Imperial Navy ceramic brick is a deep navy handmade glazed ceramic tile with a rich, saturated colour inspired by indigo pigment, maritime blue and the dramatic depth of old-world glazed ceramics. Bold, elegant and architectural, it brings a powerful decorative presence to the De Ferranti x AAA – Alvaro Afonso Atelier brick collection.

Part of The Blues Bricks Collection, Imperial Navy ceramic brick has been developed through the collaboration between De Ferranti and AAA – Alvaro Afonso Atelier. The collection celebrates handmade glazed ceramic surfaces where colour, texture and craft work together to create depth, movement and individuality.

The elongated brick format intensifies the strength of Imperial Navy ceramic brick, allowing the colour to create striking linear surfaces with rhythm and depth. Its handmade glaze reveals subtle variation, gentle crazing and small irregularities that prevent the colour from feeling flat. In changing light, the surface moves between deep cobalt, navy and almost midnight blue, giving the finished installation a luxurious and tactile quality.

Imperial Navy ceramic brick is particularly suited to spaces that require drama, atmosphere and refinement. Used alone, it creates a strong and enveloping surface. Used as part of a blue tonal scheme, it anchors lighter glazes such as Skywash Blue MK711 and Mistwashed Sky MK703, bringing contrast, weight and sophistication.

This handmade glazed ceramic tile is particularly effective in Bars, Restaurants, Bathrooms, Feature Walls, Fireplace Surrounds, Boutique Hotels, Reception Areas and Hospitality Interiors. It is a confident material choice for projects where colour is intended to shape the mood of the room.

Specifying the Imperial Navy ceramic brick

For specification, compare physical samples under the intended lighting and beside adjoining finishes, as the depth of the glaze can shift across different settings. The elongated proportion may be laid horizontally or vertically, while grout colour and joint width will determine whether the finished surface reads as continuous, graphic or individually articulated.

Additional tones within The Blues Bricks family include Azure Tide, Midnight Delft, Mistwashed Sky and Skywash Blue.

The Imperial Navy ceramic brick can be paired with the related blue brick tones above to create tonal variation, controlled contrast and a more individually composed surface while retaining the measured rhythm of the elongated format.
