Italian company Evit has great ideas for tiles, that much is clear with its new collection, appropriately dubbed “Passion”. The fluid pattern makes these tiles perfect for the bathroom backsplash, and they make a gorgeous backsplash in the kitchen as well. But beyond the expected, these unusual tiles make an unexpected impression in any room: the foyer, living or dining room, and even as a feature wall in the bedroom. These chic glass tiles come in every color of the rainbow, so you can customize the look to suit your style. Available in 300-by-200-mm and 300-by-100-mm sheets, these tiles are super easy to install but look like they’re the masterpiece of a true artist – a true Passion!

Designer Paula Orsoni has created and patented a new type of artistic tile that totally transforms wall and floor coverings. Due to their unique method of industrial firing, these modern glass tiles are hot – ironically – with a distinctly “icy” look attributed to their balance of color and light. In another design, metal and plastic pieces are inserted, giving them their one-of-a-kind shapes and patterns. This finishing has also been done on furniture and objet d’art, in addition to turning walls into glossy masterpieces. Either use these artistic tiles as punchy accent pieces among other tiles, arrange them in groups or even customize entire walls and floors – it’s completely up to you. Express yourself! Check out these glass tiles by visiting Paula Orsoni.

Slightly reminiscent of a cartoon speech bubble, we love this funky TV stand by Tonincasa. No matter what the TV is saying, the Opera will always get a standing ovation. This pop art-inspired piece is available in lacquered or matte black and white – a classic look that complements the trendy design. An internal cable passage means no wires and no mess. Another cool feature about this contemporary TV stand is that it rotates on a chic chromed base – so you can catch your favorite shows at any angle. A tempered glass shelf in black or white stores your DVD player in style. Go to Tonincasa for more information.
