Mutina Accents is the latest piece of evidence that Mutina is a company that celebrates following a bold new approach to ceramics … no longer conceived as a mere material for making tiles but as an interior design project. Continue reading Integrated Inspiration
Concreto by Lea explores the possibilities of concrete through a hyper-realistic representation of cement surfaces. The design process started with aesthetic and material analysis to fully capture the features of the material. These were then warped and selectively emphasised so that the different textures and colours of cement could become the range’s background. Continue reading Concrete Collaboration
Domus Tiles’ New Terracotta collection places an emphasis on handmade production which means no two tiles are ever the same. Traditional techniques result in a unique, tactile quality, with subtle shade variations, irregular edges and small imperfections are all part of the time-worn aesthetic. Continue reading Sumptuous Shapes
Confirming the commitment of the Marca Corona Line 1741 to experimentation, Chalk is a concrete-effect collection that combines delicate tones with bold shapes. On one hand it explores cold and chalky nuances. On the other it makes great use of the rhombus, and allows installers to create virtually endless decorative compositions. Continue reading Chalk & Choice
When specifying The Texas Ale Project, The Orion Collection turned to Crossville for suitable tile collections to finish the tasting room. Dark, textural Laminam Oxide 3 Grigio was specified for the T.A.P. room walls, while Laminam Oxide 3 Nero was installed on the columnar walls. Crossville’s Basalt porcelain tiles in the Bedrock colour were used on the floor, co-ordinating with the Laminam-skinned walls. Continue reading Basalt Brewery
The current vogue for all things terrazzo has proved a strange personal experience. When I was just 18 months old, way back in 1961, my family moved to a new house that my parents had had designed and built, largely using reclaimed materials, to be our forever family home. Continue reading Inviting Inclusions

Marianne Smink designs and makes screen-printed ceramic tiles, and digitally-printed wallpapers. Her aim is to achieve beauty through the inherent imperfection of hand-made work, drawing on the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi. Continue reading Inherent Imperfection
With Tailorart, colour, pattern and 3D textured surfaces are combined to produce a porcelain tile that meets the world of fashion with refined aesthetic, stylistic exclusivity and material power. Continue reading Fabric Fantasy
What is so clever about this project is that the crucial design element – a small elongated three-dimensional tile with a semi-circular section – is so modest. The Senio tiles are arranged like so many coloured crayons on the walls, to forge an innovative and impressive decorative system. Continue reading Terminus Transformed
Interca brings the demountable ceramic tile floor one stage further. The system uses a rubber mat, with extremely accurate “grout” lines as a substrate. Continue reading Glueless Grids
