Tineke Tile Collections

After repeated instances of envisioning the perfect tiles for a particular project but being unable to source them on the market, Tineke Triggs knew she needed to take things into her own hands. The result was the Tineke Triggs Tile Collection. Carried by tile dealers nationwide, the hand leathered Italian marble collection is timeless and elegant.

The first line in the collection is entitled Muziek, in homage to Tineke’s Dutch roots as the name means “music” in Dutch. She says, “Because the Art Deco period was so heavily influenced by the music movement, the name just stuck.” Individual designs are all inspiring and artistic individuals of that era, such as Basie, Ellington, Hemingway, and Dali.

Just as creative as the namesakes of the products, the collection itself would work well in many applications. Tineke says, “I can envision anything from an amazing fireplace wall or an accent wall behind the bed to the more obvious entryway or bathroom flooring and kitchen backsplash uses. The designs are unique in their use of larger scale patterns which means you can introduce texture and pattern in a space without completely overwhelming it.”

Muziek from Tineke Triggs Tile Collection is a new collection by interior designer Tineke Triggs. Inspired by the luxury, glamour and modernism of the Art Deco movement, Muziek’s 12 distinctive designs, including Tallulah, are united in their bold geometric forms, exotic style and exuberance of a bygone era. Each design is made with fine Italian marble and hand-leathered finishes. The new Muziek tile collection is the first of many in the works from the San Francisco designer.

There’s no question that tile is having a moment. From standout encaustic patterns to playful terrazo colorways, tile is trending in a major way! I’m loving all the creative installs I’m noticing for tile, everything from forward-thinking kitchen and bath applications to fireplace surrounds, patios, and floor-to-ceiling statements! Designers are stretching themselves in new directions with this timeless material, and it’s so fun to see.

Since I’ve got tile on the brain lately, I was immediately intrigued by the just-launched Muziek line of tile from designer Tineke Triggs. San Francisco-based Tineke has been creating custom tile patterns for clients for years, and at last she’s made her designs available to everyone! The collection is inspired by the energy and dynamic movement of the Art Deco movement, in particular by the 1920’s architecture of the Tineke’s home city. As she explains, “It was a time when [San Francisco} was absolutely thriving, bustling with innovation and energy…the designs of that time were bold, exotic and full of ornate details.” Tineke even named each style in the collection after an historic figure of the time!

The collection is comprised of high contrast black-and-white designs, most of them geometric in nature but with a few curves thrown in for good measure. (For example, I adore the organic lines of Dali, which is number 4 above.) Custom colors are also available, including some tone-on-tone for a subtle effect like the bathroom floor in the header of this post. Head to Tineke’s website to see all the patterns and find out where to purchase the collection, and get ready to see these tiles everywhere because they’re truly something special!
