Living in Black and White: Commune’s New Concrete Tiles

October 20, 2014

Dubbed the Native collection, Commune Design’s new cement tiles for Exquisite Surfaces take inspiration from Native American and Scandinavian textile and pottery patterns–and perhaps classic black-and-white comics, too. Ready to go two-toned? We are–and with very little else: These tile patterns (nearly) furnish a room.

Above: There are four patterns in the collection, and they each come in a range of colorways and are intended to be mixed together; they retail for $22 per square foot. Stockholm Zebra tiles are shown here on the wall and floor; each one measures 7 7/8 by 7 7/8 inches.

Above: Zuni Python tiles are also 7 7/8 by 7 7/8 inches. Like the other options in the line, they come in a matte finish but can be custom ordered in other finishes.
