Modern Utility Wardrobe

Overview

Akira Takahashi

The Fictitious Tile Collection aims to rejuvenate the memory of ancient handcrafted tiles and hydraulic cement by experimenting with an innovative printing technique geared towards a mass-produced product. This tradition, revisited in a contemporary key, is serially produced in 25x25 cm format.

The composition captures the characteristics of the patchwork technique: an innovative, deliberately random mix and match that combines abstract designs and unsaturated, neutral colors that adhere to the support material in a naturally irregular way.

Sustainability

Fictitious tiles respect the environment and contain no V.O.C.

Fictitious White: Cube, Clover, Star, Flowers, Lace

In this way, the patterns of the Fictitious Tile Collection combine deliberately different languages: memory, geometries, pixels, developed both longitudinally and diagonally. A unique and surprising result that offers compositional freedom and design uniqueness, while maintaining the characteristics of 'handmade' with the performance of a high-tech material suitable for both flooring and wall coverings.

“With the Fictitious Tile Collection, we wanted to give new value to the memory of hydraulic cement. A process developed exponentially, where we only wanted to sketch the first combinations of a long series. And now, it’s up to you!”
