Handmade Petersen Kolumba™ bricks

Petersen Kolumba bricks

Petersen Kolumba™ bricks were developed jointly by Petersen Tegl and architect Peter Zumthor in 2002, who wanted to use bricks in a Roman format for the Kolumba Museum in Cologne. After the clay is processed, Kolumba™ bricks are 100% handmade in wooden moulds, then dried and fired. The varying temperatures during the firing process create Kolumba's unmatched textures and beautiful shades, and you'll even find a thumb print on each one.

While standard dimensions are shown below, customised versions are also produced. Kolumba bricks are available in 33 colours. Austalia's most sought-after colours are shown below, to see the full range visit Petersen's Kolumba™ brick page.

Handmade Petersen Cover™

Petersen Cover™ is a 100% handmade shingle, first developed as a prototype in 2009 by Dutch architects Min2 bouw-kunst, who wanted a custom version of Kolumba bricks mounted as shingles on their home. Architects Lundgaard & Tranberg further developed Cover that year for the Sorø Art Museum in Denmark.

Handmade Petersen Cover™ was officially added to Petersen's range in 2013, and is now available in 14 colours and two sizes. Australia's most sought-after Cover™ colours are shown below, and you can visit the Petersen Cover™ webpage to see the full range.
