At 225 by 225mm, matt grey and dark metallic gold mix together in geometric patterns and futuristic designs. … Continue reading A bit of Bestile
These 3D tiles break the abstract line between interior decor and art. Desiring to produce a collection that offers this artistic freedom to consumers, Italian designer Giovanni Barbieri makes use of relief for his Squar tiles. With an unusual cracked-effect creating levels of shadow and juxtaposed with plain flat tiles, Squar[e] offers a little mystique. In a sequence of supposedly random shapes, Squar[e] produces a … Continue reading Stone Squar[e]

Kahlo … Continue reading Varied Vernís

The Codicer 95 stand at Cersaie was one of Tile Addict’s favourites.

There are only a few main collections that will be covered here, although they are by no means the only designs worth mentioning. The first to catch our … Continue reading Colourful Codicer
