TEX by raw edges Yael Mer and Shay Alkalay

A rich multi-coloured ceramic tile collection inspired by textiles textures was the starting point of the new project designed for Mutina by Raw Edges studio in London. “Creating a tangible texture is one of the challenges when designing ceramics tiles”, the two young designers state. “Looking around us, almost every object has its own particular texture, whether it’s a natural or a handmade material. Rather than designing new textures by ourselves, we have reached a print effect and created our reference tactile library by placing plasticine on objects and materials we thought were interesting. To our surprise, it were the textures taken from textiles which have led us to define the new collection Tex. The shape of the tile is a simplified enlargement of the basic knitted stitch: when looking carefully into a knitted textile, a repetition of stitches can be seen aligned in symmetric rows next to each other. This rhombus can be arranged in three main fashions, each of which has a different impact. The collection has eight different colors, each of which contains a group of three shades.
