Mini Kayoborder White Matt 12.5x98 (297x297MM)

Japanese Collection

Elegant, linear, and deeply rooted in Japanese tradition, Kayoborder 12.5 x 98mm is a refined finger mosaic format within the Japanese Collection by Nagoya Mosaic-Tile Co. Inspired by the ceramics traditionally used in Sado (the Japanese tea ceremony), Kayoborder reflects a philosophy of balance, restraint, and appreciation for natural imperfection.

Handcrafted in Japan by skilled artisans, each tile is produced using traditional ceramic techniques that result in organic texture, natural colour movement, subtle speckling, and gentle dimensional variation. These characteristics are not flaws, but essential elements of the design language, ensuring no two pieces are ever exactly the same.

The elongated 12.5 x 98mm format creates beautiful rhythm and direction when installed, making Kayoborder ideal for splashbacks, feature walls, vanity fronts, and architectural accents. Whether laid vertically or horizontally, the slim profile adds depth and tactility while maintaining a calm, considered aesthetic.

Sustainability is thoughtfully integrated into the range, with 48.5% recycled materials used in production, aligning craftsmanship with contemporary environmental responsibility.
