Kayo Square Japanese Mosaic Tiles

Rooted in centuries-old Japanese ceramic tradition, the Kayo collection by Nagoya Mosaic-Tile Co is inspired by the refined aesthetics of Sado (the Japanese tea ceremony). This philosophy values imperfection, balance, and quiet beauty—qualities that are deeply embedded in every Kayo tile.

Manufactured in Japan using traditional artisanal techniques, Kayo mosaics showcase natural colour movement, organic surface texture, gentle speckling, and subtle dimensional variation. No two pieces are ever identical, creating richly layered surfaces that feel authentic, calm, and deeply tactile.

The small-scale 22.5 x 22.5mm square format allows for intricate detailing and seamless flow across walls, splashbacks, showers, and feature areas. Whether used expansively or as a refined accent, Kayo brings warmth, depth, and timeless character to both residential and commercial interiors.

Sustainability is also part of the story—Kayo tiles are produced using 48.5% recycled materials, and matching edge and corner pieces are available in all colours for a considered, design-led finish.
