Inspired by Wall Tile of the '60s and '70s

December 8, 2025

WOW presents Micare, a collection that revisits glazed ceramics through the honesty of raw material. Inspired by the glassy wall tiles that shaped the interiors of the ’60s and ’70s, Micare draws from the material memory of that era to craft a unique materiality rooted in origin and authenticity. The collection works with the essential elements of the ceramic language -- gloss, relief, modular repetition and chromatic depth -- translating them into a contemporary context through a focus on matter, volume and light. Its palette spans earthy, warm and rich tones, grouped into ranges that move from sandy neutrals to mineral greens and blues, with more spiced accents. The collection uses a richly textured vitreous glaze that incorporates mica -- tiny metallic particles that add a subtle mineral shimmer. It is not a decorative effect but a luminous microstructure that activates each piece and produces quiet optical depth. The 5×15 cm format -- an essential element of WOW’s identity -- enables modular design and the construction of ceramic envelopes with their own rhythm. Repetition, alternating intensities and the introduction of reliefs transform each surface into a graphic plane that evolves with the light.
