Jenni Kayne Home SoHo, New York

Jenni Kayne Home in New York's SoHo is floored throughout in ARTO's Italian Porcelain 8x12 in Grigio. Laid in a running pattern from the front doors to the back of the shop, the tiles have softly worn edges and a mottled gray surface that reads like old cut limestone. The cool, chalky tone sits easily with the store's whitewashed brick, pale plaster walls and natural wood shelving, and gives linen chairs, woven baskets and handmade pottery a quiet base. The same floor continues into a small powder room with a gray vanity. Because it is porcelain, the floor handles steady foot traffic from the street while keeping the relaxed, lived-in look of natural stone.
