Ceramica Rondine, an Italian tile company, uses a bit of sleight of hand in its latest collection, entitled Brick Generation. Though the collection features tiles made entirely of porcelain, few would be able to recognize that at first glance. Each of the three ranges of porcelain have a brick effect that is virtually indistinguishable from the genuine article.
According to Ceramica Rondine's Dezeen article, the porcelain brickwork collection is inspired by the London, Bristol, and New York buildings that are famous for being built from brick. The benefit of the porcelain tiles, however, is that one's home need not be built from brick originally to be able to borrow that classic style.
Each of the ranges offered in Brick Generation come in several different colors, including beige, charcoal, and brown.
