Lunada Bay Tile has added a new color and two new patterns to its line of Haisen glass tiles. While this collection is reminiscent of the decorative bowls originally used to wash sake drinking cups during the late Edo to Meiji period in Japan, today “Haisen” recalls vessels that display flower petals floating in water. Lunada Bay Tile‘s distinctive Haisen tiles are handcrafted by melding streams of colored glass that drift and unite in a multitude of hues. The swirl and flow of color create transformative moods ranging from quiet and meditative to warm celebration and camaraderie.
The dramatic-yet-soothing effect is very evident in the collection’s latest color, Starlight. Inspired by the gray value scale that artists and photographers use, the color pattern starts with light gray tones and transitions to very dark charcoal tones. The medium tones along the way contain hints of tan and copper.
In addition to Starlight, two new patterns are available: 1 x 1 Offset, a basic but versatile option, and 1 x 2 Brick, with a larger size that further showcases the tiles’ color movement.
The Haisen Collection includes three other patterns—Barcode, 1 x 4 Brick, and 1 x 4 Herringbone. Seven other colors are available: albicant, light walnut, sorrel, aqua, azuline, teal and steel.
Each color is available with a natural or silk finish.
