A combination of travertine and mosaic tile was selected to create an Asian-inspired master bath — designed by Chris Boyce of Ancora Stone in Elm Grove, WI. The shower wall consists of 12- x 24-inch travertine tile with a brushed finish and the same material in 3- x 6-inch subway tile format forms the tub surround. Contrast is added with Medici Mosaics' Nova Roma Collection Amalfi Matchstick tile. To read more about this project as well as other kitchen and bath designs, turn to page 16.

A recent redesign of the Custom Comfort Mattress showroom in Beverly Hills, CA, included the addition of a “wave” wall formed by Modono glass tile. The 3- x 3-inch glass tiles were installed without grout in order to let as much light into the edges as possible — creating a surface that reflects the changing daylight.
