Trapezoid tiles offer interior designers and architects the opportunity to experiment with innovative layout patterns, creating distinctive and modern environments. The isosceles trapezoid shape allows for a wide range of geometric compositions, expanding design possibilities.
The Trapez collection has a dual soul: one glossy, and one matt. But the most distinctive feature of the series (which we have already discussed here) is definitely its original shape: an isosceles trapezoid, a shape with a clear central symmetry and an inclination of the short sides permitting creation of a great variety of laying patterns, such as these.
Innovative geometric layouts
By considering the isosceles trapezoid as half of a hexagon or one-third of an equilateral triangle, designers can develop unique tiling patterns. For example, monochromatic layouts with clean lines can bring contemporary and minimalist designs to life.
Versatile color combinations
With 11 colors available in both glossy and matte finishes, designers can craft custom color pairings. Using two colors can emphasize hexagonal shapes, creating a visual interplay of positive and negative space, adding depth and character to any environment.

Use of two colours underlines the hexagon shape while creating a highly evocative alternation of solids and hollows.

3D effects and finishes
The combination of shape and color can produce illusory three-dimensional effects, adding dynamism to spaces. Additionally, blending glossy and matte finishes enhances the decorative potential, allowing designers to play with reflections and textures to enrich the overall aesthetic.
Playing with finishes: glossy and matte for unique effects
The alternation between glossy and matte tiles adds depth and dynamism to interior spaces. Glossy surfaces capture light, creating elegant reflections, while matte finishes offer a more natural and sophisticated look. By combining these two finishes, designers can achieve original visual effects, enhancing both layout geometries and the perception of space. This approach is perfect for those seeking a refined and modern design, with an extra touch of personality.
The Role of Grout in Design
Grout lines play a fundamental role in defining the layout scheme. Choosing tone-on-tone or contrasting grout colors can dramatically alter the final look, making grout lines an integral part of the design and helping to structure the space in a unique way.
Trapezoid tiles are a versatile choice for interior design professionals, offering endless creative possibilities. Experimenting with layout patterns, color combinations, and finishes can lead to the creation of unique and personalized spaces.
