Ambiente European Tile Design has teamed up with Villeroy & Boch on an auspicious new collection of floor and wall tiles: The “Art of Simplicity” is comprised of seven new styles, featuring “organic motifs, geometric patterns, and three-dimensional surfaces.”

Alta has a captivating Pointillist effect. What appears uniform from a few steps back is revealed as complex and intricate upon closer inspection. With subtle shading and delicate striations of color, Alta is versatile and elegant.

Nocturne, to the contrary, has a penchant for drama. This porcelain stoneware tile captures the flash and flair of marble, reproducing its fine veining and contrasts in color for a contemporary look—“an impressive, extremely noble atmosphere in classic and modern settings alike.”

And Ombra embraces contrasts. Juxtaposing subtle gray scale gradations with a linear relief and a graphic floral pattern, Ombra offers varying views of a coherent vision—light, shadow, and the perspective of the viewer conspire to create a constantly varied décor.

The Art of Simplicity features tiles appropriate for walls and floors, in wet or dry conditions and indoor or outdoor applications. See Ambiente European Tile Design for additional information on the entire collection. And go to Designer Pages Media for more from Villeroy & Boch.
