Italian tile studio Bisazza and British designer Tom Dixon collaborated on a new retro tile collection. The inspiration behind the vibrant selection of flooring is the city of London, and the thousand year old city's iconic landmarks and architecture.
London's bricks of red clay, cracked pavement and pebble dash walls have been reworked in a colorful, pop art aesthetic. The brand's Cementile walls for the collection are a modern interpretation of cement tiles that were used in noble palaces and mansions during the 1800s. All of Bisazza's tile pieces in are handcrafted in Tunisia using materials that give the tiles a soft and silky texture. This current collaboration with Dixon is only one of many that Bisazza is working on.
