Translucent porcelain tiles with a textile relief

With the tex-tiles Studio Barbara Vos has designed unique porcelain tiling suitable for any space, from office to sauna, hotel to wellness centre, kitchen and bathroom. Barbara Vos has combined translucent porcelain with the softness and texture of lace and other fabrics.


Fabrics in tex-tiles

 The inspiration for these tiles came from many different fabrics that designer Barbara Vos has worked with over the years. Barbara wanted to capture the soft movement of fabrics in the hardness of a ceramic tile. 


Back light

Subtle lighting can be added behind the tiles, which shines through. It reveals the beautiful imperfections and movement of the tex-tiles.


Porcelain versus earthenware

Most tiles are made of earthenware. ‘Tex-tiles’ are made of porcelain. Porcelain by itself is 100% waterproof. Porcelain is normally used to make delicate tea cups and other fine tableware. 


Glazing or not?

Because of the waterproof quality the tile does not need any glazing which makes it very special and different from other tiles. The tiles are polished by hand which gives them an unexpected soft feeling. When wished, the tiles can be glazed.
