Malachite Palm Tile

Inside the Carocim workshop, the traditional method survives intact: every Carreau Palmier Malachite is poured by hand, pigment by pigment, into a divider mould tracing the palm design by Coco Brun & Aurélia Paoli, then pressed and cured without firing. Each malachite green and beige cement tile carries the subtle variations that only handwork produces.

Yes, orientation is part of the fun: because the palm segments radiate from the centre of each 20 x 20 cm tile, rotating Carreau Palmier Malachite creates fans, medallions or wave-like sequences. Test your layout dry before fixing, then keep the chosen rhythm consistent. This Carocim cement tile rewards a little planning with a truly personal floor.

Coco Brun & Aurélia Paoli, the duo behind Carreau Palmier Malachite, signed the whole Coco Brun collection at Carocim, which spans several design families, the Palmier series among them alongside kaleidoscope and sun motifs. Their shared graphic language means these cement tiles combine naturally if you want to mix designs across one project.

12 tiles sit in every unopened box, and keeping one is often wiser than returning it: spare cement tiles from your original batch are precious for future repairs, since later runs may vary slightly. For actual returns of Carreau Palmier Malachite, conditions depend on your order terms, so contact Carocim directly to review the options.

Outdoors, most of the work is already done: Carocim systematically applies an anti-UV treatment to its exterior cement tiles, so the malachite green and beige pigments of Carreau Palmier Malachite keep their real colours. Your contribution is simple maintenance: renew the water-repellent sealer periodically, rinse off debris, and clean only with neutral soap, never acid or bleach.
