‘Silhouettes’ is a collection of decorated tiles created in collaboration with Danish textile artist Sarah Becker. Twisting motives from nature with an artificial stands on color. Hereby highlighting the meeting of nature and human interference with it.

File Under Pop lava stone tiles are extracted from the active Sicilian volcano Mount Etna, where the lava stone has been compacted for up to 3.000 years, before is it carved out from about 20 meters of depth below the surface. Seeing daylight for the first time in centuries, the process of producing lava stone tiles starts by cutting the natural stone into bigger slaps, which are then carefully processed to become File Under Pop tiles of different formats.

Lava stone is the only stone of nature, which can be converted to have a ceramic surface. The material is well-known for its beautiful, lively surface showing spots and marks, which stem for the process of firing the material, during which glaze and stone merge and become one. These natural imperfections vary from tile to tile, as the minerals and other natural ingredients of the stone will act slightly different each time the lava stone is processed.

In addition to its unique expression, the lava stone is characterized by a tremendous durability, as the material can withstand up to 60 degrees frost and up to 1,000 degrees of heat, making lava stone tiles a beautiful and long-lasting element of interior design and well suited for all types of surfaces.
