RECLAY - Tactile Wallpaper
Modular wall decor from ceramic waste
RECLAY is a modular, handmade ceramic wall decor for hospitality, retail, and residential spaces. It solves the problem of ceramic waste by using dewatered clay/glaze sludge and upcycled decals from the studio, diverting it from landfill. The modular, repairable tiles are fired at high temperatures for long life, and the process includes on-site water reuse, promoting a circular wall finish.
