Antica Ceramica, a trailblazer in tile design, is excited to announce the launch of its latest innovation, the Flute Collection. Drawing inspiration from the classical fluted columns of ancient Roman and Greek architecture, this collection brings a fresh perspective to ceramic tiles, blending tradition with contemporary aesthetics.
The Flute Collection features a distinct ribbed or grooved texture, creating an interplay of light and shadow that adds depth and dimension to any space. These tiles are versatile and can elevate both residential and commercial interiors, making them a perfect choice for architects, designers, and homeowners looking to make a bold statement.
For homeowners, the Flute Collection offers a refined yet understated elegance. Popular applications include feature walls in living rooms, bedrooms, or entryways, where the vertical grooves of the tiles draw the eye upwards, making spaces feel more expansive. In bathrooms, they create a serene, spa-like atmosphere when used as full wall treatments behind bathtubs or as decorative backsplashes for vanities. In kitchens, fluted tiles provide a striking contrast to smooth countertops, adding a dynamic visual element. Around fireplaces, the textured surface captures light beautifully, transforming the hearth into a warm, artistic focal point.
In commercial spaces, the Flute Collection has quickly become a favorite among designers for its ability to infuse personality into professional environments. Reception areas, for example, benefit from the sleek texture of fluted tiles, creating a polished and inviting entrance for office or hotel lobbies. In restaurants, these tiles add a layer of sophistication to walls, bar fronts, and dining areas, enhancing the overall ambiance without overpowering the space. Retail stores can use fluted tiles as a striking backdrop for high-end merchandise displays, adding depth and elegance to the interior. Additionally, corporate boardrooms benefit from the professional yet creative look that fluted tiles bring to the space, complementing a wide range of design themes.
The Flute Collection stands out not just for its visual appeal but also for its practicality. The tiles offer exceptional durability, making them ideal for high-traffic areas. They are also easy to clean and maintain, ensuring they look stunning for years to come. Moreover, the collection includes eco-friendly options, with tiles made from recycled materials, catering to designers focused on sustainability.
To maximize the impact of fluted tiles, Antica Ceramica recommends playing with lighting to enhance the dimensional effect, pairing the textured tiles with smooth surfaces such as marble countertops or glass fixtures for balance, and coordinating colors to either blend seamlessly with the decor or create a bold, focal point. Available in a range of colors, sizes, and finishes, the tiles in this collection are set at 600 x 1200 mm with a thickness of 10 mm, ensuring ease of installation and compatibility with a variety of spaces. Additionally, the collection incorporates non-slip textures, a critical feature for areas prone to moisture, combining safety with aesthetics.
“We are thrilled to launch the Flute Collection, which captures the timeless elegance of classical architecture while catering to modern design sensibilities. These tiles are not only beautiful but also practical, offering versatility and durability that will inspire creativity in both residential and commercial spaces,” said Mr. Rahul Bhugra, Director of Antica Ceramica.
