For the façade of the new synagogue of the Liberal Jewish Community in Amsterdam, Bjarne Mastebroek of SeARCH architects asked us for a round tile. The tile had to be designed with a highly reflective glaze.
The facades of the building are rendered and the tiles are part of a pattern in the form of stars of David that is draped over the building like a cloak. An inscription in Hebrew appears on the northern façade in smaller tiles. After a short development period we gave the surface of the round tiles a texture and a slightly iridescent glaze. The building has rapidly generated international interest.
