Two special shapes drawn from ancient Islamic geometry are the basis of these new patterns - a hexagon and a bowtie – upon which are inscribed new aperiodic patterns. Every installation becomes unique as the pattern extends infinitely without repetition using just two tiles.

Fabricated in Morocco using a traditional encaustic technique, the tiles are crafted with dry pigments and Portland cement, giving the surface its characteristic softness and coloration. Because the tiles are formed under pressure rather than fired, shrinkage is minimal and hairline grout joints can be achieved. The pattern extends through the body of the tiles, which allows for sanding or buffing in the field to eliminate minor surface imperfections.
