Italian artisan stone designer Giovanni Barbieri has designed a decorative three dimensional tile made from recycled, engineered light travertine. 

Giovanni Barbieri’s Exciton XL tiles feature a deep relief pattern made up of repeated hexagons.

The tiles fit together to create a visually stunning display of endless geometry. Each hexagon has three rhombus-shaped surfaces that each feature a different texture, accentuating its three dimensional form.

The tiles are produced from recycled travertine/marble dust using a laboratory tested process. They are available in two dimensions and in three colors.
