NATURE'S TAPESTRY
With over 25 years of experience in the tile industry, Italian brand APE Grupo has pledged to promote wellness via its products and processes.
Four Seasons, one of its latest collections of porcelain tiles, took inspirations from nature for its subdued colours and textures.
Our favourite is the Tapestry motif, which features chalky pink, green and blue with a matte finish that goes well with biophilic design, as well as a fine texture that lends tactility to high-traffic surfaces like kitchen and bathroom.
The Four Seasons Tapestry collection from APE starts from $8.56per sq m from Hafary. Visit www.hafary.com.sg for more information.
