Tiles made from lava from world’s oldest active volcano
Under the care of Made a Mano, the humble ceramic tile has become bona fide art. Combining ancient handicraft with modern techniques, Made a Mano reveals a sure sense of style. All their tiles are worked, glazed and decorated entirely by hand, while the terracotta and lavastone they work with is sourced from the oldest active volcano in the world: Sicily’s Mount Etna.
