Product code: ESC-GAUDI
Hexagonal relief outdoor paving based on the tile Antoni Gaudí designed in 1904.
The Gaudí tile is an outdoor paving reissued in 1997 from the original hydraulic mosaic tile that Antoni Gaudí designed in 1904 and Escofet produced. The six-sided outline recalls honeycomb cells, while the bas-relief starfish, ammonite and sargassum seaweed evoke the sinuous forms of the seabed. Barcelona paved the pavements of Passeig de Gràcia with this tile; here the relief is inverted compared with the original to better resist outdoor wear.

Pavements, pedestrian streets, squares and prestige spaces where the paving becomes part of the architectural heritage.
The motifs join up only across several tiles, so the pattern shows best over larger areas.
