When it comes to Italian tiles, we’re floored. And turns out, these gorgeous patterns underfoot come with a rich history.
The trattoria was nothing special, but its floor grabbed my attention. After a day strolling the Mediterranean beach and cobbled lanes of Italy’s Sestri Levante, I was hunting for an
aperitivo when I saw it—a decades-old composition of hexagonal tiles with a diamond pattern in three colors that created an illusory three-dimensional field of cubes. That such a graphic statement was present in a timeworn trattoria, where sandy shoes and sloshed Negronis ruled, was unexpected. But in Italy, a country that has a long history of producing dramatic tile, it usually doesn’t take long to find inspiration underfoot.
