Floor tiles (Tomettes) by Pablo Picasso and a mosaic after his design. La Californie, Cannes 1956.

At Pablo Picasso’s Villa La Californie in Cannes, a sun-drenched table displays handcrafted ceramic floor tiles (*tomette*s) designed by the artist in 1956. The tiles, scattered and stacked, feature various shapes—including octagonal, square, and a fish—decorated with stylized suns and faces. Nearby, a mosaic after one of Picasso's designs is propped up amidst rolled drawings and a small pitcher, capturing the atmosphere of creative work in progress.
