While “extra-mile service” is one of the pillars of The Italtile Way, we can all do with a reminder. We can all do better. Today, on Mandela Day, we remind ourselves to keep walking the path Madiba, a humble servant of his people, forged for us. To keep in our minds and hearts the need to do what we can in our own communities to help ease poverty and inequity. Let’s get involved as active citizens. What will you do with your 67 minutes today to help make life more beautiful for all?

3-D glazing and remarkable digital printing are working together to develop incredible tile surfaces. We’re seeing finishes that look every bit as real as the materials they mimic – wood, alpine stone and marble – enabled by techniques like Endless and Carving. Endless creates a continuous pattern from tile to tile, no matter which way they’re laid, while Carving uses a textural glaze to create ultra-tactile surfaces.

Minimalism helped instil a sense of order during the whirling chaos of those endless COVID days. The trend of paring down to the bare essentials brought much-needed focus. But perhaps it all got a tad too stark? Then, the design pendulum swung, and 2024 ushered in Warm Minimalism: where the bare-bones ideals of Minimalism are softened and smoothed with earthier tones and textures.

Quiet Luxury and its hush-hush kind of lush was the palate-cleanser we all needed after the dizzying blast of logomania. The fashion world and its twin, interior design, developed a taste for a simpler, less shouty luxe. But like any pendulum swing, perhaps it veered too far into sterile territory. We have it on good authority that Quiet Luxury is settling into a more relaxed, lived-in and casual vibe. An aesthetic we’ve supported for decades, as it happens.
