Porcelain tile inspired by 1980s postmodern design
LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Walker Zanger, the industry’s leading natural stone and tile design
resource in North America, announces the launch of the Kaleidoscope
collection, a colorful new collection of porcelain tile that pays homage
to the experimental and playful spirit of postmodern design. Featuring
geometric shapes in a pastel palette of matte pink, greens and blues,
the Kaleidoscope gives designers permission to create playful,
personalized patterns. The new collection will be on display at Walker
Zanger’s booth at WantedDesign Manhattan May 18-21, 2019.
“Just like the geometric glass fractals of a kaleidoscope, this singular
collection of tiles is meant to produce countless combinations of colors
and compositions for a range of custom-tailored designs,” said Erika
Egede-Nissen, Director of Marketing at Walker Zanger. “Kaleidoscope
offers the opportunity to play with multidimensional color, or to take a
minimal approach with glossy white tile and geometric patterns.”
When Milan-based Memphis Style intersects with the pop art movement,
nostalgic style bursts onto the scene. The modern-yet-retro feel of
Kaleidoscope encourages both designers and homeowners to express their
personalities by using combination of colors and patterns on walls and
floors. Available in triangle and square porcelain tiles, Kaleidoscope
is suitable for residences and light commercial floor applications,
along with pools, spas, fountains and steam rooms.
The new collection is the first to debut under Walker Zanger’s new
Design Realized campaign, which encourages design trade professionals
and homeowners to consider and explore new styles through Walker
Zanger’s curated collection of natural stone, tile and wood products.
Kaleidoscope recalls a Nostalgic Maximalism aesthetic, which is known
for its playful layers of pattern, texture and color that create a
statement through bold sophisticated stylings.
