SEPTEMBER 24, 2019

Large patterns were an especially big deal at 2019 Coverings , where bold and decidedly vibrant looks captivated design enthusiasts.

Ukrainian artist Zhanna Kadyrova is re-purposing tiles in a way you have to see to believe. It started with second-hand tiles found in São Paulo in 2014 but she has since made use of tiles from Soviet-era buildings in her native Ukraine, decorated a mannequin with materials from Chernobyl, and most recently has used tiles from an old Venetian hotel to craft her masterpieces.
