INTRODUCTION
Client: Fireclay Tile
Type: Showroom
Address: 901 Brannan Street, San Francisco, CA 94103
Budget: 150 000 $
CONCEPT STATEMENT
Tiles are made to be seen on a surface, a wall, a floor,...
A surface, which can be seen as a frame of one compelling image. The concept Mix & Match shows the design of placing a variety of tiles, which creates one big picture
at the end. But it is a picture with edges and contrast, where you can find a playful
connection of colors, materials, shapes, proportions and the interaction of time ages.
Mix & Match is the patchwork idea of different contrasts used to emphasize the wide
design spectrum of the Fireclay Tile.

INTERIOR PERSPECTIVE SHOWROOM
The goal is to redesign the commercial space of the com- pany Fireclay Tile. The main focus lies on the
public showroom and two other semipublic or private spaces. The design should consider the company philosophy and sustainable solutions to solve the main disadvantages of the current space, which were mentioned in an interview with the employees.
MATERIAL DEVELOPMENT
DETAIL BOARD
The new design is a fan-like x- ture that can display up to 5 dis- play boards. We are going to re- use the existing tile boards.
The design saves space but also shows the variety of the tiles.
The new design is a table with sliding boards. Each board can show 6 smaller tile boards. The design is more user-friendly and gives the customer the opportunity to browse through the pattern and color variety of replay tile. This design saves lots of space while it still offers the presentation function.
