Designer

Bluebottle’s designs have an element of discovery and the studio wanted to bring this to the cover design. “As interior architects we’re given a defined space to work within. To evolve a design that reaches beyond those limitations is one of our challenges. Our spaces are built up as a layering of materials and colours and we enjoy finding the contrast that shows off a material. Karndean’s collection is designed to give a timeless look and sense of quality – we wanted to nod to its origin: stone quarries and their illusion of scale.”

Manufacturer

Karndean has introduced its finest collection of statement stone and wood designs. Elevating flooring to an artform, the new Art Select range features 39 brand new designs, inspired by some of the most exclusive materials from around the world including marble onyx, Ceppo di Gré, oak and ash. As seen on the front cover of this issue of Mix magazine, onyx is unsuitable for flooring in its natural state but we have reinterpreted the pearlescent magic of this semi-precious stone into three luxurious designs; Rose, Pearl and Black Onyx.
