Originating in the 19th century in France, as early as the beginning of the 20th century the mosaic tiles turned into real icon of modern style, which rejects classic lines and angles in favor of decorative elements, using such materials as metal, concrete and glass. The original hearth of modernism in Spain is Barcelona – the bright and charismatic creations of Gaudi and the unchanging mosaic.
The eclectic spirit of Art Nouveau inspired the designers of Saloni factory (Spain) – permanent exhibitor of BATIMAT RUSSIA under the collective brand Tile of Spain – to create the Pobles series of porcelain stoneware. It combines the ancient craft aesthetics with modern technologies. The series adapts easily to any decorative style and any type of premises, from classic and retro to urban and industrial styles.
The basic background tile of 18.5 x 18.5 cm repeats the texture of concrete. It is presented in four shades of gray. The combination of neutral shades with five types of decor of the same size will help create elegant modern interiors. Cadaques, Sitges, Vic, Miravet, Pals – decorative elements with intricate geometric ornaments have the names of cities and tourist attractions of Spain. Variations on mosaic and hydraulic tiles will make a bright accent in minimal modern interiors adding a touch of freshness to avoid excessive austerity.
