1. Ceramic tiles, Ceramics of Italy
Restaurants in North America are using colorful and striking ceramic tiles from Ceramics of Italy to dramatic effect. Barsa Taberna in Toronto, a Spanish tapas restaurant, features flooring in a black, red and white color palette created with tiles from the Ceramiche Refin collection. In Astoria, N.Y., Gossip Coffee opted for red and white houndstooth-patterned tiles for the floor, bar and walls. The tiles are part of the Bisszza’s Opus Romano collection. laceramicaitaliana.it/en
