MIES VAN DER ROHE INSPIRES ROCA’S MID-CENTURY MODERN BATHROOM TILE COLLECTION

Surrender to this new bathroom tile proposal that evokes the iconic architectural works of the early 20th century.

Mounts of geometric precision and sinuous veins of great luminosity in a collection of Mid-Century Modern bathroom tiles with which Roca pays tribute to one of the most important architects of the twentieth century, Mies Van der Rohe, and to his pavilion in Barcelona. Converted into one of Barcelona’s emblematic cultural facilities, the building, built to represent Germany at the 1929 Barcelona International Exhibition, is a masterful combination of concrete, steel, glass and marble in perfect proportions. As a tribute, Roca has chosen five ceramic pieces that combine the surprising natural finishes of stone with the maximum performance of porcelain. A composition with a wide range of chromatic possibilities designed to give singularity and elegance to any ambience. Inspired by ancient sites from Asia, Africa and Europe, these bathroom tiles play with the nuances of light to generate a sensation of balance, solidity and serenity.

The striking exoticism of Saint Tropez

From geographical points as far apart as India, Turkey and Italy, the shades of the rocks have been selected to evoke the darkness of the sea with striking green, black, brown and grey veins. An exotic combination whose result is a very fine 7 mm thick polished porcelain tile. In 120 x 250 cm tiles, Saint Tropez brings sophistication to bathroom spaces.

Topazio, floor to ceiling gloss

Rajasthan green marble is the essence of the Topazio series in which jade tones and ochre veins are delicately integrated. A fascinating interplay of natural stone variations that has been transformed into 7 mm thick bathroom tiles. Thanks to the possibility of floor-to-ceiling installation with imperceptible joints, these 120 x 250 cm tiles flood an entire room with their brilliance.

Marble Nouveau, the uniqueness of the golden vein

The result of a fusion between Renaissance gold leaf and ancient Egyptian lapis lazuli, Marble Nouveau gives the space an exquisite elegance and depth. A stark contrast between the indigo and cobalt tones and the natural golden grain, this series is available in porcelain tiles measuring 120 x 120 cm and 7 mm thick.

Natural iridescence on Marble Goya

The unique lines of onyx stone, the light of agate and the beige tones of alabaster are combined in a bathroom tile of great visual richness. In harmony with nature, the Marble Goya series recalls the shimmering iridescence of the oyster and the solidity of a polished rock, thanks to its 8.7 mm thickness. In 60 x 120 cm tiles, this porcelain series floods the space with luminosity.

Marble Notre Dame, vibrant travertine

Delicate lines in various shades ranging from beige to honey make travertine an ideal material for the manufacture of porcelain pieces of great subtlety. With a visual play of shades that reflect natural light, Marble Notre Dame is a polished porcelain tile 8.7 mm thick. Bathroom tiles of 60 x 120 cm that integrate into the design of warm and cosy atmospheres.

In addition to its exclusive designs, the Mies Van der Rohe-inspired collection also stands out for its environmental commitment. In each series, at least 25% of components from recycled materials have been used to transform the best materials into brilliant Mid-Century Modern bathroom tiles.
