Dezeen promotion: Dutch tile manufacturer Mosa has announced the launch of two new collections, Mosa Scenes and Mosa Solids.
Mosa has added eight new colour combinations to the Mosa Scenes collection, each of which is available in four different textures, ranging from rough grain to powdery soft clay.
First previewed at Milan's Salone Internazionale del Mobile in April, the range is available in variations of 15 by 15 centimetre base sizes and comes in two colour ranges.
The Cool group comprises white grey, cool grey, green grey and dark anthracite, while Warm includes mid beige, warm ochre, warm grey and dark brown.
Produced with flexible and adaptable design in mind, the tiles can be used on horizontal or vertical surfaces.
Available in 12 new colours including rust red, forest grey and earth brown, the Mosa Solids collection was created to be strong and functional, and features an easy-to-wipe, anti-slip finish as well as a ceramic skin.
The manufacturer suggests that the Mosa Solids range is suitable for use in heavy-duty areas such as shops, schools and hospitals, due to its durable nature.
Tiles are made in sizes between 15 by 60 centimetres and 60 by 60 centimetres, and each is made so that joints are subtle as possible.

Mosa Scenes
Dutch ceramic specialist Royal Mosa presents a new tile collection, Mosa Scenes. An elegant and versatile range, Scenes provides the perfect tool to create bespoke wall and floor colour gradations and a unique atmosphere akin to the effect of magnified mosaic that gives depth and richness to any surface.
The collection was created according to Mosa's signature style for flexibility and originality. These tiles can be used by colour group or in a combination of different groups, providing respectively a subtle or a more vivid, yet undeniably sophisticated effect, animated through the use of different tints, contrasts and graphic patterns. The collection is created in variations of a 15 by 15-centimetre base size and can be used creatively to produce endless design options.
Scenes also introduces eight brand new colour groups to the Mosa family – and four textures per colour – adding further variety and finesse to the well known company's already-rich product lines. Scenes includes four cool (white grey, cool grey, green grey, dark anthracite) and four warm colours (mid beige, warm ochre, warm grey, dark brown).
The Mosa Scenes range ensures diversity and style and can be applied equally well on both vertical and horizontal surfaces. The series' hardwearing structure and vivid, yet natural colour shades mean that Scenes is an ideal option for a large variety of spaces, from wet areas, such as bathrooms, to hospitality and retail spaces. The tiles' different textures vary from a powdery soft clay feel to coarser sandy and rough grain. These textures also create the effect of an elegant patina, cleverly designed to maintain an ageless aesthetic.
A thoroughly practical and affordable series, Scenes was launched to the market in June 2014.
Mosa Solids
Mosa Solids is a new, specially designed collection that balances functionality and strength with the established tile expert's renowned quality, elegance and natural look. This series' unique identity is enhanced by its luxurious appearance, created by a layering in both the tile's structure, resulting in its pleasantly tactile texture, and its colour, which gives depth and richness to the product. The Solids range's deliberately rougher appearance was specifically created to be a perfect fit for its palpably strong personality.
This robust and dynamic range can be applied to a great variety of spaces, due to its hardwearing and practical nature. Its sturdy build – the Solids range includes options in easy-to-wipe, anti-slip as well as flat finish – makes it a perfect candidate for use in both heavy-duty areas and the contemporary home. This is complemented perfectly by the series' strategic low-maintenance character. Additionally, the Solids range is designed to keep joints between tiles as discreet as possible.
The new collection consists of 12 brand new colours, which are added to the Mosa family's already-rich selection of colour tones. These include from basics such as vivid white, clay grey, agate grey, stone grey, basalt grey and graphite black to more refined shades such as sand beige, deep ochre, rust red, jade grey, forest grey and earth brown. Sizes are generous to match their efficiency and toughness, and range from 15 by 60 cm to a full 60 by 60 cm.
Mosa tiles are Cradle to Cradle Silver certified.
