LIGHT-INTERACTIVE TILES: THE NEW VOGUE FROM MILAN

Light-interactive tiles are an interior material trend recently launched in Italy earlier this year, promising to unlock a new paradigm for elevating light within living spaces.

Approaches to Integrating Light with Interior Materials

Light serves a purpose far beyond mere illumination. It possesses the power to decorate, accentuate, and modulate emotions. The versatility of light poses a challenge: How do we connect it with interior materials to create a harmonious whole that conveys the desired emotion to the homeowner?

Architects often employ louvers or ventilation blocks to layer and regulate light. Subsequently, they must curate the surrounding space so the emotional impact of the lighting achieves the intended effect. When light interacts with materials such as wood or velvet, it softens and warms, creating a sense of comfort and ease. Conversely, materials like high-gloss tiles render light more radiant and luxurious. Many interior designers further upgrade their lighting design using translucent stone. With its impressive surface, translucent stone transforms light into a statement piece that expresses personality.

A Novel Method of Connecting Light and Matter

The fact that homeowners invest in materials that interact with light demonstrates their strong interest in this aspect. However, despite this robust demand, the global market has lacked materials capable of actively interacting with light.

To create a product that possesses both the distinctive patterns of translucent stone and the ability to capture light across a vast surface like polished tiles, an Italian tile manufacturer explored unique gemstones such as Labradorite and Amber. They sliced through crystal layers to study the stones' light-scattering properties, then sought to reproduce them using state-of-the-art printing techniques. From this process, a new product line was born: Light-interactive tiles.

The unique characteristic of light-interactive tiles is their resemblance to a slab of translucent gemstone. In reality, this is a visual effect generated when external light strikes the surface. Notably, the aesthetic of the tile transforms spectacularly depending on the viewing angle, offering shifting color spectrums and varying depths. This makes the space feel dynamic, luxurious, and truly one-of-a-kind.
