Vicenza’s Bisazza, a noteworthy flooring company, launched their latest collection, Wood, this past November. The collections, designed by Edward Van Vliet, Kiki van Eijk and Studio Job, were more than simply innovative. The designers, all hailing from different places and expressive backgrounds, played with colours, shapes, and unusual combinations, some inspired by other materials. Edward Van Vliet used natural wood and aniline blue to recreate the look of octagonal ceramics. The ever-surprising duo from Antwerp, Studio Job (Job Smeets e Nynke Tynagel), created a 3D effect through various shading. Kiki Van Eijk created compositions of wooden octagons, in tones that range from maple white to chestnut’s dense brown, decorated with floral engraving. St. Petersburg’s Hermitage shows us that traditional wood flooring is the key to valueable and original décor.
