‘RYBKA 001’ — the first relief by Adam Ankiewicz from the unique ‘Rybka 001’ tile collection.

Dodaj do koszyka

The first relief from the 'Rybka' series, my latest projekt inspired by pre-war Warsaw design. 'Rybka' is my own interpretation of 'gorseciki' - rectangular tiles with a cut-out along the longer edge, popular in the interwar period. The unique shape of each tile means they always fit together, regardless of how they are arranged. The process behind this work took over a year.

Rybka 001

material

 

All the pieces were handcrafted using a proprietary concrete ceramics technique I developed myself. The binder used for each individual Rybka tile is white portland cement, which is characterised by its high strength. Its very high degree of whiteness makes it possible to achieve any colour for the tiles. The pigments used to colour the composite mixture are the highest quality, finely ground oxides of iron, chromium, cobalt and titanium. They are characterised by high colour uniformity and are resistant to weathering and UV radiation. 

An essential component of the composite mass in tile production is micro-aggregate, specially formulated by me from quartz sands with strictly defined physical and chemical parameters. Subjected to a special technological process, they allow for the regulation of the uniformity and porosity of the composite mass. 

When creating the correct composite formula for each tile, fine-grained additives and the latest-generation admixtures are used; thanks to their microscopic structure, these enable the production of a highly durable material with increased resistance to fire, water, chemical agents and abrasion. 

All stages of the technological process are designed and selected individually for each of my works.

 

This is the finished piece after several months of work.
