Leading Dutch surface specialist Mosa knows that the choice of materials can be what transforms a good design into an outstanding one — especially when it comes to picking out a material as versatile as the ceramic tile. For over 130 years, Mosa continues to create tile collections that not only look good, but are also guaranteed to perform well. Mosa's expert craftsmanship can be found in one of their latest tile collections, Mosa Solids, available in the U.S. starting this December.

Although the Maastricht-based company has been around since 1883, their collaborations with today's architects and designers keep the company in touch with the current needs of the industry. For starters, Mosa's entire tile collection is the first in the world to earn full Cradle to Cradle Silver certification.

The Solids collection combines hard-wearing durability with a smooth elegant appearance to spruce up a variety of spaces. Designed to handle the hustle and bustle of modern everyday life, the Solids collection can be applied in busy places like shops, stations, hospitals, schools, and the contemporary home.

The tiles come in various sizes, up to a generous 60 x 60 cm. They're available in 12 colors to help designers create the right atmosphere. Earthy shades include vivid white, stone grey, sand beige, jade grey, clay grey, basalt grey and graphite black, while more intense hues include deep ochre, forest grey, agate grey, rust red, and earth brown. Each tile type also features its own texture to subtly add more richness. The textures are created by layering spray-dried granules and a mixture of fine and coarse flakes.

 As with every Mosa tile collection, Solids tiles are designed with low-maintenance Smooth and anti-slip Micro-Relief surface options. Equipped with the company's trademark long-lasting quality and timeless aesthetics, Mosa Solids were made for the well-rounded designer.
