Pearlman Industries................................................................... 3310 Pearl PA10 10” Tile Saw

Pearlman Industries................................................................... 3310 Tuscan Seam Clip

NEW

NEW

The Tuscan SeamClip™ is an innovative one piece edge leveling system™ product that requires no installation tools, no soaking, and will greatly assist most anyone in the installation of stone, ceramic, marble, granite and some large format tiles. Its straightforward easy-to-use design helps creates a virtual lippage-free installation when used on floors or walls. The Tuscan SeamClip™ interlocks the tiles, creating a single flat slab surface while the setting material is curing. The interlocking design of the Tuscan SeamClip™ reduces, and in most cases eliminates, settling from shrinkage, as well as minimizing the possibility of warping. The Tuscan SeamClip™ reduces the need to re-lift tiles to add more mud and/or the process of shimming tiles; thus greatly increasing the speed of installation, all the while creating that much desired lippage free mirror surface.

TRENDS NEW TREND: RE.FOUND The Re.Found trend evolves from current trends exploring the desire to reconnect with nature. It is based on a new appreciation of raw materials, traditional skills and the ancestral wisdom of early civilisations, as well as addressing a growing yearning to feel more grounded emotionally and physically.

Take inspiration from the self-sufficiency, resilience and respect for nature of early tribes in order to create an aesthetic that is raw, untamed and primitive. Make space to acknowledge a glamorous twist, which is created by disrupting a primal living style with manmade materials, new manufacturing methods and technologies.

Influential architectural projects have a stacked-up structural approach, which in turn inspire product shapes that appear heavy and bold – think rock and pebble pile constructions, as well as drum shapes and fractured forms.

Textures are deep and authentic, in contrast to the perfect smoothness of modern technology. Surfaces appear as though they have been exposed to the elements –sun-faded, gritty, oxidized, heat scorched, cracked and flaking.

Metal, wood, stone and ceramics are combined and blocked together to create mash-ups that convey a sense of urgency, dynamism and brutal beauty. For pattern zoom in on the landscape – think bark, geological sediment layers and dappled light effects, as well as batik wax resists, woodblock printing, bleeding & bleaching techniques contrasted against tessellated and fragmented geometrics.

Harmony is achieved via the color palette which is presented in solid mono blocks, layered ombrés and fractal forms. Naturally intense cochineal, rich earth reds and complex teal tones enrich desert hues, whilst bronze, brass and copper deliver luxury and rusticity in equal measure.

NEW TREND: RE.TELL The Re.Tell trend reflects historical styles, whilst seeking out newness. It grants permission to indulge in guilt free luxuriousness and creates a design dialogue between the past and present through the combination of bold, pared down simplicity and rich ornamentation, resulting in an exquisite aesthetic that we describe as Hushed Grandeur. Sumptuous and intricate embellishments are grounded by a delicate color palette and product shapes that allow the reintroduction of glamour minus the ostentation.

TRENDS NEW TREND: RE.CONSTRUCT Re.Construct has strong scientific and technological influences, whilst addressing the desire to simplify our complicated and fast-paced modern lifestyles. Clarity, order and control are promoted via visually quiet spaces, counteracting the disorder and lack of control many people feel due to information overload and an uncertain economy. Re.Construct is well made, stylish and functional - the superfluous has been edited out and only what is required remains, creating a calm and reassuring sense of wellbeing and sanctuary. The look is restrained, utilitarian yet quietly elegant with an unspoken, underlying luxury. It projects a soothing simplicity, appearing solid, durable and dependable – this is New Minimalism.

Patterns are subtle, complex yet controlled with a logical and predictable structure that allows the eye to relax. North African and Middle Eastern design aesthetics gracefully merge through geometric patterns.

Designers are inspired by sleek architectural forms and simple lines. There is a pleasing contrast between solid and empty shapes and spaces as the void of sculpted emptiness is explored through colored blown glass, transparent fabrics and oxygenated forms. Organic structure is introduced through honeycomb constructions and lattice work.

Complimentary combinations of materials including marble; blonde woods; gritty concrete; nude nappa leather; rose and pale gold; copper and brass; colour tinted resin - together they ensure that the look is not cold or clinical and create pared down luxury.

A color palette of almost luminous yellow, pink and hazy lilac is grounded by opaque nudes, optical white and concrete grey.

Subtle changeant effects and clouded surface finishes create colors effects that silently merge and dissipate, absorbing and reflecting, adding newness to the palette.
