Fold
The Infinity symbol inspired the new Cement Tile collection Fold for Marrakech Design. The pattern has its origin in a flattened möbius strip that forms a perfect hexagon. The Möbius strip is a mathematic discovery of a single-sided surface and its symbolic value of infinty has been retained as cement tiles with equivalent qualities.
Paths
Paths tile collection create an eternal maze of paths. However you choose to turn the tile, the ”paths” will join to find new irregular ways. The collection has endless possibilities to create new patterns.
Ma
Ma is a plain colored tile where the spaces in between form a pattern due to the shape of the tile. Color and material determine the overall impression and the joints between the tiles ensure the dynamics. The new Ma cement tile is eye-catching and simple at the same time. The name Ma comes from Japan and is an expression of the space between two things, but not as a dividing void, but as a connection.
Stripe
“With ‘Stripe’ I worked systematically with a sequence of colors, almost like a Rainbow. Then I divided them into 8 different panels. These in turn can be as simple, simple stripes or in an infinite variety of colors, checks and stripes,” sums up Charlotte van der Lancken.
