Walker Zanger Translates Tiffany-Style Glass Into New Collection

August 26, 2009 By creatingyourspace 5 Comments

Chelsea Art Glass Tile Employs Hand-Cut Artisan Glass for an Updated Yet Classic Look
Louis Comfort Tiffany is best known for the art-glass renaissance he helped precipitate in 19th century America, and today his last name is synonymous with the museum-quality lamps and windows he created. Walker Zanger has transformed the unmistakable Tiffany look into the colorful Chelsea Art Glass Collection, a symphony of glass tiles that make an artistic statement whether applied in a master bath suite, kitchen, pool or spa.
The epitome of glass craftsmanship, the Chelsea Art Glass Collection offers Tiffany-inspired tiles that are hand-made by pouring marbleized glass into sheets, then cutting them into breathtaking mosaics. The colorful collection retains a warmth and personality that elevates it above more uniform glass tiles.
Two field styles are available for the Chelsea Art Glass Collection. The Artisan Field style is composed of small hand-cut mosaics, evocative of traditional Byzantine tile work. The Rhythm Field style is a striated, linear interpretation that imparts even greater emphasis to the rich color variations of the individual tiles. Both field styles are available in a broad palette of colors, with seven for the Rhythm Field and 11 for the Artisan Field. Colors are artisticallyblended and include such classic and versatile choices as Sand, Crème Brule, and Horn; as well as bold and vibrant options such as French Blue, the aptly-named Tiffany Green, and a lustrous Ultraviolet. The Chelsea Art Glass Collection combines the familiarity of a classic field with modern color choices, making it a perfect fit for both residential and commercial applications.

Walker Zanger Unveils New "Green" Tile Collection

August 17, 2009 By creatingyourspace Leave a Comment

WALKER ZANGER UNVEILS NEW “GREEN” TILE COLLECTION -New “Kesh” Tiles Continue Company’s Hand-Crafted Tradition Within the Context of Eco-Friendly Materials.

The new Kesh Collection from Walker Zanger, the world’s most comprehensive stone and tile company, re-imagines the traditional art of cement tile, creating a bold statement for floors, walls and outdoor spaces. The fresh and graphic designs blend the influences of many styles, but finds its primary muse in Mid-Century Modern and Hollywood Regency. Yet Kesh is also in harmony with the planet as the eco-friendly tiles are made with “green” materials such as cement and marble dust, and hand-crafted with the aid of low-energy manufacturing processes.

Borrowing from the traditional artisanship of Moroccan cement tile-making (the collection traces its name to the last syllable of “Marrakesh”), Kesh updates this traditional look in what has become a hallmark of Walker Zanger design reinvention. The Kesh Collection is available in a variety of motifs, including eight-by-eight inch field tiles, squares, hexagons, and four-piece Plus Plus
and round Wink Wink patterns. A traditional arabesque field is also available. The colors in this collection invoke old-world influence:
Kesh is available in tasteful combinations of Khaki, Palm, Crimson, Olive, Cream and Chocolate.

The beauty of the Kesh Collection is matched only by its eco-friendliness. Each tile is hand-made by master craftsmen, who combine cement with pigmented marble dust to achieve a matte finish that is subtly lustrous. Individual tiles are sun-cured, as opposed to
kiln-fired, which, by its nature, is considered a low-energy production method. So while the playful all-over-pattern designs of Kesh combine with its durability to make it applicable virtually anywhere, its “green” attributes support Walker Zanger’s commitment
to environmental responsibility—as well as the discriminating homeowner who employs it.

The Kesh Collection is now available through all Walker Zanger showrooms and authorized dealers.
