Notes: Designer Nobuyoshi Yukihira created this Shikkui ceramic building material called Limix. It is technical material that is 5x harder than marble.
Shikkui Marble (ライミックス Limix) is a revolutionary and unique technology recently developed at Tagawa Sangyo. Unlike ceramic tiles, the Shikkui Marble tiles are manufactured without a baking process, resulting in considerably lower both energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions. At the same time, the Limix tiles, being made and hardened under high pressure in a vacuum, are equally as hard as marble and have a wide scope of application, especially in floor and wall design.
