Strange but True: Paw Print Tiles from the UK

October 31, 2012

The day that ceramicist Helena Seget’s pet rat skittered across a work in progress was a fortuitous one.

Fascinated by the organic design created from the accidental pattern of the scurrying paw prints, Seget realized that she had an indelible memory of her beloved pet. After she installed the tiles in her bathroom, she strangely never felt alone in that room again; to be forever inhabited by her rat’s “genius."

N.B. Helena Seget's "genius" was spotted at Tent London during London Design Week.
