inspired by extreme environments, vibrant streets, your grandmothers ways of taking care of things, and the latest discovery in the lab. After almost a decade of working in extreme environments with artists, entrepreneurs, activists, engineers, researchers - we wanted to bring our friends and their discoveries (and some of our own) together under the same roof - for you to find favorites you might not know exist.
Most of the photos you'll see are from our own founders project in Barcelona, where we wanted to bring the different materials, designs (and ourselves) to the test >>

transforming industrial waste to artistic tiles
Ignorance is Bliss ceramic tiles are glazed using pigments solely derived from industrial metal waste and by-products. Usually, these metals would be mined and undergo excessive processing. The amount of waste in the glaze is up to 40%, as ceramic glazes are a combination of base transparent glaze and pigments. Drinking water supply and soil remediation industries, which produce thousands of tonnes of residue per year and are the main suppliers of metal waste for Ignorance is Bliss ceramic tiles. The collection of over 20 selected colours is the result of years of extensive research and experimentation. During the production process, each tile is touched by human hands around 9 times, leading to slight irregularities and subtle variations in shades.

PROJECT MANAGER
David is one of the founders of Creative Coatings and has a deep passion for exploring new ways to organize and live more ecologically. In addition to eco-friendly interiors, he is also dedicated to how we can build entire homes and communities sustainably. His garden is a work of art—home to gigantic zucchinis.
Design should be both sustainable and beautiful.
It should support people’s need for healthy environments that maintain comfortable temperatures and clean air, while minimizing impact on nature.
We fulfill these ideals by using durable, sustainable materials that are free from harmful substances.
​
Our passion for aesthetics and environmentally sustainable materials led us, in 2009, from modern craft techniques to an ancient Moroccan plastering method: Tadelakt.
Today, we’re a team of skilled artisans who have created imaginative surfaces in over 300 projects around the world.
