Dezeen Showroom: Italian company Ceramiche Refin worked with artist Oliver Laric on large-scale porcelain stoneware wall coverings that change appearance depending on viewing angle.
The Metamorphoses tile grew out of a project that Laric and Ceramiche Refin presented at Milan design week 2025, involving 19 sculptures that reflected on the concept of transformation.
Now, the artist and company have evolved the experiment into a porcelain stoneware tile collection, translating the textures and themes from the installation into a ceramic surface with a lenticular three-dimensional structure.
Metamorphoses’ linear relief employs two different geometries and two different textures – one light and smooth, the other grainy and burnished – to create a surface that changes in appearance depending on where it is viewed from.
Light and reflection also add to the visual variation, creating a wall covering that brings great drama and sensory depth to interiors.
The tile is available in three metallic finishes – Bronze Earth, Copper Sand and Steel Rock – reflecting the materiality of Laric’s original sculptural works.
