ABOUT STORYTILES StoryTiles creates art on tiles, wood and cards. Every design features humorous details, in which classical concepts contrast with modern elements. All StoryTiles products are artisanally crafted and produced in The Netherlands, as it is an Amsterdam based brand. The company was founded in 2013 through a crowdfunding campaign and has over 200 points of sale all over the world. StoryTiles will make its debut as design platform in September 2016. For the first time in the StoryTiles history, Marga van Oers - the former only StoryTiles designer - hands on the torch to other artists. www.storytiles.com

HOW IT’S MADE
ABOUT THE TILES Ceramic tiles have been made in and around Delft, The Netherlands, since the 16th century. StoryTiles continues the tradition by creating miniature art-on-tiles. All tiles are baked in traditional Dutch ovens at a high temperature. Each design is unique, as it is hand baked and designed. The delicate art pieces come in very cool cardboard packaging, with a nifty hanging system. Almost all StoryTiles are available in three sizes: Small 10x10 cm Medium 13x13 cm* Large Tile 20x20 cm * This size is equivalent to the original Dutch tile.

STORYTILES ARTIST COLLABORATION
STORYTILES ARTIST COLLABORATION
BY PIET PARIS Piet Paris, a successful fashion illustrator, uses classic drawing materials for its designs on a tile. With the woman as central point of attention, he draws her in a fashion Valhalla. Only armed with pencil and paper, he sketches a graphic interplay of lines, combined with tight coloured areas and a hint of symmetry. The result: three feminine silhouettes that reflect his love for fashion.

Chris van Eeden, a young designer, loses itself in the art of serenity. With the simplicity of primary colours and a single cut out in cardboard, she works magic to create a spatial piece of scenery.

BY LIESELOT MOED
Lieselot Moed gives us a glimpse of her china cabinet. She combines black-andwhite draughtsmanship with historic porcelain gurines. With her black pencil, she creates slightly surreal tableaus with a humoristic view. Her work is a wink at the kitschy art of old times. NEW HAVING A PEEK S|M|L

THE MUSEUM COLLECTION VAN GOGH MUSEUM
Marga van Oers has been asked by The Van Gogh Museum to unite her creativity with Van Gogh’s art, in a new product. This has resulted in two StoryTiles series: ‘The Sunflower Expedition’ and ‘Van Gogh’s Garden’. THE SUNFLOWER EXPEDITION ‘The Sunflower Expedition’ describes a colourful world, where children go on an adventure, in which they are guided by their curiosity. The design is based on Van Gogh’s original ‘Sunflowers’.

THE MUSEUM COLLECTION RIJKSMUSEUM The ‘A Golden Age Encounter’ series is a collaboration between StoryTiles and the Rijksmuseum in the Netherlands. For this collection, Marga van Oers focused on finding known and unknown animals in the Rijksmuseum and united them with Old Dutch stories. This resulted in a social and sometimes even flirtatious encounter between two different art fragments from the Golden Age.
