2 x 2 Mosaics | Tile by Style
The features of this collection are reflected in its name. Timeless: beautiful tiles that go beyond time and trends. From the aesthetic point of view, the color palette stands out for its neutral colors and subtle movement, allowing for harmonious combinations. From the technical point of view, Casalgrande has fine-tuned their technology for making full-body porcelain, and they manufacture a material with superior technical characteristics that withstand the test of time. This is a truly unglazed, technical porcelain, with all the graphic movement achieved by the pigments in the clay and no glaze on top.
Elios Slate is a porcelain with a realistic slate look, giving us the grandeur of Mother Nature’s beauty but with the technical advantages of porcelain material. With its rectified edges, the Slate line avoids being overly rustic, allowing customers to use the material in a variety of design concepts. The realism and depth of color will add a richness to any installation. All colors have the characteristic movement of real slate, while some colors have wider shade variation than others.
Alabastro offers two colors of light, white marble (or Alabaster) that hit the sweet spot by being neither too plain nor too busy. The overall look is soft and subtle, but the graphic also has impressive depth making it feel as though you can see through layers of alabaster stone. The Avorio color is perfect for the customer seeking a refined marble look in a warm, gold-based tone. The Bianco fits the customer who wants to stay more neutral, with its warm grey veining. With two finishes in two sizes in both colors, plus the 24 x 48 in polished only, this series can be used many ways and will add character to any project.
Marmi Carrara offers the timelessly beautiful look of Carrara marble. Extracted from quarries in Northern Italy since Ancient Roman times, Carrara has been used in notable buildings, memorials and artwork all over the world for centuries. Characterized by a soft white with wispy grey veining, it is a truly classic look whether used on its own or combined with other items (e.g. Marquinia) in checkerboards or other patterns.
For their Taj Mahal series, Campogalliano was inspired by the beautiful white marble of the iconic landmark it is named for. Different from other white marbles, the Taj Mahal white is almost tone on tone, with beautiful veining that has a gentle, onyx-like grain. With one color in two finishes and two sizes, this series epitomizes the classic timelessness of white marble, adding elegance to any installation.
In Tinte Unite, Gazzini presents a simple concept, a line of solid colors, with their visual eye for detail. The surface is not completely flat, and the three colors are carefully studied to be the best possible versions of a pure white, a deep black and a soft, warm light grey. With a rectified 12 x 24 and 12 x 12, and a non-rectified 8-1/2” Hexagon, the line provides many options for combinations and patterns. We added a 2 x 2 mosaic in all three olors, plus two options in a 2 x 2 checkerboard mosaic.
The aesthetic of Stonecloud is simple without being plain. Inspired by volcanic lava, the graphic has subtle shading and small mineral spots. The result is something that has depth and interest without adhering to an identifiable pattern. The color palette includes attractive neutrals, a clean white, and a rich, deep blue. All five colors are stocked in two finishes, Natural and Embossed, each enlivened with important details. The Natural finish is not completely flat and has matte and shiny areas that reflect the light in different ways. The Embossed finish has a delicately raised linear structure that has a pleasant worn effect, creating a structured porcelain that is still easy to clean.
Motif reproduces all the special features of the classic Calacatta Gold marble of Italian tradition. The vein, color, tactile sensation and visual impact all reflect the beauty of this noble stone with it’s bright white background and warm veining. With the Natural (honed) and Polished finishes, and multiple sizes and mosaics, Motif offers a full range of options within this one color series.
The cross-cut travertine look is more than traditional; it is perennially popular. Yet, as factories discontinue old travertine lines, it has become difficult to find replacements. With the Tradition series, we found one that will be a great option for customers seeking the travertine look. As a one color line, it manages to be far more than just one tile. The color has deep graphic detail and a nuanced blend of warm tones that make it a chameleon that moves from Ivory to Almond to Gold, depending on its surroundings. In fact, it will appeal to anyone who simply wants a beautiful stone-look in a warm color.
Verde 1999 employs graphics from different stones and concrete, mixing them together to create the crossover contemporary/classic look for the Blast series. Both sizes of this colored-body inkjet porcelain are rectified. It is important to blend tiles within each carton, and from different cartons during installation to insure a proper range of variation.
