OER tiles, earthenware tiles coloured with natural iron sludge. Iron sludge is a waste material of the production process of our tap water, which we obtain directly from the tap water pumping building in Eindhoven.
We transform the iron sludge into a pigment by drying, grinding and sieving the material several times. The end result is captured in the OER tile. Available as a series of tiles in different shades of pink.
The tiles are handmade at our studio in Eindhoven. Variations in colour, shade and surface texture are natural characteristics of this product and should be expected.
