Modern Marble Cladding: 3-D Graffiti Tiles
Written by Jennifer Heyns
Tile is everywhere in the home. It’s on the floor, climbing across walls and spreading over countertops. For the most part, traditional or artistic, tile has stayed two-dimensional - until now.
Decormarmi, a champion Italian design company and laboratory, has come up with a unique set of Graffiti tiles that are three-dimensional and truly inspirational. Not only are these versa-tile (get it?) and afford homeowners stylish design both inside & out, but they’re made with a special modern marble cladding system.
This system gives the tiles a double-colored design embedded with lines and contours as if the artist had drawn each piece by hand. You can’t even tell the surface has been tiled - the thick lines in the design mask the seams of the tiles; it all appears as a solid surface.
The tiles are mostly geometrically designed, but some have floral patterns and they can be used for any type of application you can think up, flat or curved. Rich and luxurious in look and feel, the tiles can upgrade the image of any room or outdoor living space. And the designs are truly amazing, even dizzying at times. Use them for walls, bathtubs, sinks, columns, desks, and even staircase risers.
Decormarmi has been fashioning marble since 1962 and takes a very artistic approach with its products and projects. While they pride themselves on their work ethic and design specialties, they also give credit to the fact that they keep abreast of modern technology by incorporating state-of-the-art equipment into their design and manufacturing processes. The result can be stunning, like the 3-D Graffiti tiles, but luckily you don’t have to be wearing funky-colored glasses to see their affect.

Odd but true remodels
Very elegant and simple. I\'m not sure about siding the entire exterior of a home, but the interior wall treatment looks nice.
