Curved Velvet Tile

Crafts survive by transmission, and the cement tile is a living example: the gestures behind Carreau Courbe Velvet — pigments poured by hand into a divider mould, pressing, slow curing without firing — have been handed from maker to maker, and Carocim carries that inheritance forward. The blue and beige design by studio Heju gives old hands new lines.

Yes — with the design studio Heju, whose minimalist eye shaped the whole collection for Carocim: arches, circles and curves in quiet, modern palettes. Carreau Courbe Velvet is their curve motif in blue and beige, graphic and elegant. This creative partnership is how a centuries-old cement tile technique keeps producing resolutely contemporary designs.

Brand-new, without ambiguity: Carreau Courbe Velvet was designed by studio Heju for Carocim as a contemporary creation of slender curves and organic shapes in blue and beige, not a reissue from historic archives. Only the manufacturing method is inherited — the authentic hand-moulded, pressed cement tile. New drawing, ancient craft: the combination defines this collection.

One systematic anti-UV treatment settles the question: applied by Carocim to its outdoor-rated tiles, it protects the blue and beige pigments of Carreau Courbe Velvet so the colours remain true under strong sunshine. Rated for exterior use, this cement tile then only asks for a maintained pore sealer and neutral-soap cleaning to stay graphic and elegant.

For planning purposes, here are the figures that matter: Carreau Courbe Velvet is a 20 x 20 cm square, 16 mm thick, laid at 25 tiles per square metre and boxed by 12 for 0.48 m² per box. The format is shared across Carocim's Heju collection, so this cement tile combines freely with its Arche and Cercle siblings.
