Nyuma – Concrete-Inspired Porcelain Tile Collection
The Nyuma Collection by Mirage reimagines the raw, honest beauty of classic cast concrete. Inspired by formwork details and chiaroscuro contrasts, it delivers sophisticated, contemporary surfaces with subtle shading and natural texture.
A new interpretation of classic concrete

-
It reproduces the gentle variations and formwork patterns typical of cast-in-place concrete without exaggerating flaws.
-
Subtle chiaroscuro effects create depth and movement, adding architectural interest.
-
Mirage’s design approach emphasizes understated elegance that suits both minimalist and industrial-inspired spaces.
Moreover, Nyuma balances authenticity with refinement, making it suitable for diverse design contexts.
A versatile color palette
Nyuma features six carefully curated colors:
-
Quicklime: Light, neutral tones for bright, open spaces.
-
Portland: Classic cement grey with modern appeal.
-
