Wow Design, the design studio specializing in small-scale signature tile designs, presented a wide variety of new designs and tile collections at the Boutique Design New York show, specializing in the hospitality design sector. The collections showcased here range from geometric designs to contemporary art to digital graphic looks.
Raster, boundless tile designs
With the Raster collection, architects and interior designers can create endless different modern patterns and grid-like designs. The tiles are divided into horizontal parallel lines, creating rectangles and squares of different sizes. These patterns, etched directly into the surface of the tiles, can all be mixed and matched, since they fit in geometrically with one another. The 15x15cm tiles come in a choice of geometrical patterns and colours.
Melange’s sophisticated colour transitions
Melange is a sophisticated tile collection, with sinuous transitions from one colour to another on the same surface. Pink morphs into blue and blue into green on the surface of the same tile in designs of different combinations. These transitions bring to mind the canvas of a contemporary art painting. The tiles come in a 11.7x54.2cm format in a matt finish.
Volumetric interplay in the Faces collection
With the Faces collection, walls can be brought to life and infused with movement, thanks to the volumes and waves on its tiles. The long slender tiles can be used on any curved surface. In addition to the flat tile model, Faces also features four different volumetric tiles, from wavy to triangular models, all designed to enhance living spaces in a multitude of ways. Faces comes in a 5x40cm format in a choice of eight colours.
Bit, inspired by digital graphics
Bit is a collection made up of unusually small tiles. Its format conjures up the world of digital graphics since, thanks to its size, visual effects reminiscent of digital ones can be achieved. Bit’s rectangular tiles come in a 3.7x11.6cm format and its squares ones in a 11.6 x11.6cm format in a choice of 9 colours and a matt or a high-glaze finish.
Twin Peaks
The Twin Peaks collection features angular upside-down V-shaped tiles in three different widths and another smooth-surfaced tile model. The sharp vertical lines make a stunning visual impact: they reflect the light and cast fascinating shadows that further accentuate their angular crests, forming dynamic patterns. The different-shaped 7.5x30cm tiles, available in 8 different colours, can all be inter-combined to form differing dynamic horizontal bands.
