Neo classic charm

Textures
Embrace the clash of different textures.
Evoking bygone eras
Reviving the classics
Neo-classic design is perfectly summed up with the playful nature of these finshes. Brushed chrome takes a back seat to the beautiful pink fishscale tiles, while the deep wood grounds the theme.
18th Century elegance
Penny round tiles have a tendency to go unnoticed, but not here. Instead, the many shades of blue are warm and inviting, particularly alongside chrome and soothing grey.
Opulent materials
This story is all about those bright tiles, and why shouldn’t it be? As a clear feature of the space, it’s fun and playful. The brushed gold effect rounds it off nicely.
Melding modernity & tradition
Complex herringbone tiles are dark and moody here, capturing your eye. Cleverly paired with a darker marble dash, the softer, matte chrome creates a welcoming sense of tradition.
