A new product has been created in Bolesławiec, combining two traditions—craftsmanship and technology. It is a collection of wall and floor tiles prepared by Manufaktura in Bolesławiec together with a major tile manufacturer. This project takes local ceramics into new areas and presents a modern approach to the subject.
The idea for the collection and the design of the patterns came from Magdalena Gazur from Manufaktura in Bolesławiec, who was recognized in the special must have: Lokalność 2026 edition for many years of promoting local heritage and for outstanding projects carried out, among others, with Manufaktura in Bolesławiec and Huta Julia.
Does the COBALT tile collection change the face of Bolesławiec ceramics?
The project’s creators put it plainly: COBALT transfers the way Bolesławiec ceramics are made—rhythm, repetition and work with a stamp—from a single object to architecture as a whole. It is the joint work of two Polish brands that work with ceramics on different scales: tableware and architecture.
Manufaktura brings 35 years of experience in craftsmanship, its own design language and a fresh perspective on the tradition of stamped decoration. The manufacturer is developing this idea on a larger scale, drawing on its experience in technology and its production capabilities.
What is the COBALT collection like?
The COBALT collection consists of two complementary lines. The first refers to familiar motifs from traditional Bolesławiec ceramics, transferring them to tiles. The second, in a larger format, is a contemporary interpretation of stamped decoration based on geometry, rhythm and repetition. Both lines share the same inspiration—Bolesławiec design—and, as a result, offer many arrangement possibilities, from individual accents to large compositions covering entire surfaces.
Where can the collection be seen? The new patterns were presented at the Warsaw Home & Contract trade fair in October 2026. The products are expected to go on sale in 2027.
What does Bolesławiec gain from this?
This is not just another product. Bolesławiec is known as a city of ceramics, but until now its patterns have been associated mainly with tableware. Thanks to this collaboration, Bolesławiec decoration is reaching floors and walls—in homes, offices and public spaces across Poland. This means the city’s brand is reaching new audiences, including architects and interior designers. Local design is gaining a second life, while Bolesławiec is strengthening its position as an important ceramics centre—one that does not remain confined to history but moves with the times.
