NOVEMBER 2017 R ETAI LOBSE RVE R.COM 39 HANDMADE INSPIRATION: Inspiration from the process of making tile by hand generates unique ceramic pieces with artisan flair. Distressed looks, chipped enamels, and grated surfaces ensure that no two decorative pieces are exactly alike. This refortified trend recalls the taste of yesteryear to beautify walls and floors. The Doney collection by Vives is an excellent example of this, and showcases mismatched shapes coming together in imperfect harmony.

The Bora series by Oset combines a design inspired by natural wood with hues of grey, black, and white in a chevron pattern for an artistic yet natural feel.

The Provenzal Series by Ceramicas Vilar Albaro creates harmonious asymmetry by alternating muted pieces with small decorative ones.
