The geometrically patterned 3D wall tiles improve the character and texture of any space with their unique interlocking triangle design. The Hex tiles are made from [sustainable 9mm PET felt](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixels-1) which naturally contains multi-tone variation, providing subtle color fluctuation for a more nuanced overall look. Hex tiles come in an array of bright colors suited for creative spaces as well as a range of refined colors for more conservative spaces. The texture choices vary widely as well from comfy fabric to wood grain. Upon request, the texture and color of the Hex tiles can be matched to existing interior design arrangements.
