WOW Tesserae

WOW Tesserae Suit sets up a conversation between past and future, with a classic look given a modern twist. It is inspired by the handmade cement tiles of the nineteenth century. It also recalls the mastery of the mosaic makers who built their designs one small piece at a time.

That intricate, piece-by-piece look comes in a practical 280 × 280mm porcelain tile, so it is quicker and simpler to lay than a traditional mosaic. The soft matt surface reduces glare and is easy to look after. Gentle variation in tone from tile to tile adds an artisan character. Moss sets deep sage against pale stone, and Ona pairs warm ochre with soft mint for a lighter, warmer look. It suits floors and walls in bathrooms, kitchens, laundries and hallways.
