Design that begins with waste — and ends with purpose.

At KIGAE:WORKS, plastic waste is sorted and reformed into durable plastic terrazzo tiles. What was once overlooked becomes a surface built to last.

The Story Behind the Name

Kigae

/ki-gah-eh/

KIGAE is a Kiswahili word meaning tile. It reflects our material reality — small, broken pieces brought together to create something new.

WORKS refers to a place of making — where experimentation, craft, and manufacturing meet.

Thoughtfully Designed. Built to Last.

KIGAE:WORKS tiles are designed for versatility and durability. Suitable for walls, floors, counters, and feature surfaces across residential and commercial spaces.

Material & Performance Benefits

Designed for Everyday Use

100% Waterproof

KIGAE tiles don't soak up liquids. This keeps your floors and walls dry, prevents mold, and stops bad smells — perfect for kitchens and bathrooms.

Unmatched Durability

Our tiles are built to be tough. They won't crack or shatter under pressure, making them the best choice for busy offices, hotels, and restaurants.

Effortless Cleaning

Spills like coffee or oil wipe right off. You won't need special chemicals or expensive sealants to keep your tiles looking new.

Lightweight & Flexible

Because they are lighter than stone, our tiles are easy to install.
