Blēo, from the Old English for “colour, hue, complexion,” is a design-led surface brand founded in Copenhagen in 2024. We work with leading architects, designers, and artists to create architectural colours across paints and tiles, exploring the relationship between tone, texture, and light.
Now launching
Tiles by Sabine Marcelis
Choosing colour and material can be overwhelming. Blēo simplifies the process with surfaces developed in close collaboration with leading creatives in architecture, design, and art — people who work with colour and material every day.
Our first MINERALS collaboration is created with John Pawson, translating thirteen tones from his Whitescale palette into natural, breathable mineral paints. The colours settle into a matte, tactile surface shaped by Pawson’s focus on reduction, clarity and light.
Tiles by Muller Van Severen is a contemporary interpretation of the Moroccan Zellige tradition — a tactile exploration of colour, material, and craft, handmade in Morocco.
