphic exploration even further, to bring these dreamlike designs to life in your most ambitious projects, both in France and internationally.

Carocim: Cement Tile Manufacturer, from Heritage to Avant-Garde
For over forty years, Maison Carocim has been perpetuating and reinventing the art of the authentic cement tile. Based in Aix-en-Provence, in Cézanne's homeland, we are not simply manufacturers; we are designers of decorative tiles. Our catalog reflects this dual identity: one foot firmly rooted in centuries-old artisanal tradition, and the other resolutely focused on contemporary creation and international design.
Browsing our collections means discovering the infinite richness of a living material, capable of adapting to all architectural styles, from Provençal farmhouses to urban lofts, and including design hotels around the world.
The Carocim Creative Studio: The Soul of the House
At the heart of our approach, the collections designed by our own Creative Studio explore all facets of the motif.
- The Heritage: With the Classics range , we are reissuing the historical designs that defined the golden age of mosaic tiles. From floral interlacing to Art Deco geometries, these models are timeless, elegant, and always in style.
- The Audacity of Colour: With ( RE).visited , we shake up these classics by applying vibrant and unexpected colours (neons, pastels), proving that heritage can be modern.
- Local Roots: The Collection Cézanne chez Lui is a vibrant tribute to our region, deconstructing the forms and lights of Sainte-Victoire.
- Graphic Exploration: From the minimalist purity of Sim.pl to the narrative dreaminess of Su.Real (award-winning in New York), our studio constantly pushes the graphic limits of cement.
- Pure Matter: Finally, our Plain Tile collections celebrate the depth of natural pigments. Deep blues, botanical greens, earthy reds, or architectural neutrals: solid colors are the foundation of all harmony.
Designer Collections: Meetings at the Summit
Carocim is also a place of encounters. We invite the biggest names in design to embrace our expertise. Each collaboration is a unique adventure that gives rise to exclusive designer cement tiles.
- Sensitive Architecture: The Heju duo and designer Margaux Keller (Toumeto collection) bring an architectural and poetic vision, playing with volumes, memory and clean lines to structure the space gently.
- Eclecticism: The iconic Paola Navone offers us her vision of "wabi-sabi" and Mediterranean blue with imperfect and vibrant patterns.
- Poetry: The Petit Pan duo infuses its joie de vivre and sparkling colours, creating joyful and timeless settings.
- Graphic Design: Studio BrichetZiegler and Baptiste Vandaele work with line, volume and modularity for structured and resolutely contemporary floors.
- Art: Personalities like Coco Brun or Aurélia Paoli (Beauregard) blur the lines between art, optics and surface design.
Sustainable Expertise
Regardless of style—historical or avant-garde—the common denominator remains exceptional craftsmanship. Every Carocim tile is handmade. This artisanal production guarantees not only a unique aesthetic, characterized by subtle variations that bring the floor to life, but also exceptional durability. Dyed throughout, our tiles stand the test of time, developing a patina and becoming part of your life.
