The Story
This Chicago medical office uses ARTO's handcrafted ceramic tile to give each room its own character. In the lobby, a wall of Studio 6x6 tile in a deep black glaze rises behind a low fountain, broken up by three tall panels of patterned deco tile. The reception wall is clad in 2x8 glazed brick in Suede, a soft gray-brown with a matte, sandy texture, set in running bond behind the practice's sign. In the break room, 2x8 glazed brick in Midnight Blue forms the backsplash, its rippled glaze catching light from above. A private office is lined floor to ceiling with Studio Arabesque Pattern 5B in Great White, the curved shapes adding quiet movement behind the desk.
