When Architecture Meets Material: Caesar and Agence Engasser + Associés Caesar Ceramics, The unique ‘material culture’ that identifies us comes from more than 30 years experience and innovation in the field of high-quality Italian porcelain tile, a guarantee of comprehensive technical know-how.

The collaboration between Ceramiche Caesar and the architecture firm Agence Engasser + Associés reflects a shared approach rooted in design sensitivity and aesthetic awareness, based on common values such as functional precision, material versatility, and attention to the public dimension of space. A partnership that has grown over time through a series of projects in France across the sports, education, and public sectors.

Based in Paris, Agence Engasser + Associés is an architecture firm known for its ability to combine technical rigor with an urban vision. The firm works in a wide range of sectors including schools, healthcare facilities, sports complexes, and residential developments. Each project is conceived as a work capable of interacting with its context while precisely meeting users’ needs.

In the field of sports architecture, Caesar has supported the firm in the creation of several multifunctional centers. The Rugby Field in Chevilly Larue (2021) features Caesar porcelain stoneware in the locker rooms and communal areas, using Pillar Sand, Hike Lodge, Wide Fog, Wide Street, and Comblanchien collections. Also in 2021, the Pontoise Athletics Hall uses the neutral tones of Wide Fog and Wide Street to define technical and functional areas such as locker rooms and restrooms. More recently, the Vincennes and Agnetz Sports Complexes (2024) incorporate Wide Fog, Vapour, and the Quartz Essence Flake collection in locker rooms, showers, and shared spaces, achieving both technical performance and aesthetic consistency.

In the educational sector, projects such as the Collège Angela Davis in Bobigny (2024) feature Wide Fog and Join Levity in bathrooms and communal spaces, while the Lycée Paul Valéry in Paris employs Wide Steel, Fog, and Join Levity to shape hybrid indoor-outdoor spaces that ensure durability and design coherence in pathways and shared areas.

Across all these projects, Caesar materials meet both the aesthetic and technical demands of the architects while contributing to a broader architectural vision that enhances user experience and lends shared spaces a durable, distinctive identity.
