Abstract
The ‘hydraulic mosaic’ was designed and first used beginning in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The focus of the current paper is on Catalan production, particularly by the most prominent and long-lived of the commercial actors, the Escofet tile manufacturing company. It draws attention to the recognition of the hydraulic tile as flooring that embodies a high degree of artistic creativity, yet has always excelled in adapting to the defining characteristics of industrial design, namely: business strategy, production that remains autonomous with respect to individual architecture projects, satisfaction of market niche and evolving consumer tastes, plus links with contemporary cultural and social factors.
