The original rectangular 3×6 inch, ‘hygienic white’, ceramic tile was first used by American Arts and Crafts movement artists Heins and LaFarage in 1904 to enhance the walls of the New York subway system.
Subway tiles have a long history in public places and are now popular particularly in contemporary bars and restaurants for their ability to evoke big-city turn of the century charm.
ALLOY brings the Subway tile squarely into the 21st Century in a striking array of solid metal finishes. Immaculately designed with finely rounded edges and crafted from a single sheet of the highest quality 1.6mm thick metal, the Subway tile is available in all of ALLOY’s high quality metals and finishes including Copper, Stainless Steel (Brushed finish, Mirror Polished finish, Matte finish), Raw steel, Brass and Titanium (Titanium Gold, Titanium Amber, Titanium Smoke).
