Academy is a ceramic glazed brick collection from PGH, distinguished by its intelligent palette. Each colour is named after a marker of excellence and achievement – the Juilliard, the Quantum, the Nobel, the Alumni and the Oscar.

Academy Collection: Juilliard

The Juilliard conveys the passion and verve of the eponymous world-renowned institute for excellence in music, drama and dance education.

Academy Collection: Alumni

The Alumni is staid, conveying refined wisdom and deep thought.

Academy Collection: Nobel

The Nobel is the most dramatic – an extreme black, exuding the power with which scientific discovery shapes humanity.

Academy Collection: Oscar

The Oscar is the brightest of the range – not a colour that shies away from the limelight.

Academy Collection: Quantum

The Quantum is a beautiful pure blue, the infinitesimal nature of light and energy and substance.

The palette of five colours is refined, dark and sophisticated – colours to launch your imagination to ambitious new heights.
