MUDTILE | About MUD

Modern

For many years, tiles were relegated to kitchens and bathrooms. With MUDtile, they are being welcomed in all living areas, and have become a decor component for both residential and commercial spaces. This has opened up new architectural perspectives, and that is the real definition of modernity.

Urban

MUDtile perceives the city as a playground that offers up a multitude of possibilities, a cosmopolitan lifestyle, one that is trendy and creative. Does this bring Montreal to mind? Of course it does; this is MUDtile's birthplace. Each collection reflects the artistic effervescence of the city, that little spark of madness that makes Montreal totally irresistible.

Design

MUDtile transforms raw materials – marble, basalt, limestone – bringing them to life by reshaping the veining, the textures and the finishes to produce well-crafted and stylish stone tiles and mosaics that are unique by nature, timeless by nature, and designed by nature.

OUR STORY

Working closely with architects and designers since 2002, MUDtile designs tiles that bring together the strength of stone and the refinement of mosaics. Pure lines, natural colors and shades, as well as geometric elements, all converge to ensure that our collections add charm to living spaces (living rooms, dining rooms, kitchens) and style to functional areas (hotels, restaurants, etc.). Our products can be found in several important institutions including the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, the new hospital in Dubai and the very trendy Loblaw's in Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Three words summarize our purpose: Down to Earth. They translate our attachment to the authenticity of raw materials and our proximity to people when the time comes to create tiles that are both simple and universal.

OUR PRODUCTS

Whether for residential or commercial use, for a contemporary or classical decor, MUDtile is a brilliant alternative to traditional tiles. Our stone tiles and mosaic collections are distributed in Canada & the USA.

FROM THE GROUND UP

Tiles were first and foremost a career for the creative director Catherine Braconnier, one that she learned in Montreal, and then in California. Inspired by a trip in New York City in 2002, Catherine started to design her own line of products that she named MUD.

The Montreal tiles caught the attention of Italian tile manufacturers. MUDtile's first two tile collections were launched internationally in 2006 through Dom Ceramiche. This will be the first of many creative collaborations with some of the world's most renowned designers and architects.

In 2008, MUDtile gravitated towards stone as the core material for its collections. Since then, MUDtile collections have been available in all major US cosmopolitan centres through Stone Source.

Today, MUDtile is still proudly designed in Montreal by a team dedicated to share their passion for Modern, Urban and Design stone tiles.
