High-quality tiles with delicate colors and patterns painted on their surface
The tile collection, designed and supervised by the American-based artist Doug Meyer, began with a meeting between Mr. Kasai, chairman of X-iS, and Mr. Meyer in October 2002.
'Shiro Tile,' created from his exceptional sense of color and minimalist aesthetics, embodies a world view that is both meticulous and refined. Guided by the concept of 'timelessness,' the tiles aim to delight both sight and touch with their colors and textures, enhance the environment, and transcend time to be cherished across generations.
Tiles from collections like the matte range, where delicate glossy glaze lines create a sophisticated impression on a matte base, offer colors and spaces that are truly unique. They are infused with a positive sensibility, designed to enhance the enjoyment of daily life. It can be said that this collection seamlessly blends Mr. Meyer’s design vision with X-iS’ expertise in picture tile production and tiling techniques, maximizing our company’s strengths.
