Distortion by Gruppo Bardelli: Iconic Design and Unmatched Versatility
The Distortion collection by Gruppo Bardelli redefines ceramic design with its bold aesthetics and innovative craftsmanship. These porcelain stoneware tiles feature a unique super-opaque finish, achieved through advanced no-reflex glazes. The design reinterprets Seletti's iconic black-and-white patterns, taking inspiration from the mesmerising works of Maurits Cornelis Escher. Known for his paradoxical perspectives, hypnotic patterns, and perceptual illusions, Escher's influence is evident in the collection's ability to create captivating optical effects and perceptual "distortions."
Versatile Design Possibilities
Ideal for flooring applications, Distortion's optical effects come to life through a creative combination of two tile formats: 14x14 cm square tiles and 14x24 cm rhomboid tiles. These tiles, pre-mounted on fibreglass mesh, allow for seamless installation while enabling a broad range of customisable compositions. The classic lady motif is transformed through these unique geometries, offering endless possibilities for creating surprising and sophisticated visual effects in any space.
The collection caters to designers and architects seeking distinctive, high-quality materials for projects that demand a blend of innovation and artistry. As a user-friendly feature, the 3D files for the tiles are available for download, making it easy to integrate Distortion into project visualisations and ensure precise design execution.
