Stone Clone
Unlike most quarried stones with their slabbish heaviness, alabaster has a sense of mystery about it. Its liquid-like veining, its translucent depth, its alternating smokiness and luminescence—all these qualities combine to make it one of my favorite materials. And here are all those traits transformed into a verisimilar porcelain tile, making what could be considered an impractical surface an accessible design element. rex-cerart.it

tho I bristle at faux finishes, in this photo the tile looks graceful and authoritative.
ReplyDeleteEven if this tile is inexpensive, the intended response from the viewer is to perceive it as ££££. So, this post's foto of luxury [alabaster] and poverty [re-purposed rusty junk] leaves me confused.
