Product Description
Bosco Herringbone is an exclusive handmade encaustic cement tile suitable for walls, floors, indoors, outdoors and wet areas. Our Bosco Herringbone plain tiles are pattern-free and purely coloured: we hand-mix the pigments, hand-pour, and air-cure each piece. The finish is honed only—never brushed—creating a smooth, refined matte sheen. Because they’re handmade, every tile shows natural shade variation. Over time, the surface develops a gentle patina, deepening the colour and character in a way no ceramic tile can replicate.

How It's Made+
At Otto Tiles, the journey of each cement tile begins with contemporary design. We create bold, artistic patterns that fuse heritage with modern expression—designs that tell stories through shape, symmetry, and soul.
Once a design is finalized, our artisans craft the brass mold entirely by hand, heating and bending each strip of brass over an open flame to precisely outline the pattern. This delicate, fiery process requires patience, mastery, and a deep understanding of geometry.
The finished mold becomes the foundation for tile production in our ateliers in Ho Chi Minh and Istanbul , where each tile is poured, layer by layer, using a mixture of white cement, marble powder, and natural pigments. Pressed under a hydraulic press and cured in water—not fired—these tiles emerge with a smooth matte finish, vibrant color depth, and subtle imperfections that mark the human hand behind the work.
Durable, soulful, and rich in character, our cement tiles are a modern homage to craftsmanship. Once dried, each tile boasts a silky matte finish, vibrant color depth, and slight variations that reflect the human touch.
This slow, deliberate process allows us to produce tiles that are not only environmentally friendly but also rich in soul—ideal for spaces that seek timeless character and modern edge.
Product and Sample Orders+
Despite our particular attention to detail and strict packaging standards, we encounter breakage in some deliveries. We recommend ordering at least 15% more tiles than your net area, considering the possible breakages in transportation and the extra tile needs that may occur during installation. Please bear in mind that we do not accept liability for any damage, delay, or reshipment fees incurred in orders you placed without considering these. All sample orders are limited to one per tile. If you exceed the limit, your extra sample orders might be canceled and refunded. Trade account holders, architects, designers, and other professionals who need more than one samples per tile can email us at info@ottotiles.co.uk to request more samples.
As with all of the samples and displays in our showrooms, any individual samples and displays are for guide purposes only and should not be taken as an exact representation of a subsequent order. Each kiln firing process creates a meaningful degree of colour variation in the product. Since they are handmade on demand and there is a time between sampling and purchase we can not guarantee that you will be able to purchase from the same kiln batch as the sample. This means the order colour may vary from that of the sample.
