Artisan tile producer Clé is pleased to announce a limited-edition tile collaboration with ILIA, the clean beauty brand, inspired by ILIA’s Overglaze Hydrating Lip Gloss. Featuring five shades drawn from the Overglaze line, the collection marks the first-ever brand collaboration for the artisan tile house and is available now.
The collaboration originated from a shared fascination with glaze as both material and medium. Rooted in a mutual devotion to intentional design, the partnership draws connections between ILIA’s clean, high-performance approach to clean beauty and Clé’s commitment to hand-crafted tile and artisanal surface design. Translating beauty inspiration into ceramic form, the exclusive range celebrates the expressive potential of glazing, ceramics and vibrant color.
ILIA’s Overglaze Hydrating Lip Gloss is known for its luminous, high-shine finish and richly dimensional color — designed to enhance the natural lip while delivering hydration and comfort. These qualities served as the creative foundation for the tile collection, inspiring custom ceramic glazes that reflect light, depth and movement across architectural surfaces.
The Clé x ILIA Collection translates the gloss’s dimensional finish and nuanced palette into handmade tile, creating surfaces that shift subtly with light and placement. Produced in-house by Clé’s ceramicist as a Clé Guild collaboration, each shade reflects the essence of its beauty counterpart while embracing the natural variation inherent to artisanal craftsmanship. The result reinforces Clé’s belief that tile is not merely functional but a powerful design statement.
The collaboration underscores the creative possibilities that emerge when two women-founded, design-driven brands, which share a philosophy that material integrity, finish and thoughtful design are central to creative expression, come together across disciplines — translating beauty into built form and inviting designers to reconsider surface as a medium for expression.
