Lunada Bay Tile is expanding its ocean-inspired Shinju ceramic collections, with the Stingray and Surf Rail patterns and Cape Pearl, a new color for both Shinju and Shinju Mirai.
Shinju (including Shinju Mirai, a larger format ceramic with sophisticated textures) is available in a range of textures in a palette of whites, greys and silvers and variegated metallic glazes. The textures and colors can be mixed for a modern effect or use singly for a refined mood.
Surf Rail is a rectangular three-dimensional tile while Stingray has a classic scallop shape. Cape Pearl is a new color for both collections and suggests the craggy gray exteriors of Pacific oysters. Other classic colors in the line include Kumamoto (white), Kushi (light silver), Moonstone (dark silver), Pacific (chocolate brown/bronze), and Olympia (dark copper).
Additional Shinju patterns include Tide, with a lined texture that reflects the rising and falling of the sea; Cambric Hex, with texture inspired by the ocean floor; Swell Mosaic, a mosaic of multi-sized tiles inspired by rolling waves; Crest, with a dimensional, slightly raised center across the hexagonal shape; Reef, a contemporary visual with a coarse texture similar to its craggy namesake; and Silhouette Mosaic, playful shapes within handmade ceramic tiles allow grout color to be another design element.
