The Tiles of India has completed its eighth year of existence and has seen a steady growth with much learning. We are happy to present this Anniversary Issue. 2020 started with a bang but quickly progressed to one of the most difficult times that mankind has experienced and lived through collectively as the world battles Covid19. This issue has us feeling bittersweet; I will talk about the sweet, because I am a perennial optimist! Along with the anniversary, we feel a small pride because these testing times showed us what we are capable of as a team. In spite of working from home due to the lockdown, we were able to bring out our first weekly digital tabloid that continues in the same tradition of the print issue. It is an easy to read format with weekly inputs of all that is new, exciting and of importance in the design industry. We also have regular dispatches, with interesting interviews, viewpoints from the different industry stakeholders on our YouTube channel and our other social media platforms. Do remember to check them out! This issue is an amalgamation of many interesting stories. We have projects that focus on wellness, sustainability and the spatial energy, these are things that have gained a lot of importance post Covid19, because we are all introspecting and working towards solutions that are more holistic and sustainable. So read on, stay aware, stay safe and adhere to the social distancing norms! We shall make it together!

hen the classic meets the contemporary through the most unconventional mediums, there is a palpable electricity that can leave you pleasantly stunned, mesmerized or completely enchanted, or in the best scenarios, all of the above! Fabio Viale’s work does exactly that! Fabio is an Italian sculptor who tattoos his marble sculptures. The main feature of his tattooed marble sculptures is that they are
not colored on the surface, not painted over, but tattooed with the ink infiltrating the marble in a very similar manner as tattoos penetrate human skin. It is the magical mix of classicism with the smoothness of the surface of marble and the dark moody nature of the tattoos that make his work unique, almost iconoclastic. Fabio Viale was born in Cuneo in 1975. He took a liking to marble at the age of 16, when he attended
art school (the academy of fine arts in Turin) and discovered his passion for the material. After his studies at the artistic high school and at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Turin, Italy he started to work professionally as a sculptor. In adolescence he quickly gained fame in the craft sector and among some antique dealers. Initially he produced architectural design components and statues for the monumental cemetery of Milan, before starting an independent career as a contemporary sculptor. His works arrived from Italy to New York and Russia. In 2013 he made his debut at SperoneWestwater in NY. A year later he won the Cairo prize, the most important recognition for contemporary art in Italy for having created the first fully functioning and floating marble boat. In 2015 he began collaboration with the Poggiali gallery in Florence, which in 2016 led to an exhibition, for the first time in history, of two sculptures of contemporary art in one of the most famous churches in the world: the basilica of San Lorenzo in Florence. In 2012, the Henreaux Foundation in Querceta, Italy gave him an

award. In 2014 he won the 15th Cairo Prize, Italy. In 2017 it was given to him the 52nd international prize Le Muse at the Salonedel Cinquecento at Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, Italy. His style is a refined, cultured, eccentric, and extraordinarily contemporary approach to historical sculpture, which he interprets in a very personal language. Provocative when necessary, his work expresses the poetics of displacement and often intends to create a fracture. He attempts to create a dialogue between classical iconography and Russia. In fact, the artist has chosen to represent on the sculptures the tattoos often used by prisoners in the transcontinental
state, which has a very complex meaning and code. The aim is to tell a life story and to arouse fear, messages that screech with the whiteness of marble. His art is an encounter between life and death, between the sacred and the profane. He often inks his marble reproductions of iconic sculptures with heavy scenes of ancient stories, swirling waves, and foreboding clouds. Each vine, flower, and dragon-based composition is settled on a darkened backdrop that tends to envelop an entire back, leg, or shoulder, triggering an uncommon amalgam of material and form. Viale doesn’t paint the marble but rather infuses an arm or chest with color and pattern in a
manner that’s similar to tattooing a human body. He collaborated with chemists to refine the blended technique and said that “not surprisingly, each natural material has its strong personality and difficulties connected to it.” It is a meeting between life and death, between the sacred and the profane. A combination, the relationships between these two sets, results in a solid bond that creates energy. The preconception we have of classical beauty and the hardness inherent in a certain type of criminal tattoo provoke gasp and wonder.

