From comics to cheese, modern clay to unfired tiles, today’s curiosities are full of magic!
1) Mosaic Tiles Achilles Colored Duo
A bold, bizarre, and craftily curious, this unexpected mosaic design from Mosafil showcases a variety of characters, artworks, and comic-strip snippets for an unusual Pop Art bonanza with a retro flair.
2) Firenze
Made from NeoClay, a new, innovative ceramic material, Solus Ceramics’ Firenze collection offers marbles textures in inviting tonal pairs. Forest green meets soft pistachio, off black meets smoky grey, and cool blue meets chocolate brown. Endless patterns are creates in the various shapes and sizes, mixing and matching between solid colour and wavy organic shapes.
3) Swiss Cheese
Ever fancied covering your walls in slices of Swiss cheese? Well now you can with this fresh, whimsical design from Thatcher Studio. In vibrant deli yellow, these playful food-centres cement tiles are an instant curiosities classic.
4) Stork
The fanned wings of a stork in flight decorate these elegant scale-shaped tiles from Lili Cement. Stork’s artistic avian motif is available in two colours – greyscale and green – with the feathered detail offering varied aesthetics when viewed from up close or afar.
5) Formella
Made without a kiln, these unusual tiles from Claybrook Studio are instead cold pressed and left to harden naturally. Their textured bodies are a mix of powdered raw materials such as quartz, recycled elements, natural pigments, and cement. A muted rainbow of shades from yellow and green, red and pink open up opportunities for striking combinations, monocolour, and patterns.
