MoDus Tiles Add Another Dimension to Floors and Walls

We count on furniture to explore the three-dimensional space of a room, but why not discover such potential with floor and wall coverings? MoDus Tiles by Yuri Nulman introduce a more dynamic way to clad and consider the characteristically flat elements of building interiors and exteriors with a clever system of beveled stone modules.
Each square piece of rock of sufficient thickness can be cut through to roughly half depth by a bi-directional incision. The result produces two tiles with opposing shaped faces, one with a concave diagonal crease and one with a convex ridge.
The low and high registers manufactured by Jerusalem Limestone into each pair of corners invites the possibility of arranging MoDus Tiling into a range of contemporary tectonic patterns with a rare and appealing tactility.

Trend Themes
1. Dynamic Cladding - The MoDus Tiles introduce a more dynamic way to clad floors and walls, adding a three-dimensional element to building interiors and exteriors.
2. Bi-directional Incisions - The clever system of beveled stone modules incorporates bi-directional incisions, enabling the creation of tiles with opposing shaped faces.
3. Contemporary Tectonic Patterns - The MoDus Tiles allow for the arrangement of tiling into a range of contemporary tectonic patterns, offering a rare and appealing tactility.
Industry Implications
1. Interior Design - The dynamic cladding trend opens up new possibilities for interior designers to create visually interesting and tactile spaces.
2. Architecture - The use of bi-directional incisions in cladding materials presents disruptive innovation opportunities in architectural design, breaking away from traditional flat surfaces.
3. Construction - The incorporation of contemporary tectonic patterns in cladding materials gives the construction industry a chance to offer unique and visually appealing exteriors.
