Africotta was born from a love for Africa’s natural beauty, earthy colours, and the kind of design that never really goes out of style.
What started with a passion for beautiful, authentic materials has grown into a collection of handmade cement tiles that bring something different to homes and spaces across South Africa.
We love the little details that make a space feel special. The warmth of a natural colour, the texture of a handmade surface, or the way a simple tile can completely change the feel of a room.
To us, tiles aren’t just something you put on a floor or wall. They’re part of what makes a space feel like yours.
There’s something special about a product that’s made by hand, and it’s something we’re proud to be part of.
Every Africotta tile is carefully made using cement and natural, earthy pigments. Our hands-on process means each tile has its own little differences in colour, texture, and finish.
And that’s the beauty of it. No two tiles are exactly alike, so every installation has a character of its own.
We also love how much you can do with a simple tile. Change the colour, play around with the layout, or mix different shapes, and you can create a completely different look.
It’s all about giving you the freedom to make something that feels right for your space.
You don’t have to look far to find beautiful colours in Africa. They’re everywhere, from warm terracotta earth and sandy landscapes to natural stone and soft green tones.
These colours are a big part of what inspires our collection.
With shades like Terracotta, Sandstone, Limpopo, Charcoal, African Ash, and more, our tiles bring a little of that natural beauty into everyday spaces.
Some colours are warm and inviting, while others are bold, earthy, or beautifully understated. And when you start playing with different shapes and patterns, the possibilities really open up.
Whether your style is modern, rustic, traditional, or somewhere in between, there’s always a way to make it your own.
We believe beautiful tiles shouldn’t only be something you admire in a magazine. They should be part of the spaces you use and enjoy every day.
From busy family kitchens and bathrooms to sunny patios, cosy fireplaces, and eye-catching feature walls, Africotta tiles can bring something special to just about any space.
Our range includes everything from classic Squares and Subways to Klompies, Stars & Crosses, and other interesting shapes.
And sometimes, it’s not even about choosing a different tile. Simply changing the layout can give the same tile a whole new look.
Whether you’re tiling an entire floor or adding a small feature, it’s often those thoughtful details that make a space stand out.

Our mission is to make beautiful, handmade tiles more accessible while keeping the character that makes them so special.
We don’t believe every tile needs to look exactly the same. In fact, we think those little differences are what make handmade products worth choosing.
We want to give people more freedom to get creative, whether that means choosing an unexpected colour, trying a different layout, or keeping things beautifully simple.
Most importantly, we want to help create spaces that feel welcoming, personal, and full of character.
Because at the end of the day, good design isn’t just about how something looks. It’s about how it makes you feel.
Have a project in mind? We’d love to hear about it.
Whether you’re planning a new kitchen, updating your bathroom, designing a patio, or simply looking for something a little different, we’re here to help you explore the possibilities.
