stl by ben oostrum from netherlands

designer's own words:

Fed by our fascination for modularity and inspired by the traditional bevelled edged tiles, the STL plays with light and shadow. The STL is named after "Standard Triangulated Language". Among CAD systems the .STL suffix is used for standard triangulated geometry files.
The STL, a 15x15 cm modular wall tile, is one of the designs we like to enter for the100% tiles contest.
Our aim was to create a simple formed tile with a large scope. With the STL you can choose for placing the tiles at random or according to a rigid grid with which you can create shapes in the pattern.
Because of its outspoken design, the STL won't only be applicable at usual places for tiles, as kitchens and bathrooms, but will especially be applicable at bars, reception spaces, hallways and other representative spaces.
The STL is a machine-stamped tile which can be glazed in a wide variety of colours and glazes.
