Mary Katrantzou unveils colourful tile collection with Villeroy & Boch
Fashion designer Mary Katrantzou has teamed up with ceramics specialist Villeroy & Boch to create a range of tiles, showcased in this video published by Dezeen for the brand.
Titled Victorian, the collection features eight different themed sets of tiles. The range uses a bold colour palette of gold, white and black and many of the tiles are adorned with colourful butterflies.
A combination of digital printing techniques and traditional screen-printing methods were used to create each tile. A 3D effect was added to give a handmade appearance to each piece.
The collection was influenced by Victorian-era tiles
The range draws on Katrantzou's previous fashion collections, in which butterflies appear as a prominent motif. The designer notes that she featured the insect to communicate optimism and to explore the theme of metamorphosis. Katrantzou studied architecture before becoming a fashion designer and drew on her education for the collection.
"Both disciplines require an understanding of balance, symmetry and proportion," said Katrantzou in an interview with Villeroy & Boch Tiles.
Katrantzou's Autumn/Winter 2018 Collection also explored similar visual influences
"Having a harmonious balance between colour, pattern and form is just as important in interiors as it is in fashion," she added.
"On the other hand, being part of someone's home creates a feeling of permanence that?s very different to the very nature of fashion."
