Bisazza Collection
Bisazza has launched its new Cementiles collection, the first output from a new collaboration with British designer Tom Dixon. Inspired by London's architectural landmarks, the range includes varied designs Void, Skew, Duct and Grit.

Bisazza Collection

Dixon says: 'London -- our home city -- provides all the inspiration we need for this new collection of surfaces; the building blocks and the textures of this thousand-year-old city are imprinted in this designer's mind.

'Bricks of red clay, cracked pavements and pebbledash walls -- the signatures of a crumbling capital in constant reinvention -- are reworked in a graphic, pop-art style to suit the simplicity demanded by the century-old tile manufacturing process.' bisazza.com

Lithos
Lithos Design has added three new textures and lighting options to its Le Pietre Incise collection, designed by Raffaello Galiotto.

Formica
