Velvet Circle Tile

Mineral pigments are a strong starting point, and Carocim adds the decisive layer: a systematic anti-UV treatment for outdoor use that protects the pale pink and terracotta of Carreau Cercle Velvet, keeping colours true over the long term. Combined with a maintained pore sealer and neutral-soap care, this cement tile offers the colour stability an outdoor project demands.

One patterned zone is enough to set the tone: lay Carreau Cercle Velvet on a splashback, a fireplace surround or a bathroom floor, then layer rattan, plants, linen and vintage finds around its pale pink and terracotta rounds. The handcrafted character of this Carocim cement tile gives the bohemian look its soul — warm, imperfect, personal.

The U chart exists precisely for that freedom: each zone of the Carreau Cercle Velvet motif can be recoloured with a shade from the Carocim range, replacing the original pale pink and terracotta. The rounded drawing by studio Heju remains untouched. Submit your palette to Carocim for validation, and your customised cement tile joins the artisanal production queue.

Yes to both, in a way: each Carreau Cercle Velvet holds a complete composition of rounded shapes within its 20 x 20 cm, yet laying several together creates a larger rhythm of repeating curves and contrast. One tile decorates; a whole floor choreographs. That double reading is part of this Carocim cement tile's contemporary charm.

Transmission is the very nature of this craft: the cement tile technique — hand-poured pigments, divider mould, press, slow curing without firing — travels from maker to maker, and Carocim keeps that chain alive. Carreau Cercle Velvet is produced today with those inherited gestures, while its pale pink and terracotta design by studio Heju belongs entirely to the present.
