PRODUCT DESIGN · CERAMIC TILES

Metro

Metro is a ceramic tile system that gives a wall depth through angled surfaces. Two tile types can be combined to create a range of layouts from a small set of parts.

From pine bark to a Cubist relief

The geometry grew out of a study of pine bark. Each tile has two faces that slope in opposite directions. Repeating and combining the tiles creates a relief that draws on Czech Cubist architecture.

Ceramics for public spaces

The tiles are designed in Diturvit, a durable porcelain-like ceramic. The choice of material allows for use in public interiors and outdoors.
