Earth Meets Ease: The Quiet Power of Klay

Grounded in Nature: Calm Starts with Klay

Klay’s terracotta products are rich in texture, allowing architects and designers a sensory foundation for creating spaces that ease the nervous system. Rooted in nature, Klay’s range creates a healing atmosphere ideal for supporting neuroaesthetic design in hospitality settings. And the earthy tone of natural terracotta brings a rustic character, immediately making one feel welcome and comfortable in a space.

Shaping Restorative Hospitality with Terracotta

Nestled atop a hill in the heart of Elgin Valley, Spioenkop Wines’ guest house offers a luxurious retreat where contemporary design harmoniously blends with the serenity of the surrounding landscape. With Klay’s Single Pane screen blocks as the backdrop, their outdoor courtyard is the perfect spot to unwind from the hustle and reconnect with nature. This modernised take on an arched detail, designed by Zarah Riley, is an enchanting homage to Roman architecture.

The same terracotta screen blocks are used in a luxurious spa-like shower experience, a wet room blending the perfect level of intimacy and openness, while celebrating the natural terracotta of Klay. And it wouldn’t be a luxury retreat without a tranquil afternoon spent tasting fine wine. Spioenkop’s tasting toom is lined with terracotta wine racks, their clay composition regulating temperature while adding a textured detail that echoes the natural landscape. It’s a subtle yet striking detail that turns wine storage into part of the sensory design, grounding guests and curating a calm environment.
