It's hard to believe that handmade tiles, made in Bali, are being exported to countries like - France, Italy, Mexico & the USA to name some. It's also interesting to note that these countries that have their own glorious tile industries are making a beeline o Bali, buying up in quantity, our own unique tiles to export.
Once again Bali features high on the list for producing top quality product, and know that there are thousands of people around the globe that have become so enamored with Made in bali product, just another example of the artisan industry that attracts our growing army of visitors.
Some countries have a massive tile industry where decorative tiles feature prominently as part of their architectural heritage - good examples to note are Morocco & Mexico. And its quite fantastice that overseas people have discovered the wonderful artisan tiles made in Bali, which are definetly unique in design.
It all started when two lovely people got together, Barbara from Holland and Wayan from bali (it was in Holland where both met) After they married, two children came along and what with work & family life they soon began to question their existence "surely there was more to life than this"? Wayan was ready, to go home to Bali and look at oportunities. Fast forward & settled with family, thoughts became apparent "what are we going to do now"? barbara had always admired the lovely decorative tiles she had seen on her travels, so with some research they found a niche in the market, went about acquiring some family land and built a very basic factory along with their own home.
The appropriate machines were made & purchased, the set-up for manufacturing product sorted and quietly they went about developing their chosen business, with the aim to be the best in the business, Sadus tiles was born!
The designs originaly came from the heartland of Java (using traditional Batik designs) and bit by bit many of designs they have developed have become contemporary masterpieces.
The tiles are made with cement in a mould, the color pigments incorporated (dyes imported from Holland) the tiles are then presses by machine, after they are immersed into a water and once the cement is set, they are are dried and polished, ready to use or export.
This is one fascinating artisan business, set up completly from 'scratch' the knowledge & business learnt on the job, by both Wayan and Barbara and over some years, word has spread all around the world about this genuine, creative and now rapidly growing business.
The designs are eye catching, fresh and stylish, naturally
