Raval
In the Raval collection, Mats Theselius artfully merges Scandinavian and Arabic design
elements to create a modern aesthetic. The color palette resonates with the traditional hues
of Scandinavian style. This collection offers a choice of six distinct color combinations to suit
various preferences. The tiles are designed with borders and corners, allowing for the
creation of a carpet-like pattern when combined with the base tile. These tiles can be laid
either with or without borders and corners.
Kelim
The Kelim collection, envisioned by Mats Theselius, was launched in 2012. This collection
integrates four distinct patterns: Goose-eye, Herringbone, Hook, and Woody. While the tiles
can be individually arranged to form a single pattern, there is also the option to blend all or
select 1-2 patterns in either matching or contrasting colors to fashion a bespoke “Kelim”
carpet. Each of the four patterns is accessible in all hues from our color palette, offering the
flexibility to craft a personalized and exclusive design.
Nya Raval
In 2017, Mats Theselius introduced the New Raval collection, which closely resembles the
Raval collection from 2010. However, by incorporating additional colors and intermixing
spaces within the tiles, a fresh pattern and meta-pattern emerged. This collection exudes a
more vibrant and playful aesthetic compared to the original Raval design, offering a selection
of nine distinct colors. T
Lines
The Lines Collection represents our inaugural series of wall-specific tiles. This collection
features relief designs in four distinct styles (Foyer, Panel, Reed, and Trapeze), offered in a
palette of four gentle earth tones. These tiles are intricately crafted with varying line
spacings, adding a unique dimension to their aesthetic appeal. T
Dots
The Dost collection is mostly about colour and a less about the pattern effect. It’s the colours that does most of the work in this design. The collection consists of six different tiles, four of which are called “Dots: Make-up palette”. In these four tiles the background colour is different but the colour of the Dots is recurring. The tiles can be installed in many different ways: statically repeated, with some kind of varied interval or completely randomly. A checkerboard combo is also a possibility. There is also an option to mix with plain tiles of the same colour as the background colour in the selected pattern tile.
