VIBRANT NEW TILE COLLECTION RE-DEFINES THE 60S AND 70S
Walker Zanger Celebrates An Era With The Launch Of Vibe Mosaics
Sylmar, Calif., October 2, 2007—It was an age when the counterculture took center stage. Creative visionaries like fashion designer Emillio Pucci and interior designer David Hicks redefined the visual  world, and design-savvy enthusiasts embraced metallic-flocked wallpaper and green shag carpeting. Walker Zanger is proud to celebrate the bold and sassy designs of the swinging 60s and 70s in its all-new Vibe Mosaics Collection. Crafted of ceramic and porcelain, these designs put a new spin on the geometries and colors that defined the era, in rugged tiles that can be used for both walls and flooring and are durable enough to grace virtually any room of the home.
The fresh interpretation of the bold retro aesthetic is immediately apparent in each example in the Vibe Mosaics collection. Offering a myriad of patterns, mesh-mounted for easy installation, Vibe Mosaics offers styles like Odyssey (inspired by the legendary film “2001 A Space Odyssey”) and Andy (as in pop-art icon Andy Warhol), and colors like Shag Green, Powder Blue, and Boogie Brown.
Rather than simply mimic the retro look, however, Vibe Mosaics creatively build upon it, in signature Walker Zanger fashion. The collection is offered in three unique glazes, including a dramatic reactive crackle glaze which imparts not only a deep color, but also a “flashing” effect, replete with a pale blue shimmer. The collection is also available in a vibrant opaque non-crackle glaze and a striking non-crackle translucent glaze. Available in 10 eye-catching styles, and nine colors, Vibe Mosaics inspire the homeowner with the same creative freedom celebrated in the groovy 60s and 70s.
