DIN BY KONSTANIN GRCIC
The DIN collection is a line of mosaic tiles for walls and floors, introduced in 2021 by the German designer after 6 years of collaboration with Multina (starting in 2015). According to him, the tile is the most minimal component unit in an architectural grid system, bringing a unique aesthetic effect of “box in box,” creating depth and flexibility in space.
The DIN collection offers a wide range of colours and two sophisticated finishes: Glossy White, Matte Red, Matte Light Green, and Matte Dark Blue. Available in Pearl Matt and Iron Matt finishes, the tiles are available in four standard sizes: 15x15 cm, 7.4x15 cm, 7.4x7.4 cm, and the smallest 3.6x7.4 cm, connected by 2 cm joints. Thanks to this feature, customers can easily combine different formats, colours and textures, creating unlimited creative potential to suit different requirements for walls and floors.
DIN also has the ability to develop in the third dimension, opening up many unique effects for architectural space. The space when decorated with dark blue tiles brings depth and tranquility to the homeowner.

YOKO COLLECTION BY WOW
Another mosaic tile collection called YOKO from the WOW brand evokes a delicate and meaningful beauty. The name “Yoko” is common in Japanese culture, associated with the sea and nature, and conveys the poetic nature of the land of the rising sun. The collection is inspired by the art of Origami, a symbol of delicacy and fragility, to celebrate the beauty in its simplicity and depth. Origami is not only an art form, but also a way to find concentration, tranquility and stimulate inner creativity.
YOKO tiles simulate the characteristic folds of origami paper, highlighting the light effect through the gentle shifting shades on each edge when interacting with the crystal glaze, creating a shiny, unique and attractive surface for the architectural space. When applied to architecture, Yoko with blue tones not only recreates the delicate beauty of traditional art but also brings elegance and grace to the material, enhancing the harmony and uniqueness of the space.

I LONG FOR BY DECASTELLI
Mirrors are not only objects that reflect images but also have deep symbolic and psychological meanings for people. For users, mirrors are tools that help self-identify, maintain personal awareness and the surrounding space. In interior design, mirrors can not only make the space larger, but also become aesthetic highlights when combined with diverse materials and shapes, contributing to elevating the space and bringing an artistic and deep visual experience to users.
The “I Long For” mirror collection from De Castelli fully embodies the profound and meaningful elements of mirrors in interior spaces. The name “I Long For” evokes an inner longing, true to the self-reflective and contemplative function that mirrors bring to users. The outstanding feature of this design is its subtle innovation: the mirror is slightly oversized, with a deliberately asymmetrical border, bringing a unique appeal and charm to the space.
The distinctive highlight also comes from the surrounding metal frame, a slightly concave design in the middle and a variety of rich oxidized color options. These tones create a unique reflective effect, combined with light to evoke emotions, while highlighting the deep presence and desire of the person being reflected. This collection is not only an item but also a work of art, contributing to honoring the sophistication and richness of the living space.
