A Year In Review, Looking Back At 2016

As 2016 comes to close, let’s take a walk down memory lane, looking back at our best moments. From the abstract SPLASH! revamp collection to a Tessera Demo at Microsoft Store, our 2016 projects spanned a wide range of styles, sizes, and locations.

Splash!

We’ll start the journey with our New Revisited SPLASH! mosaic collection.

The unique mosaic series, which presents stylized motifs of seaweed, rippling water, and calming beaches, draws inspiration from the ocean and surrounding landscape.

With 2 brand new designs (Rift and Serene) and new colorways, the collection’s enhancements personifies its oceanic style. Created by designers, Tony Nguyen and Ashley Trap, both were very excited to work on the new version of the collection.

“This revisited version of ‘Splash!’ extracts the best part of the collection and expands on it. With it’s abstract repetitious patterns and overall calming feeling, there is no question why ‘Splash!’ equates to a fan-favorite among our clients. With the new colorways and designs, we hope to provide even more favorite designs to our customers .”  -Tony Nguyen, Lead designer.
