Ipanema is a contemporary tile with a deco tile that creates a “carioca” look – a particular path designed on chromatic compositions. Black and white tones of small stones found on Portuguese boardwalks were translated into close-ups. The pure geometry of the square or sinuosity of the mosaic that alters the scale and expands the beauty of famous “cariocas” sidewalks.
Ipanema field tiles are available in two sizes, including 48×48. Coordinating deco tiles create the patterned look of Potuguese sidewalks. The textured field tiles are good for use inside or outside.
