Trail captures the essence of landscapes in a tile collection. Using the expertise of years of excellent craftsmanship and the design experimentation process to bring a wide selection of earth tones and textures that mirror the fluidity found in the natural world. With organic shapes representing rivers, islands, mountains, and volcanoes, the same tile can be rearranged to create different patterns- transforming walls into a variety of captivating sceneries. By seamlessly bringing the diverse and abundant shapes of nature in indoor spaces, and harmoniously merging with the fluidity of the elements when they are placed in outside settings.
The collection draws inspiration from vivid memories of expansive vistas on the western side of the United States and the majestic mountain formations of Colombia. It places a strong emphasis on capturing the dynamic motion and fluidity of water trails as they weave through the ever-changing landscapes. The goal is to craft a composition that not only resonates with the lively essence of nature but also encapsulates the perpetual movement inherent in these environments.
