Rather than reproduce wood or concrete styles that are curently popular in the tile market, Bellavita Tile has created Archetype , a unique design that draws inspiration from various textures—from handwoven textiles to antique patinas of natural stone—and blends them into one cohesive composition using high-definition ink-jet technology. The units are available in 12” square, 12” x 24”, or 24” square sizes, and are usable on walls and floors.

Well suited to indoor walls and wet zones, such as showers, fountains, and pools, it comes in a field tile version in two sizes—2” x 6” and 6” x 12”, both 5/16” thick—as well as a 1” x 2” mosaic in a stacked pattern. A total of seven soft colors are available: azure, ecru, mist, oxygen, slate, smoke, and truffle (which features a gloss finish).
