The Runway Collection is inspired by centuries of iconic fashion design from the houndstooth pattern to the corsets worn by generations of women. The tile collection is available in various patterns such as, Cravat, Corset, Chaine Homme and Chaine Femme. Each of these patterns is available in any of Fireclay’s 224 vibrantly hued, lead-free, all-natural ceramic glaze colours.
Chaine Femme was created from the images of interlocking chains in jewelry, watches and belts of classic women’s collections while Chaine Homme can be described as the masculine version of this same idea. Corset was inspired by corsets as well as the lace-ups on espadrilles and other dramatic footwear. Cravat, which is French for “necktie,” is an interpretation of the houndstooth pattern. According to LaPlante, it is “the most classic of all patterns, transcending both gender and trends throughout the ages”.
In keeping with Fireclay Tile’s sustainable credentials, The Runway Collection is available on either the Debris Series Recycled Tile or Vitrail Series Handmade Tile clay bodies. Tiles can be ordered per square foot, with blends available in a maximum of three glaze colours.
The Runway Collection is available through Fireclay Tile’s network of dealers throughout the US and Canada, and directly through Fireclay’s San Jose, CA Factory Showroom.
