Tres Grises Hexagon Kitchen

In this kitchen, ARTO's handcrafted Artillo Hexagon tile in the Tres Grises blend covers the working core of the room. Three shades of gray, from pale cream-gray to deep warm gray, are mixed at random across the floor, so no two areas look the same. The hexagons run around a dark island and along gray cabinets, a stainless range and a white subway tile wall, then break off in a staggered, uneven edge where they meet the dark oak flooring of the dining and sitting areas. The same tile continues under a wood bench and coat hooks by the back door. Up close, the concrete shows soft clouding and fine surface marks that come from making each tile by hand.
