CHAPTER 16  •  Provence

Provence, in Southern France, borders the Mediterranean and is famous for wine, food, beautiful mountains, vineyards and fields of lavender. Chapter 16, Provence captures the motifs of this region with colors that are soft and versatile, mimicking the pastels made famous by renowned French painters.

The finish of Provence tiles are a satin matte smooth glaze with crackle properties, inspired by French heritage tiles known as Faience. They are available in a choice of modular field tiles, in Springtime, a pale green and in Autumn, a warm tan. Combine with heavily moulded décor pieces that will add dimension and personality to any design. Artisan glass liners reflect the subtle tones of the tile and are the perfect accent with matching architectural mouldings completing the collection.

Provence would enhance any interior wall application including kitchen backsplashes, tub surrounds, powder rooms, wine cellars or even hearth surrounds. The soft shades are very versatile and will endure the test of time. Field tiles are not recommended for floors or kitchen counters. They are however, wonderful for bathroom counters.
