From furniture to storage, lighting to looping, sometimes tile is more than just a pretty face.
1) Hoops and Rods
Dutch product designer Marieke Van Heesbeen makes use of the permanence of tile to serve a purpose beyond aesthetics. With her delightful set of hoops and rods, stylish storage solutions are offered for the bathroom and beyond.
2) Hooks and Lighting
Create seamless lighting design with the inbuilt illumination from Unknown Untitled‘s UU Tiles. A classic metro turns lampshade, blending stylishly into tile installations whilst a simple hook shape offers a touch of wall mounted storage, without damaging your surfaces.
3) Modular Furniture
Colourful and contrasting tiles are mounted with magnets to create a series of modular furniture pieces by Studio Rens and Cor Unum. Made to be mixed, matched, and reconfigured, these statement designs are ideal for personalised interiors.
4) Functional Art
From candle holders to soap dishes, and pockets to hooks, the outrageously lovely tiles from Lux Pottery are artworks you can use. Striking glaze effects and glorious pigments create captivating features whilst their function adds to the magic.
5) Furnished furniture
Decorated in unique, handmade, and three dimensional tiles, the captivating furniture of Jeff Martin is entirely its own. From cabinets to vanities, and tables to trunks, these incredible pieces are made to be centre of attention.
