Philip Lakeman Tiles Bali, formerly known as Pesamuan Ceramic founded in 1994 by Philip Lakeman & Graham Oldroyd. Philip & Graham collaborated for many years, bringing their skills, technology & design capability to the forefront of modern architecture handmade ceramic tile & hand painted ceramic tile.
Philip being the sole owner of the company since 2012, continues to push the boundaries in both ceramic design & technology.
For over three decades, I have explored the space between art, craft, and design.
My work is driven by curiosity, a love of materials, and the belief that handmade objects carry a character that cannot be replicated by machines. From handcrafted tiles and architectural surfaces to sculptural artworks and furniture, each piece begins as an idea and evolves through experimentation, craftsmanship, and an appreciation for imperfection.
Inspired by cultures, nature, travel, and the stories hidden within everyday objects, I create work that is both functional and expressive. My approach is not about following trends but about creating pieces with authenticity, personality, and a sense of timelessness.
Based in Bali, I continue to collaborate with architects, designers, artists, and private clients who value originality, craftsmanship, and the human touch behind every creation.
I believe good design should spark curiosity, invite conversation, and age beautifully over time.
