Last week I stumbled across New Ravenna’s tile on Pinterest and immediately fell in love with their beautiful line. Considered the best local artisan of stone and glass mosaics, each product is handcrafted. Tiles are tumbled, honed or treated with a special finish to achieve subtle texture and shade variations.

Recently we have seen a surge in folded paper in the design world. It may be the simplicity of paper, or the crisp white edges it creates, but paper has become a source of inspiration for artists and designers.

Be still my heart. Partnering with Mutina, Tokujin Yoshioka has produced a new line of tiles, each based on irregular textures found in nature. Tokujin is one of my most favorite designers, hands down. Known for creating ethereal spaces pairing natural inspiration with modern techniques and materials, his sense of light may be unparalleled.
See more work by Tokujin Yoshioka at Dezeen.
Mutina Phenomenon, available in three patterns Snow, Honey-comb, and Rain
We hope to see more partnerships with Mutina and designers like Tokujin and Patricia Urquiola.

Toronto based Urbanproduct is an industrial design studio focused on developing affordable and ecologically aware products. They have created Dune, a collection of sculptural wall tiles available in concrete, wood and ceramic. Tiles are finished with soya-based and natural pigments and can be used indoors and out.
We love dimensional tiles, and anything that promises to be affordable will certainly be a favorite in the studio!

Leather floors are sophisticated yet rustic, and while not ideal for most retail flooring applications, they have found life as focal walls and in luxurious customer lounges.
These divine leather floor tiles are from Ting London who repurposes salvaged materials into luggage, wallets and other home accessories. Each tile is crafted by a specialized artisan who hand picks and arranges the belts, and as the tiles age with wear they continue to develop a rich patina.

Bright colors are not easy to come by, and it can be impossible to find a porcelain tile in a statement color. The Uonuon collection from 14 Ora Italiana is inspired by the work of Pop Artist, Andy Warhol, and opens the door to full chroma color. A screening technique is used to create the 14+1 highly saturated colors.
Available in two sizes, 10x120cm and 20x120cm
