The partners.
Phototiles works with six European houses — four in Italy, one each in Belgium and Greece — to bring the memorial tradition to families and trade across AU and NZ. Each house is curated by us; nothing white-labelled, nothing anonymous.
Biondan
Treviso, IT · Est. 1956. Bronze frames, vases, candleholders, emblems. The Italian anchor of the catalogue.
Caggiati
Modena, IT · Est. 1947. Bronze ovals, inlaid frames, decorative emblems. Post-war precision.
Mahieu
Antwerp, BE · Est. 1880. Porcelain photo-tile blanks & hand-painted flowers. Oldest house we work with.
Pilla
Verona, IT · Est. 1962. Ecclesiastical bronze — candleholders, crosses, religious emblems. Onboarding through Q3.
Vrohidis
Athens, GR · Est. 1968. Pentelic marble vases & optical crystal blocks. Stone-and-glass craft.
Elle.Pi
Florence, IT · Est. 1972. Decorative bronze — ornamental frames, sculptural emblems. Tuscan ornamental tradition.
Why six houses, not sixty?
We curate. Every house we work with answers a specific need — Biondan for bronze body, Mahieu for porcelain photo work, Caggiati for ornamental ovals. We don't add houses for breadth; we add them when a real trade gap appears and the right partner emerges.
