Modern Provençal Tile

Born of traditional Provençal interiors, the design was reinterpreted by the Carocim studio for the (Re)Visités collection, and blue and white is indeed its emblematic palette — the shades most associated with southern French décors. This cement tile keeps the soul of the South while refining it with a contemporary line, as convincing in a restored farmhouse as in a city flat.

Two mineral pigments, one blue and one white, make up this cement tile — both naturally lightfast. Carocim adds the anti-UV treatment it systematically applies to outdoor tiles, so the Provençal palette holds steady even on a balcony blasted by afternoon sun. Gentle cleaning with pH-neutral soap is all it takes to keep the glow.

Because it is born of a craftsman's gesture rather than an automated line, every Carocim cement tile carries its own imprint: micro-nuances in the blue, vibrations in the white, gently living outlines of the Provençal motif. Those small irregularities are indeed the proof of genuine handwork — the vibrant material quality that separates an artisanal floor from mass-printed tiles.

No heavy regime is required: protect the cement tile with a water- and oil-repellent sealer, wash routinely with pH-neutral soap, and permanently ban acid, bleach and aggressive detergents. An occasional deeper clean with the same gentle soap is enough; these simple habits keep the blue and white décor of Carocim's Provençal Modern glowing for decades.

Laid by the book, it thrives even in hardworking rooms: in a laundry room this Carocim cement tile simply asks for a sound substrate and a carefully applied, well-maintained water- and oil-repellent sealer. Its blue and white Provençal décor turns a purely functional space into a charming one; clean with pH-neutral soap and keep acids and bleach well away.
