CONTEMPORARY CONCRETE TILES

CONCEPT

MANUFACTURING

he spirit at KAZA Concrete has been curious, intuitive,

functionally artistic and entertaining from the very

beginning; manifesting in the love and improvement

invested in what we create.

Things at KAZA dont change with fashion trends, because

good designs dont have a chronology, they all equally
capture the progression of time.
This is why we produce prescient ideas first, before we turn to
one of the most ancient and most contemporary materials to
realise those ideas. No other medium serves our philosophy
and aesthetic demand better than refined concrete.

nder the name Mystile KAZA Concrete presents a cross

section of contemporary artistic tile solutions. KAZA is

proud to offer the worlds first truly bespoke concrete tile

design system.
Applying a sensitive balance of artistry and technology, we
thrive to immerse into a dialogue with clients to design and
manufacture modular concrete surfacing solutions as objects
of art, through applied geometry and ornamentation.
The richness and diversity of contemporary tile art is conveyed
through examples from the entire spectrum of visual art:
sculpture, painting, graphics and installations.
The exceptional design freedom enabled by the combination
of material and technology serves as inspiration for every
creative individual.
This gave birth to our collection, always representing the
freshest tile designs together with previous timeless pieces. It
reflects each designers personal take on trends in their own
countries, but also developments on the international scene.

by Erica Wakerly

s a wallpaper designer, I look to create a sense of space

and dimension in an interior, using a flat printed surface. For

the design of the wall tiles I was, in contrast, excited to work with
the actual relief only. I stripped back any surface image, reflection

and colour, to retain a purity to the overall effect.

Each Form tile can be applied individually in a continuous repeat,
or in endless combinations with the other 3D Form tiles to create
a cohesive bespoke pattern.

he design of Button concrete tile was induced by an

experiment: it examined the development of a formation

system created by objects pressed into a rubber sheet. The rubber sheets own physical characteristics mould firm forms and
fine arcs impossible to reproduce by any other method. When

creating the form, the objective was to minimize human intervention and leave the emergence of design to the materials
themselves. The shape resembling a pulled-in button connects

to the base layer with perfect arcs. As an extra compositional

feature, additional dimension is added to the tile by a visually
confusing characteristic, namely it is hard to decide whether we
see a stand-out or depressed pattern from certain perspectives.
Throughout my work I seek beauty derived by noble simplicity.
Forms created in the designing process are handled as objects
resembling musical instruments that oscillate along the edges,
and keep the bounded surface stretched. This tension triggers
the atmosphere and voice suggested by the design object.

risp tile was born out of Levi Fignars enthusiasm for polygonal architecture. Despite planning the design to function as a supplementary

element of the space, be it a bathroom or a loft, at the same time it is also

empowered to attract attention through its visual effect. Refractions in

show. It intends to demonstrate the versatility the new concrete material offers

in terms of shape, texture, pattern and colour vis--vis traditional tiles. This debut

design received great reviews and has been featured in numerous design and
architectural publications. London reflects the trust placed in serendipity and
symbolises life as a floral meadow. It vitalises the surface day after day for many
years to come.

Zsanett Kincses | Since I was a child, to paint, fold, transform, shape, draw, or simply re-think, re-arrange
materials has always delighted me. My environment is about continuously changing objects, shapes and
colours which are related to each other. When there is an idea, I cant concentrate on anything else; the
whole outside world is going to turn off for a while. For me this is a complete peace of mind and much more.
I like to restore battered objects. I like interesting materials.
I live in Szentendre (City of Painters), and operate mainly as a graphic designer and try to become more
expert in 3D designing.

lorentins flower-motife comes from an old book about medieval

architecture and ornaments. It was decorating a wall in a monas-

terys cloister. These tetragonal, half-opened spaces were designed

for meditation and contemplationexactly the same idea evoked in me

observing the undulate but smoothed down lines of this flower.
I multiplied the pattern and eked out the interspaces with assimetric
rhombs to make a constant and telling marking.

The name, Florentinwhich can refer to the capital of the Renaissanceis also a male name with the concurrent meaning of flourishing,
thriving and considerable. It derivates from the tender flower but it
still stands for the shielding, eternal man. Just as the main character of
the Colombian writer Gabriel Garcia Marquezs novel Love in the Time
of Cholera, Florentino Ariza, who at the age of 80 enthralls his childhood
love. He is tenacious and steady but extremely gentlesimilar to flower
patterns cast in concrete.
