History has a great way of repeating itself through art, and never has this been more apparent than in the design and creation of porcelain tiles. With new technologies and talented creatives at the helm, these tiles continue to push the boundaries by reintroducing ancient practices into the 21st century.
We’re pretty lucky here at GT&B to have access to some of the world’s most daring, innovative, and timeless tile collections from around the world. And to think we can take a piece of ancient European history and place it in our contemporary homes on the other side of the world is incredible – and we love it.
Pulling from the brilliant minds of craftspeople before us, today’s tile designers have the ability to take us back into the heart of these places, allowing us to experience the grandeur of what once was (and likely still is).
A tribute to the timeless beauty of Venetian floors
Inspired by an art practiced since ancient times, NEWDECÒ celebrates the beauty of Venice’s terrazzo-laden floors. An emblem of elegance and refined design, NEWDECÒ gives a glimpse into high society and noble Venetian palaces, embodying all the traditions of timeless design. Now if you’re anything like us, you’re already transporting yourself into one of these palaces, marvelling in the beauty…and sipping on a prosecco.
Available in both natural and polished finishes, the six body colours are faithful to the tradition of Venetian laying and range from light, grey, orange, and dark variants. Two décor designs complement the body tiles and can be laid on the floor or wall to create a striking feature.
The large and chunky coloured fragments that make up the décor tile’s terrazzo pattern are a real-life dream. The creative combinations are not only sophisticated, but they make a scenic impact and would make anyone ‘ooh’ and ‘ahh’ at first glance. You should have seen us when the samples arrived in the showroom!
Maintenance-free application
You can have these glorious maintenance-free tiles in your home without the hassle of needing to seal them. Unlike natural stone or terrazzo, NEWDECÒ is surface resistant to wear from foot traffic, stains, and light – making it the perfect material for applications in the home, commercial spaces, or hospitality venues.
We don’t know about you, but these tiles are our newest obsession and we invite you to check them out with your own eyes by visiting our showroom. NEWDECÒ is not a stocked item and must be ordered in from Italy, so lead-times will apply to this range – but we think it’s worth the wait.
