The Artist
Ayse
Has designed two custom tile lines for Clay Imports. The timeless Geometric Series and the vibrant Valladolid Series have become top sellers highlighting her ability to create work that are both unique and accessible. Her latest line was inspired by the ice cream shops she visited as a kid growing up in Izmir, Turkey. Each shop was magical not only for the unique flavors but because there was something about the tiles on the walls. Something that made these little shops special. They were all called Patisserie.
Patisserie Series
Patisserie by AyseDesign distills the elegance and vibe of the 1970’s art nouveau scene into a 3-part line of new tile designs.
Reminiscent of the street cafés and cocktail lounges of Paris in the ’70s, Patisserie’s simple elegance elevates the design of any space. It adds texture without being busy. And it is very versatile. Take the Bonjour Pattern. Simple vertical and horizontal pieces let you widen or elongate the design to fit any application, whether that’s a bathroom backsplash, fireplace surround, or an entire bar.
Patisserie has the power to transform. That’s why we love what we make at Clay Imports. This level of design can turn routines into rituals. Put ‘Pio Pio’ in your breakfast nook and morning coffee becomes espresso at the café. “Bonjour’ will transform your living room into a cocktail lounge or give yourself a mood bump in the bathroom every time you get ready for the night.
