VUELTA A LOS ORIGENES ZYX presents Metropolitain, a collection that invites us to travel back in time, evokes the past and makes up one of the great icons of ceramic design: the bevelled 'metro-type' tiles so characteristic of the Parisian urban environment of the early 20th century.

It is a piece with a retro touch that is turned right around thanks to the colour games, its eight graphics, and its multiple placement options. Metropolitain joins together the latest trends, colours,...

TEXTURES & MATERIALS For the conceptual development of this collection, we have searched for materials and textures. This work is the result of observing the latest trends in different sectors of design: decoration, interior design, furniture, lighting... Disciplines that affect ceramics and enrich it. They are also the tools with which our clients work; they are sources of information where they look for inspiration. The objective of Metropolitain was to start from an apparently simple element, the 'metro-type' tile, and to give it new material meanings. Somehow, thanks to the finishes and...

COLOUR For ZYX each collection is the fruit of a deep reflection on space and trends. This is why in METROPOLITAIN we wanted to add new colours to the classic tile. New colour schemes that together with the different finishes, multiply the creative possibilities to make each project special and unique. METROPOLITAIN presents its basic wardrobe: white and black and timeless colours such as grey or beige. Furthermore, it completes its palette of colours with petrol blue, turquoise, coral and Irish green, trend colours to get projects with their hallmark. Wood finishes inspired by Nordic...

STADION NORTHERN WOOD LI NEE STADION Leaving the stadium of Stockholm where the Olympic Games took place in 1912, we run into Stadion, a station that is a memorial of that event. Its wooden sculptures are a Nordic design reference, and it is where we looked for examples for this series. Saliendo del estadio de Estocolmo donde se celebraron los Juegos Olfmpicos en 1912, nos topamos con Stadion, una estacion a modo de recordatorio de este evento. Sus esculturas de madera son un referente del diseno nordico y es donde buscamos los referentes para esta serie donde la madera es la protagonista.
