Subway tiles aren’t a fashion item. Bricks are everywhere, shaping modern buildings and old alike. Townhouses, bridges, shopfronts, schools, cafe bars, loft apartments just like the ones on TV.

Bricks give character to a building as an exterior finish, or as a stunning interior design, but we forget, the shape and style are part of the very fabric of construction.

Current trends have simply recognised the beauty of the shape and how versatile it can be when used in a tiling application. In these pages we select our brick tile options, not just for the brick shape, but the design opportunities an interlocking piece offers in so many settings. This section is also created to introduce the stunning Boston series: a porcelain tile that pays homage to the material that built the houses we grew up in, and allows us to recreate the safe feeling of the coarse red clay material that is rarely used as an interior finish and yet has such a stunning appeal.
