Déscription du carreau Diamond the Snake

The Snake is part of the SU.Real collection, designed by Marta Pignol for Carocim®, from the "Animals" picture book.

In Surrealism, the snake is an ambivalent symbol, at once instinctive, enigmatic, and transformative. It embodies the deep forces of the unconscious, molting, desire, but also fear and the unknown.

Each tile is handcrafted using a demanding artisanal method. Composed of cement, sand, marble powder, and natural pigments, it is made without firing, using minimal water. Its texture and any slight irregularities reveal the artisan's touch and enhance its uniqueness.

Produits associés au carreau Diamond the Snake

Does the design of Carreau le Serpent form an overall pattern once the tiles are put together?

No, each Serpent cement tile carries its own complete motif — a winding snake in blue, purple and beige — with no drawn continuity from one piece to the next. Rather than reviving a Provençal tradition, this Carocim design, assembled side by side, forms a mosaic of individual motifs with a hypnotic, symbolic effect.

Does Carreau le Serpent come in several sizes?

The Serpent comes in a square 20 x 20 cm format, 16 mm thick, matching the rest of Carocim's SU.Real collection. No alternative size is listed for this reference: this cement tile is only available in that one standard format.

Outdoors, does Carreau le Serpent keep the intensity of its colours?

At €245.70/m², this UV-treated cement tile — the Serpent — benefits from the systematic treatment Carocim applies to every reference rated for outdoor use. Its blue, purple and beige tones hold their intensity under prolonged sun exposure, so morning-only sun and all-day exposure are both well within what the treatment is designed to withstand.

Is the collection of Carreau le Serpent still in production today?

The Serpent, a cement tile from the SU.Real collection created by Marta Pignol for Carocim, explores animal and figurative motifs in a Pop and Surrealist style. This is a contemporary collection currently available from Carocim, alongside other motifs such as the Papillon or the Poisson, rather than one rooted in Provençal tradition.

Is white vinegar harmful to Carreau le Serpent?

Yes, white vinegar should be avoided on this cement tile: its acidity attacks the surface and can permanently dull the blue, purple and beige of the Serpent's motif. Carocim recommends a pH-neutral soap and a simple clear-water rinse as the routine that keeps the tile looking its best for years.
