About This Product: Meaning "network" in Italian, Reticolo translates the intricacy of fiber arts to the medium of natural stone. Its surface displays an organic interplay of pattern, sculpted through CNC precision and softened by a brushed finish. The relief carving works in two layers: a lacy network inspired by contemporary textile art, set against a deeply recessed background that echoes the raw edge of a split quarry block. This two-layer design captures the individual character of each stone, pairing a lacy, velvety-smooth overlay with a richly textured background that shifts from stone to stone.
"Reticolo's dual layers really showcase texture, which varies based on the product's specific stone—and this is one of the details I love most," explains Artistic Tile Design Director Courtney Vagliardo. "In fact, we chose the natural stone varieties specifically because of how they reacted to the bas-relief: Belgian Bluestone appears almost smooth, Grey Foussana Limestone displays a faint stippling, and Grey Sabbia Limestone features a honeycombed texture."
Available in three colorways—Belgian Bluestone's deep charcoal, Grey Foussana's warm taupe, and Grey Sabbia's soft cream—Reticolo lets the same woven motif read as three distinct design statements, from striking and moody to light and airy. Each 12" x 24" x 3/8" decorative tile brings a level of depth and craft rarely achieved in natural stone, transforming a single wall into a sculptural, tactile focal point.
In Reticolo, the crisscrossing lines of a woven textile are rendered permanent in stone: a pattern typically found in soft, pliable fiber made solid, tactile, and enduring. The result is a wall covering that behaves like art and performs like stone—bringing the warmth and intricacy of fiber arts into a material built to last.
