Tile Capsule Welcomes NANDA TILES to Its Curated Collection

In an exciting development for design enthusiasts, Tile Capsule, operated by Bowcs Inc. and headquartered in Kawasaki, Japan, has officially welcomed Spanish brand NANDA TILES to its curated collection. This introduction not only expands the variety of design options available but also highlights the company's commitment to providing innovative solutions for architecture and interior design.

What is Tile Capsule?

Tile Capsule, which debuted in 2023, is designed to showcase a curated selection of tile brands from around the globe. Unlike simply importing a random selection of products, Tile Capsule presents a collection unified by a distinct vision and aesthetic, bringing together the unique qualities and stories of each brand into a cohesive experience. The aim is to introduce these brands' craftsmanship authentically to the Japanese market, respecting their design philosophies and cultural backgrounds.

At present, Tile Capsule features an impressive lineup of brands, including:

• - Sant’Agostino (Italy)
• - MAINZU (Spain)
• - HARMONY (Spain)
• - NATUCER (Spain)

Each of these brands is heralded for their assured quality and unique expressive capabilities, solidifying Tile Capsule’s reputation as a destination for discerning designers.

NANDA TILES: A Fusion of Craft and Technology

Founded in Valencia, Spain, in 2013, NANDA TILES distinguishes itself by melding traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology to create artistic tiles that transform spaces. Their brand mantra, “Tiles beyond extraordinary,” reflects their focus on innovation.

NANDA TILES has received international acclaim in the field of small decorative tiles, employing unique techniques such as aged effects, multiple glaze firing, and high-definition digital printing. Furthermore, their environmentally friendly production system holds ISO certification, making them a trusted partner for various high-profile projects, such as hotels and restaurants.

NANDA TILES Lineup

Here are some standout products from NANDA TILES:

• - AMANTINA: Features a unique wall tile created by overlapping geometric and swirling patterns.
• - ALHAMBRA: A ceramic “carpet” with geometric designs reminiscent of the Alhambra Palace.
• - TERRA: A small-format series (11.5 cm square) showcasing natural color variations and satin finishes.

Impact on the Japanese Market

The incorporation of NANDA TILES into Tile Capsule is not merely an expansion of offerings but rather a pivotal opportunity to introduce the latest Spanish tile trends to the Japanese marketplace. By providing aesthetically pleasing and environmentally responsible tiles, NANDA TILES opens up new possibilities for creating contemporary spaces that marry beauty with practicality, appealing to a broad spectrum of residential and commercial settings.

Insights from the Brand Manager

Kenta Utsumi, the brand manager at Bowcs, shared his thoughts, stating, “Tiles are more than just building materials; they are cultural artifacts that have evolved over centuries. In regions like Europe, tiles remain deeply embedded in cultural and everyday life. However, in modern Japan, rising costs and shifting trends have diminished the familiarity and accessibility of tiles. Our mission is to convey the captivating allure, design capabilities, and spatial influence of tiles, which are universally appreciated. The introduction of NANDA TILES at Tile Capsule aligns perfectly with our goal of merging innovative ideas with quality craftsmanship.”
