Have you ever had a yen for some textural variability in your floor? I don’t mean the typical move from wood to carpet or even tile to etched concrete, but more imaginative options like the rough knurls of snakeskin or the silky down of giraffe hide. Though such fantastic flights may remain purely speculative, Imagine Tile’s Nature Collection offers the next best thing.

Contract Jungle Fever with Imagine Tile’s Animal Patterns

Of course, no one—except maybe certain eccentric narcotics kingpins down in the Southern Hemisphere (if you believe the movies)—actually wishes to adorn their floors with the skins of exotic animals. But Imagine Tile indulges this aesthetic fixation with their collection of glazed, high-res animal prints.

Like all of Imagine’s tiles, the patterns are made of pre-consumer recycled materials. They’re resistant to the disruptive trinity of wear, chemicals/cleaners, and UV light, so they make a great choice for high-traffic areas.

The collection is easy to machine and they’re available in three sizes (16×16, 12×12, and 8×8), so they work as coverings for floors, walls, and countertops. The Animal Collection is available by special order only, so if you’d like the unusual look offered by this close-in view of the skin of a cow, snake, alligator, zebra, or giraffe, you’ll need to contact Imagine with your unique proposal.

About the Manufacturer: Imagine Tile is a NY, NY-based manufacturer of all manner of imaginative tile for floors, walls, and countertops. The company offers product for both residential and contract markets. Imagine’s high-resolution ceramic tiles are extra vivid and ultra-realistic as they bring to life such unusually imagistic surfaces as a bed of pebbles in a mountain stream, a manhole cover on a city street, or a pastoral Mediterranean fresco. The level of realism is owed to Imagine’s manufacturing process—by firing at extremely high temperatures, Imagine “makes ceramic glazes act like printing inks… the glaze and tile literally fuse together, making the design a permanent part of the tile.”
