| Content description | The tiles are inspired by vegetation or spontaneously random - the design on each tile is different, and characteristic of its maker. Intermingled with plain ones, these tiles are ideal for the bathroom and suitable for other interior domestic applications. Arrange them in a grided pattern or scatter randomly; unexpected connections emerge over time! Information on Tiles from Granby Workshop, Catalogue 2015. |
