Antica Ceramica, a trailblazer in tile design, has announced the launch of its latest innovation, the Flute Collection. Drawing inspiration from the classical fluted columns of ancient Roman and Greek architecture, this collection brings a fresh perspective to ceramic tiles, blending tradition with contemporary aesthetics.
The Flute Collection features a distinct ribbed or grooved texture, creating an interplay of light and shadow that adds depth and dimension to any space. These tiles are versatile and can elevate both residential and commercial interiors, making them a perfect choice for architects, designers, and homeowners looking to make a bold statement.
“We are thrilled to launch the Flute Collection, which captures the timeless elegance of classical architecture while catering to modern design sensibilities. These tiles are not only beautiful but also practical, offering versatility and durability that will inspire creativity in both residential and commercial spaces,” said Rahul Bhugra, Director of Antica Ceramica.
For homeowners, the Flute Collection offers a refined yet understated elegance. Popular applications include feature walls in living rooms, bedrooms, or entryways, where the vertical grooves of the tiles draw the eye upwards, making spaces feel more expansive. In bathrooms, they create a serene, spa-like atmosphere when used as full wall treatments behind bathtubs or as decorative backsplashes for vanities. In kitchens, fluted tiles provide a striking contrast to smooth countertops, adding a dynamic visual element. Around fireplaces, the textured surface captures light beautifully, transforming the hearth into a warm, artistic focal point.
According to company release, in commercial spaces, the Flute Collection has quickly become a favourite among designers for its ability to infuse personality into professional environments.
To maximize the impact of fluted tiles, Antica Ceramica recommends playing with lighting to enhance the dimensional effect, pairing the textured tiles with smooth surfaces such as marble countertops or glass fixtures for balance, and coordinating colours to either blend seamlessly with the decor or create a bold, focal point. Available in a range of colours, sizes, and finishes, the tiles in this collection are set at 600 x 1200 mm with a thickness of 10 mm, ensuring ease of installation and compatibility with a variety of spaces. Additionally, the collection incorporates non-slip textures, a critical feature for areas prone to moisture, combining safety with aesthetics.
