Tile manufacturers find inspiration
everywhere – from fashion, upholstery
and wallpaper – to furniture, media
and even electronics.
Here’s how Tile of Spain is taking that
inspiration and making tile that is
distinctively unique:
• Technology: integrated photo luminescence and home
automation into tile, touch sensitive glazes, nano technology
that makes tile warm to the touch and tiles
that clean the air.
• Trending colors: black and white, chilled out
cool tones, contrasting reds and metallics.
• Vintage patterns and well loved looks.
• Textures: No longer are tiles just flat, they
have depth and movement to them.
Now, specifying Spanish tile is easier than ever!

New York, and are made from locally-sourced materials. Wood options
include sustainably-sourced maple and walnut, southern yellow pine
reclaimed from buildings demolished in New York State, and ipe wood
salvaged from Coney Island and Atlantic City boardwalks. The
designers have also experimented with wood from water tanks
and wine barrels.
Available in lengths from one to six feet, Stickbulbs are modular.
Freestanding formats (1) include linear Table and Floor Torches, and
a quirky line of floor lamps—dubbed Little Bang, Middle Bang, and
Big Bang—which combine multiple Stickbulbs held together at a
