Artile mural is dish of the day at Bangkok-style cafe

The stunning result adds a key ingredient of authenticity to this modern day, Bangkok-style café, and is a real talking point amongst diners as much as the exotic dishes served daily.

The illustrated mural was a key feature of the café, so we created the custom tiles using an original piece of Japanese tableware. We were able to colour-match the jewel red tones and reproduce its intricate design, but when it came to replicating the plate’s real gold embellishment, this was substituted on the tiles with gold-coloured mica print to improve the mural’s scratch-resistant properties and maintain cost control for the project.

With a design inspired by a Japanese plate, this striking red and gold feature wall at the Naamyaa Café in Islington was created by Johnson Tiles’ bespoke Artile service.
