Greg Natale designs the Casa tile collection for Kalin Surfaces with inspiration drawn from Italian interiors. The design is defined by muted and neutral tones and the ceramic series is comprised of two geometric designs. The first of the two is dubbed Milano and the second Venice -- both of these nod to the patterns that are reflective of the cities it references.
Milano has a T-shaped pattern with a slight rose tine and Venice has a stepped pattern detailed with soft grey colors. Natale wanted the Milano tile to honor high fashion and Venice inspired by its architecture. Kaolin explains, "This collection stands out on the global stage for its innovation, quality and artistic expression with colours and textures that were never achieved in porcelain tile manufacturing."
