Sola Tile | Leaf Veins | Made in Kyoto

Nature reduced to its most essential, most beautiful form – this extraordinary Leaf Veins Sola Tile, made in Kyoto, Japan, preserves only the intricate vein structure of a real leaf in crystal-clear resin, creating a hauntingly beautiful, translucent tile that reveals the hidden architecture of the natural world.

The Specimen

The Sola Tile is a remarkable evolution of the Sola Cube concept – a flat, tile-format resin display that preserves botanical specimens in a new dimension. This Sola Tile contains the skeletal vein structure of a real leaf – every other part of the leaf has been carefully removed, leaving only the extraordinary network of veins that once carried nutrients and water to every corner of the leaf. Hold it up to the light and the veins glow with an almost ethereal translucency – revealing the sky, the clouds, or the colours of other plants through its delicate lattice. Each plant species has its own unique vein pattern – a botanical fingerprint – and we invite you to take the time to observe the intricate characteristics of this particular specimen.

The Sola Tile

Each Sola Tile is a meticulously handcrafted botanical display object, made by skilled artisans in Kyoto – Japan's ancient capital and the heartland of Japanese craft tradition. Real botanical specimens sourced from nature are carefully prepared and then perfectly preserved within a flawless tile of crystal-clear resin. No two tiles are exactly alike.
