At Grafite Ceramics, we have an Experienced, Knowledgeable, Ethically Committed, Skilled Workforce that consistently strives to deliver Industry-Superior-Quality Glazed Vitrified Tiles Manufactured At a Production Facility in Morbi, Gujarat (India).
In this exclusive interview at Elev8 2025, Architect Ravi Patel, the owner of Grafite Ceramics, shares his brand’s role in the evolving world of surface finishes. As the first Indian company to offer 10 different surface finishes, Grafite Ceramics is redefining customization in the industry. Join us as we explore the brand’s philosophy, its commitment to innovation, and how it continues to set new benchmarks in custom-made ceramic solutions.
Ravi Patel: I am Architect Ravi Patel, the owner of Grafite Ceramics. Our company is just two years old, but we have already made a significant impact in the industry. We specialize in multiple surface finishes and are proud to be the first Indian company to offer 10 different finishes on hand. I always enjoy participating in events like Elev8. The crowd here is fantastic, highly interactive, and eager to explore innovations in design.
Ravi Patel: Our products are tailor-made, allowing architects to choose designs, sizes, and finishes that suit their projects. This level of customization allows architects to create unique and personalized spaces. Our philosophy is simple—our products are designed for our community, providing innovative and practical solutions for modern architecture.
Ravi Patel: This is indeed the era of trends. Just like the fast fashion industry, the design world is constantly evolving. Brands like Zara and H&M introduce new styles regularly, and we follow a similar approach in ceramics. We introduce fresh designs every season, including our latest summer collection. However, affordability remains a priority.
To explain the cost-effectiveness, let’s compare it to food. A kilogram of potatoes costs around 20 rupees and lasts a day. Our ceramic products might cost around 60–70 rupees but will last for 25 years. This makes them an economical and long-term investment.
Ravi Patel: We are expanding rapidly. We are soon launching our galleries in Ahmedabad to showcase our latest collections. We aim to bring high-quality, budget-friendly ceramics to architects and designers across India.
Furthermore, at Grafite Ceramics, we believe in blending innovation with affordability, ensuring that architects have access to the best materials without compromising on budget. We look forward to continuing our journey and collaborating with the design community.
