Walker Zanger is pleased to announce the expansion of one of its most successful and timeless collections, Studio Moderne Stone. Created by noted interior designer Michael Berman, the Studio Moderne Stone extension features four new profiles in 10 variations. The new designs further develop the collection’s homage to the spirit of American modernism, reflecting the Art Deco and Hollywood Regency movements.
Named after the California college town noted for its bungalow architecture, Claremont is an updated hexagonal bungalow tile with stylish form and timeless function. With the Monarch design, Berman utilized an interlocking octagon-and-square design reminiscent of the regal looks of European chateaux, hence its royal name. The profile Parliament is named after the Houses of Parliament in Europe and features an elongated linear rhomboid.
The tile patterns are fabricated into geometric shapes by water-jet, cut from selected slabs of fine marbles sourced in Europe, carved from solid blocks then meticulously hand-finished. The Studio Moderne Stone extension is a part of the new Curated Elegance collection by Walker Zanger, which includes three tile collections that take natural stone to a new level of grandeur.
