From industrial waste to timeless aesthetics: The tiles of Agné Kučerenkaitė

Does your interior need a story that goes beyond just color? Meet the collection of handmade tiles by visionary designer Agné Kučerenkaitė. Where the rest of the world sees "industrial waste," Agné sees a palette of beautiful possibilities.

Agné’s project "Ignorance is Bliss"
This collection of tiles is the result of her award-winning project Ignorance is Bliss. Agné transforms metal sludge — a byproduct of drinking water companies and the soil remediation industry — into rich, vibrant pigments. These pigments of iron, manganese, and copper create subtle variations and depth that change with the light. Because the pigments depend on the source of the residual material, every batch is unique. Consequently, no wall is the same, allowing you to create a truly personal interior with these tiles. By reusing this waste and fusing it with ceramics, Agné creates colors that simply cannot be matched with traditional industrial dyes. Each tile is therefore a statement against waste. You are literally bringing a piece of purified earth into your home. Whether you want to create an accent wall in the kitchen or are looking for a bathroom that exudes peace and nature, with Agné Kučerenkaitė tiles, you choose design with a conscience.
