Posted under Kitchens Tiles
We were approached by the client’s interior designer with this specific brief. Colour was important and the red of the Smeg stove was to be used all so subtly in the designs. The gray-greens of the cupboards set the tone for the abstract hand painted designs.
This is an image of the tiles packed out on a template at the studio and then visualized for the clients by Gillian Greer, our graphic designer, by blending it with an image of their present kitchen.
Here is a close-up of a bluish version.
It will take some time, to receive and proses the final installation images, but this will be a one of a kind kitchen like not seen in South Africa before and surely be worth waiting for!

Creative minds at work here, again! I love this modern design and since it is still only a template dare I suggest something? Is it still possible to put a tile like the ones in the centre of the panel with the black and oval rings around, in the very left corner above the plugs? I feel it will give just a very little more balance to the whole panel. Hope you do not mind my interfering with what is in fact a perfect panel - with or without my addition!

No we do not mind at all, the image is only a mock up of what it might look like … and the client might move tiles around … a panel as original as this has it’s own life and each person viewing it will relate differently to the panel.
Some of the art tiles will probably need to be cut if moved to the edges or to around the switches … and this can work as well, but we leave it up to the client to decide.
For clients at the pre-design state of their kitchens, remember to position the switches on sidewalls or in-bedded in the topping.
