The tiled Metro is based on a common European model from the turn of the 20th century. The model was common in the metro stations of Paris and London, and it still appears in some stations 100 years later! Each tile is marked with Gysinge on the back.

The tile is thick and strong and has a vibrant surface because it is made by hand, tile by tile. It is glazed by hand and fired in old kilns. The hand glazing makes the surface vibrant and shimmering. A larger surface tiled with our tile therefore gives the same impression as an old hand-beaten tile oven.
