Patricia Urquiola’s Striking Terra-cotta Tiles Suit Any Space
2023 Best of Year Winner for Architectural Material
Jali is the Hindi term for a light-filtering latticed screen carved of wood or stone. The earliest examples in Delhi, India, circa 1300, feature geometric patterns, while later artisans tended toward intricate botanical designs, as at the Taj Mahal. Patricia Urquiola’s spin is a three-dimensional glazed or unglazed terra-cotta brick for Mutina with decorative circle cutouts that evoke the essence of Indian architectural beauty while retaining her characteristic soft minimalism. Jali’s 9.5-inch square tiles measure close to 5 inches deep and can be used for partitions or other elements, indoors or out (hence the award for Architectural Material). Place the blocks vertically, horizontally, or a combination thereof, in straight or staggered runs. Through Stone Source. stonesource.com
