Trove StoneGround Wallpaper

Trove StoneGround is a silky-smooth wall"paper" made from stone. Stoneground wall"paper" combines mineral powder (> 80% calcium carbonate) with a small amount (< 20% PE) of non-toxic resin to create an environmentally-friendly wall"paper" unlike any other.

StoneGround production process uses no wood products, meaning not a single tree has been cut down for its sake. It requires no water to produce, safeguarding the environment from additional wastewater pollutants. Thanks to StoneGround‘s fiberless make-up, printed images stay crisp and clean. Adding to its eco-friendly appeal, StoneGround requires 20-30% less ink than regular paper.

To create StoneGround, calcium carbonate, which is found in marble and limestone, is ground down into a fine, chalk-like powder that is sprayed onto a non-toxic resin base where it binds to create the "paper." Its construction refines previously coarse and raw materials to create a more delicate feel than paper, yet more durable than paper because it is water and tear resistant. At the end of its life, StoneGround can be recycled.

All of Trove's designs are available for application on StoneGround.

Walker Zanger Tatami Collection Tiles and Mosaics

Japanese architecture represents a dialogue between texture and light. What at first appears sparse and serious often reveals a fascinating vocabulary of textural details, as can be found in rice-paper shoji screens, bamboo fencing and woven grass floor coverings. Taking inspiration from this Eastern palette is the Tatami Collection from Walker Zanger: a graceful re-envisioning of Zen sensibilities in hand-crafted limestone tiles and mosaics.

The Tatami Collection plays to the strengths of Zen and Modern décors, and it is equally at home in any Modern or Spa setting. Reminiscent of the stylized, raked-pebble look of Japanese gardens, the Tatami Collection boasts detailed, hand-applied linear striations. These hand-crafted features give the Tatami Collection a warmer and more organic look than can be achieved with traditional machine tools.

The Tatami Collection is as versatile as it is elegant. The collection is available in three harmonious colors— Bone, Pearl and Wheat—as well as a variety of textures and sizes. These include delicate 2” by 2” square mesh-mounted mosaics; straight and offset ½” x 9” mosaics; and a brick-like Random Rectangle Mosaic. The Tatami Collection is also available in 4” x 12” tiles, and even bold 6” x 24” and breathtaking 12” x 24” tiles, sure to make a strong yet elegant statement in any application.

Wallquest Brasilia Wallpaper

The Brasilia wallpaper collection from Wallquest, Inc. is a luxurious take on organically inspired patterns. Drawing inspiration from leaves, grasses, tree bark and other natural elements, these papers are designed as Eco Chic by Wallquest. The process begins with carefully selected paper from suppliers who use pulp from well-managed, renewable resource forests or recycled sources. The production processes rely solely on solvent-free, water based inks. Any water used during production is professionally filtered and cleaned before it is returned to the environment.

The rich textures found in nature are reproduced through the use of special inks that raise the surface of the patterns for an embossed or etched texture and, combined with layers of metallic ink, create a juxtaposition of the natural with the opulent.

Climbing leaves and golden grasses evoke the landscape of the rainforest in an array of earthy tones, metallics and palpable finishes. Tree bark textures look and feel luxurious, and textural linens with metallic fibers form a look that is both high design and sustainable.

Brasilia is part of Studio 465, a wall covering collection inspired by the world’s greatest cities. In addition to Brasilia, Studio 465 includes seven lines – Milano, Buenos Aires, Athens, Stockholm, London, Prague and Vegas.

Fireclay Tile Claymonde Tile

Fireclay Tile Claymonde are exquisite sheets of ceramic color, developed through a proprietary ceramic rolling process that allows Claymonde to be ultra thin yet also a durable, futuristic, lightweight, straight-edged large format wall tile. The ceramic sheet rolling method makes the tiles close to perfectly flat (~1/4" thick), while the ceramic fiber in the clay body provides some flexibility to the tile so that they can be pressed up against a flat wall surface. Fireclay hand glazes all colored pieces with their natural, lead free glazes.

Careful craftsmanship and sustainable practices go into the glazing of the Claymonde tiles in Fireclay's Northern California factory. The glazes are made in-house and are lead free. All glaze over-spray is collected and recycled - any waste they do produce is inert and non-hazardous, as are the tiles themselves. The Claymonde glazing process is designed to minimize variation, thus enhancing the contemporary look of the product.

Claymonde is available in fourteen standard glaze colors with a sleek gloss finish that creates a shiny, semi-reflective sheen. Custom colors can also be created. Claymonde is available in two standard sizes - 5¾ x 35¼" and 11 11/16 x 35¼" - and custom sizes up to 3'x6' are available for orders over 600 square feet.

Claymonde is designed for both interior and exterior applications, and it is ideal for wall applications in commercial, residential, retail, and hospitality settings. So far Claymonde has been used on grocery store ceilings and walls, residential bathroom and kitchen walls, fireplace surrounds, and outdoor kitchens and mosaic designs.

Stone Forest Siena Adagio Chaise

Carved from one piece of rare silver gray Italian marble, the Siena Adagio Chaise Lounge is more sculpture than lawn furniture. Web-like inclusions run contrary to the horizontal veining inherent in the stone, giving the Siena a spirit that those who appreciate stone and marble have come to expect. When used indoors, it absorbs the ambient room temperature, and when used outdoors it will absorb only enough sun to warm you and cradle you in its sensuous, flowing form.
