29 May 2026 CW Team

Drawing inspiration from traditional courtyards, verandahs and heritage homes, the collection features terracotta tones, handcrafted motifs and customisable patterns aimed at transforming flooring and surfaces into design elements. The launch reflects growing demand for natural materials that combine visual appeal with cultural relevance.

Speaking on the launch, Rahul Bhugra said, “This collection is an exploration of how tradition can seamlessly integrate into modern lifestyles. We wanted to create surfaces that don’t just occupy space but enhance it — adding depth, warmth, and character. With terracotta at its core, the collection celebrates craftsmanship while offering versatility for contemporary applications.”

Designed for courtyards, balconies, indoor living spaces and hospitality projects, the tiles offer architects and designers flexibility through customisable layouts, patterns and finishes. The handcrafted textures and motifs provide visual depth while maintaining a balanced design language suited to both minimal and decorative environments.

The collection is suitable for indoor and outdoor use, enabling visual continuity across spaces while supporting evolving design preferences centred on natural materials and grounded aesthetics. Antica Ceramica said the range also aligns with sustainable design practices, with terracotta offering durability, long-term performance and aesthetic longevity.

The terracotta tile collection is now available for architects, designers and consumers, with options for customisation, project-based applications and design consultation.
