Tiles

Gemss – enriched wood surfaces (Curly Resin mosaics)

Back Download

These tiles were developed to recreate the magic of onyx using wood. Polyester resin is combined with solid wood to create a mosaic. Its particular characteristic is that it appears to be backlit if placed on a bright surface. The composite material consists of 6 mm-wide, heat-treated slats made from end-grain wood. Due to their varied grain and the combination with resin, these slats create an unusual surface effect.

An interesting combination of materials together with a sophisticated production process lead to a dramatic aesthetic effect with a wide range of applications.
