3D Cube Rhombus Honed Marble Mosaic Tile
Rhombi in three tones, arranged so that every group of three reads as a cube seen from above. It is the oldest optical pattern in floor design, and this sheet is the exact counterpart of the Starline mosaic elsewhere in the range: there, six identical diamonds stay flat and read as a star; here, three different tones are assigned to the three faces and the same shapes stand up into solid geometry.
The three tones are doing precise work. An ice-white rhombus reads as the lit top face, a mottled biscuit cream as the side turned towards the light, and a darker, fossil-flecked taupe-grey as the face in shadow. Swap any two and the cubes either invert or collapse into a flat pattern. It is the only design in the catalogue where the colour assignment is structural rather than decorative.
Honing is essential to it. A polished face would place highlights on rhombi according to where the room's lights happen to be, and those real reflections would contradict the painted-on lighting the illusion depends upon. A level matte surface holds every face at its assigned value.
The stone is a fine limestone, so it is porous and calcareous: seal before grouting, and use neutral cleaning products only.
