Wild Tile

Posted by Jennifer Sergent Monday July 28, 2008 - 04:50 PM

I started out writing a post about a fabulous new tile collection I first spotted on the Trendir blog, called Rako 2008 by a company in the Czech Republic called Lasselberger.

The Botanica collection in particular caught my eye. It’s along the lines of some gorgeous new Ann Sacks tile introduced this year as well, which I wrote about in May.


But as I started looking through the dozens of product shots they include with each of the new Rako lines (some of which are a little too racy for a family blog!), I just started laughing. The Europeans definitely have a different approach to marketing than the Americans.

This Denim line is beautiful for sure, but the way she is looking so longingly at it is hilarious.


Let’s see, is she getting ready for her day, or winding down after a night out?


Once you get past the flying lady in the sling (if you ever do), this tile is called Tetris.


Here, snaky, snaky! Let me give you a kiss on my beautiful Villa tile.


And isn’t that the cutest thing?? My giant python is playing hide and seek!


If you are going to exercise at home, this Shikoku tile is sure to boost your kickboxing juju. 


Or if classic boxing is your sport, do it with Dolce Vita as your backdrop.


OK, I have two young sons, but bath time has never resembled this utopian scene:


This tile is called Bonanza, and they mean it in more ways than one!

    By far the most hilarious post about tile I have ever read.

    Keep up the good work.
