Klinkers are wall tiles made from BROKISGLASS, a high-quality recycled glass material. They are characterized by their linear, minimalistic shape, making them highly adaptable for a wide range of architectural and interior design applications.
The design offers endless possibilities for a variety of traditional applications, including bathroom walls, fireplace surrounds, and other architectural features. However, its potential does not stop there; it also lends itself effortlessly to modern living spaces, making it an ideal choice for creating partitions between rooms, accentuating the ambience of open-plan areas, or even adding unique textures to feature walls.
Beyond residential use, BROKISGLASS is an excellent choice for the hospitality industry, where its sleek design makes a bold, sophisticated statement in high-traffic applications, such as bar tops, reception backwalls, and more. There is a unique richness to this material, one that blends functionality and aesthetic beauty into a single, modern solution, creating a lasting impression wherever it is used.
Klinkers embody a charm and sophistication that was popular in the design and architecture of the 1960s. In the context of contemporary design, the material presents itself as a perfect synthesis of elegance and robustness. Klinker tiles became famous through their use in various building designs, particularly in Milan. The use of klinkers became emblematic of a broader movement in postwar Italian design, known for combining functionality and beauty. Attention to materials and forms during this period helped define the style of those years, an era characterized by the search for balance between modernity and tradition.
