Concrete Wall Tile
The design is inspired by the distinctive shapes and artistic heritage of the ancient pre-Columbian Jama Coaque tribe, dating back to 500 B.C., located in Ecuador. It consists of four tiles and the challenge was to develop an effective approach for seamlessly aligning the tiling lines in every direction. These tile variations allow for the creation of diverse configurations without repetition, echoing the roller stamp design. Cultura revives and highlights the memory and importance of historical local design.
