Andalusí
Hexagon formats are among the geometric shapes making a comeback, along with 1970s-era ethnic and handcrafted looks. Case in point: Realonda’s 11" x 13" porcelain Andalusí tiles, whose Moorish influences and hues evoke Mozarabic art. Perfect for floor and wall applications, the 28-pattern series coordinates with the company’s solid Opal collection.
