THE BOTANIC WORLD comes alive in this fine art–inspired collection by designer Paula Purroy. A variety of materials, including glass plus real silver and gold, are applied to the oversized tiles, which are fired between every application. While there are high-tech aspects to production, artisans are involved in selecting colors and materials, creating expandable works of art with the lifelike look of a painting or mural rendered in porcelain.
It comes in 24 by 48–inch tiles, $48.95/sq.ft.
