Tile mural collections inspired by Greek islands
TILE MURALS
AFFINITIES
The charm of the simplicity of one color comes to tile design with the Affinity Collection. This special edition of tile murals consists of six compositions painted in only one color. Each composition has a different tile–paint color combination and illustrates affinities and intentional promises.
THE SKYRIAn
“The Skyrian” in collaboration with Hyle pays tribute to a unique creature, the Skyrian horse, and aims to raise awareness about a matter close to our hearts, its preservation.
The Skyrian horse is distinctly small-bodied and has lived on the island of Skyros for more than 2,000 years. There are only 200-300 such horses left worldwide, the majority of which live on the island. The species is inevitably threatened with extinction, and the local community, with the assistance of volunteers, is doing its best to preserve this gentle creature.
Raising cultural awareness and promoting the Greek heritage is one of the core values of Hyle. From its inception by Stefania, the creative director of Hyle, till its realization by Myrsini, this collection has been made with love and meraki.
EIDOLIA
Eidolia collection is inspired by the Cycladic art, the art
that flourished among the islands in the Aegean Sea
and is perhaps best illustrated by the clean-lined and
minimalistic marble sculptures (Eidolia).
PELAGOS
Pelagos collection is inspired by Greek islands and their
unique identities. The architectural characteristics are
translated into simpler lines creating a complex but
minimal synthesis which illustrates the essence of the
island vernacular.
MYTHOS
Mythos collection is inspired by Greek mythological
figures and tales.
YFANTO
Yfanto collection is inspired by motifs illustrated in Greek
embroidery. Needlework is one of the most important and
most decorative Greek handicrafts, rich in traditional
elements derived from a heritage of great antiquity.
THALASSA
Thalassa collection is inspired by the sea life which is
so much dominant in Greek culture. Some of the
compositions borrow their design from some of the
fishes living in the greek seas and some others from the
sea landscape itself.
