Jean

The Jean translates the powerful expression of deep Obsidian into the refined Hilversum 7 format. The dark anthracite tone gives the façade a pronounced architectural presence, while the horizontal play of lines provides rhythm and composure. A brick that combines restraint with authority and lends façades a powerful, timeless identity.

Production process: Eco-smoked. Firing and smoking combined in a single firing cycle in a low-oxygen atmosphere. Lower gas consumption.

Clay composition: 100% refractory kaolinitic-illitic Westerwald clay of Mesozoic age, blended with iron-rich clay to give its characteristic depth of colour.

Colour: Obsidian, deep dark anthracite
