These Ceramic Tiles Bring a Pop of Pastel to the Kitchen

A taste for sweets crosses cultures and geographic boundaries, a sort of universal language of desire and delight. So, it’s only appropriate that delectable pastries were the inspiration for Patisserie, a collection conceived by Bodin Hon and Dilara Kan Hon of Studio Yellowdot. The design duo, based in Hong Kong and Turkey, paid a visit to tile manufacturer Orhan Gorbon’s Istanbul workshop, where they were mesmerized by the production process…and reminded of a pastry kitchen. The playful shapes and pastel hues of donuts, eclairs, and biscuits became innovative dry-pressed ceramic tiles that bring sugary energy to actual kitchens worldwide. The three-dimensional tiles are handmade from pigmented and glazed clay—but look good enough to eat.
