Wood looks have always been immensely popular – the ‘IT’ look of most contemporary mood boards – but we have seen an uptick in the call for natural-looking wood ‘feels’ since lockdown hit in 2020. Not surprising, as we have all sensed the need for a connection with nature. This biophilic need has been answered by an extraordinary variety of wood looks; one of which is a delicate, pale Nordic blonde, beautifully reimagined by Spanish tilemakers Stylnul Ceramica (STN) in their ArticWood Ice Grey.

Each hue of wood can really transform a space, depending upon its colour value, and ArticWood Ice Grey’s cool platinum blonde look will give any contemporary space an airy, alluring, clean and calming aesthetic so loved by Scandinavian-inspired designers. Pale timber – from ashy to white – is attracting a great number of fans as it can be incorporated into a range of interior designs and projects with a neutral palette.

ArticWood Ice Grey is a high-quality matt porcelain tile that is stain resistant, chemical resistant and water resistant, developed to withstand both heavy impact and icy temperatures. 

Stylnul Ceramica (STN) and Italtile have enjoyed a longstanding relationship, as both companies share similar philosophies of innovation and technology, along with the relentless search for eco-chic and authentically inspired design. STN continues to refine its modernisation and is the 9^th largest tile manufacturer in the world currently, with world-leading quality, design and technology.
