The New Brick

A timeless classic is getting a contemporary twist, as manufacturers find inspiration in brick for tiles and wallcoverings. Materials as diverse as onyx, steel, glass and porcelain play with scale, color and dimensionality. Vinyl wallcoverings printed and embossed to look like painted or aged brick create a cheeky trompe l'oeil effect. Classic ceramic bricks feature unusual visual effects, including exaggerated iron spots, worn color and metallic finishes. From sleek glamour to raw and earthy textures, a brick exists for every style.
