Carocim Designers: The Alliance of Artisanal Know-How and Contemporary Creation

Maison Carocim defines itself not only as a historic manufacturer, but as a true publisher of decorative tiles. For over four decades, we have opened the doors of our workshops to the biggest names in international design. This page is dedicated to these exceptional collaborations: discover the Carocim designers who, collection after collection, reinvent the art of the mosaic tile.

Our approach is unique. We invite leading designers to embrace our centuries-old cement tile technique. Often, these designers are also architects, and they all share a deep appreciation for craftsmanship and a respect for traditional techniques. The challenge? To translate their singular vision into the velvety, mineral texture of cement. The result is a gallery of designer cement tiles where each signature brings a fresh perspective, challenging traditional norms to firmly establish this heritage material in the modern age.

Carocim Publisher: A curatorial vision of the cement tile

Choosing a floor designed by one of our partner designers means bringing a work of art into your home. It means opting for a piece with a history, an artistic origin, and a rare quality.

We select our partners for their boldness and sensitivity to the subject matter. Whether it's the global eclecticism ofPaola Navone, playful poetry ofLittle Pan, or the geometric rhythm of theStudio BrichetZieglerEach collaboration is a human and technical adventure. Our artisans work hand in hand with these creators to push the boundaries of what is "possible," adapting brass dividers and natural pigments to serve the design.

As a publisher, our role is to bridge the gap between the heritage of the past and the trends of tomorrow. These exclusive collections demonstrate the vitality of French and international design, proving that cement tiles are a medium of artistic expression in their own right, just like ceramics or textiles.
