Wonder is the most recent ceramic wall tiles collection from Love Tiles. This collection meets the current trend towards volumetric surfaces and 3D effects. Inspired by geometric and three-dimensional shapes, these wall tiles provide a dynamic scheme of volume and light to a space. The sense of volume results from embossed geometric patterns, with contrasts of light and shade that provide movement and a very special texture to wall coverings. This is a collection that confers modernity to any space, making it unique.
