Our newest Material Matters column is now live in Mix Interiors magazine. Here we share the materials we've been looking at this week.
Johnson Tiles has used the latest technology to perfectly recreate the look, texture and industrial character of exposed bricks in tiles. Brics is a brand new range of rustic porcelain floor and wall tiles in a slim 250x60mm format. The tiles can be mixed and matched in a variety of true-to-life shades that feature realistic detailing reflecting the natural irregularity of the materials.
Simplicity, clarity, order and truth are the underlining principles of Katie Gillies’ new collection of surface coverings, ‘project 2’. Contemporary processes and a variety of glass materials have been used to create this collection, overlapping layers to produce tiles and panels that are ideal for industrial and architectural spaces, and are inspired by Modernist architecture.
Metrostone is a cement-based coating for floors and walls from the Metropolis range, created by Gruppo Ivas in northern Italy. Finished with a water-based polyurethane resin that comes in a matt, mid-sheen and gloss finish, it’s ideal for design-led environments and interiors where individuality can shine. It can be used to experiment with effects such as heavy textures, polished stone and shuttered concrete to achieve a high-end look.
Decored create smart finishes on beautiful and timeless mother of pearl surface coverings. The key is in the craftsmanship of their traditional artisans that makes the most of the natural colour, texture and pattern-characteristics of this natural resource. The new South Seas Collection uses both black and white pearls to full effect with simple and clear mosaic, crackle and block shaping.