Industry Insight
Marching Ahead The Tiles of India in conversation with Chetan Kajaria, Chairman, ICCTAS
T
ranscript of Interview with Mr. Chetan Kajaria Panna Roy Choudhury: Hello Everyone! My name is Panna Roy Choudhury. I am the Associate Editor of The Tiles of India magazine. I am joined by my colleague, Ms. Shital Joshi, Senior Feature Writer at The Tiles of India magazine. Today we are in conversation with Mr. Chetan Kajaria, who is currently the Chairman of Indian Council of Ceramic Tiles and Sanitaryware - ICCTAS. He is also the Joint Managing Director of Kajaria Ceramics Ltd. Today’s conversation is an attempt to understand his views and outlook on how the industry is grappling with Covid19 and what measures can be taken to help it bounce back as normalcy returns gradually. Mr. Chetan Kajaria is known in the industry as an astute businessman with a visionary leadership and a foresightedness that is extremely commendable. We hope to glean many important insights and hope you enjoy listening to it. And now I will pass over to my colleague, Ms. Shital Joshi, to take this forward.. Ms. Shital Joshi: As we are all aware, the world is going through COVID-19 pandemic, what message you would like to convey to everybody out there specially to the Indian ceramic tile & sanitaryware and the global industry, which is going through a tough time? Mr. Chetan Kajaria: We, as ICCTAS would like to pray that all our 16 The Tiles of India may-June 2020
colleagues, members and friends across the globe are safe and healthy and are with their loved ones SJ: What kind of help is the government providing to the industry and what are you expecting from the government? CK: We are hopeful that the government will provide a stimulus
package soon for the industry. In terms of expectations, ourwish list is only two: 1. Today tiles and sanitaryware are no longer a luxury item. These are goods of basic need for maintaining hygiene and health more so in this COVID – 19 times. So it is imperative that tiles and sanitaryware be made affordable to the people. In this regard, we would request that
Industry Insight the factors that might help to overcome this crisis? CK: As I requested, if these two requests from the government are made (completed), this will go a long way in helping the tiles and sanitaryware industry in overcoming this crises. PRC: You mentioned about the pent- up demand, could you elaborate little bit more on it, we would like to know? CK: So, basically current 20202021, the demand will be a little slow with the crisis happening, but when things gets normalised in 2021 – 2022 and the second half of 2020- 2021, then the demand would increase substantially. PRC: So, you feel that there will be a demand in terms of restructuring or building and that will help the industry accordingly… CK: Yes, correct, I feel that! these goods which are taxed at the current rate of 18 percent in the GST regime be brought down to 12 percent. This will not only help the industry to grow much faster but making it more affordable for the people will also help in fulfilling the government’s programme of housing for all by 2022 and increase hygiene which is the need of the hour desperately. 2. Natural gas is the main cost component of the tiles and sanitaryware industry. Presently natural gas is out of the GST regime and is subject to different rates in different states. Our industry using natural gas as an input for the industrial process is not able to claim any tax rebates paid on procurement of natural gas, since there’s an output tax liability of GST on their final product. Natural gas is one of the cleanest and the most efficient fuels. Keeping it outside the ambit of the GST is putting the industries using the natural gas at a disadvantage compared to those
industries which use alternate fuels which comes under GST. So in summary only two requests that ceramic tiles and sanitaryware be taxed at 12 percent instead of the current 18 percent and to bring natural gas under GST to push the Indian economy towards a cleaner and environmental friendly eco system. SJ: What is the future perspective for the industry? CK: Going forward, 2020 - 2021 looks a little tough due to the COVID – 19 crises but we feel that 2021 – 2022, will be a year of strong growth and the industry will bounce back very strongly. SJ: How do you think the industry will be able to bounce back? CK: Couple of reasons, a pent up demand, construction would normalise and renovation demand will be generated. SJ: According to you, what are
PRC: So, that is a very optimistic view and an optimistic note, so thanks a lot, it was wonderful speaking to you… CK: It was the same here, thank you for giving me this opportunity… PRC: Yes sir! And that is exactly the reason why we wanted you on (this platform), it was wonderful speaking to you and we are very happy with this and hope that you will continue to support and give us your co-operation in this (manner). Thank you very much! SJ: Thank you so much for your time and coming and joining with us today! CK: Thank you very much!

Trendsetter
Tile Tales Tiles trends are getting more and more experimental with infusion of new colours, application ideas and unconventional shapes
Nonrectangular / Mixed Geometrics Geometric tile shapes other than rectangles increase the interest factor of an installation. Trapezoid-, rhombus-, and diamond-shaped tiles allow for more interesting layouts than simple grids. Décor schemes can go even more creative by sprinkling a few same-shaped tiles of another colour into a layout. Random or carefully positioned, the possibilities are endless with this innovative configuration.
Speckled Surfaces Given postmodernism’s recent comeback in the world of design, it’s not surprising to see speckled surfaces as one of this season’s biggest tile trends. Look for designs that display playful chips and fragments, large and small, embedded in different sizes, shapes, and colours of tile. This trend features technicolour dots and specks, and modern interpretations of terrazzo. 18 The Tiles of India may-June 2020
Trendsetter
Precious- and Gemstone-Style Made Sustainable The look of precious stone takes the beauty of nature to a glamorous place. From designs emulating rare marbles and semi-precious stones, such as onyx and agate, to tiles with an iridescent finish reminiscent of Akoya pearls, precious material styles are set to make a splash in the tile industry this year. This trend also allows designers to source materials that appear rare and precious for a fraction of the price, without depleting Earth’s natural resources!
Large-Scale Patterns There is a shift from minimalistic designs toward ceramic tiles with big, bold patterns that instantly catch the eye. Available in a multitude of shapes and colour schemes, large pattern tiles are perfect as an accent piece or architectural element in an understated space, turning surfaces into true works of art. Largescale pattern tile is also taking the form of non-square geometric shapes.
Counter Culture With the quantity of gauged porcelain tile panels/ slabs steadily increasing in the market, their use is also expanding. Thick slabs in large formats are trending this year with a range of thicknesses for countertops from 3.5 to 12mm. The durability and stain resistance of porcelain makes it an excellent countertop choice, which is why this type of application will be a 2020 favorite.

Mixed Colour Palettes While tile colour preferences change and evolve, this year’s popular colour palettes are offering a highly creative mix of hues, tones, and moods. We see a return to a more decorative dimension where colour is prominent. From warmer, earthier tones such as terracotta and sage, to a mix of greens and blues, the design industry is moving toward colour palettes that offer a wide variety of combinations. If you are crazy for Classic Blue, the Pantone colour of the year, or the emerging sage green and dusty orange décor favorites, ceramic tile has plenty of options. On the other side of the rainbow, pretty in pink is in vogue again.
Modernized Marble Traditionally inspired ceramic materials, such as emulated marble, have been modernized to adapt to the contemporary styles of 2020. Highly sought-after luxurious designs typically reserved for floor tiles have been converted into large ceramic slabs now used for countertops, bathroom vanities, walls, and more. 20 The Tiles of India may-June 2020

Psychedelic They say that “everything old is new again,” and the same goes for tile. Retro-inspired design and midcentury modern interiors are making a return. Tile manufacturers are responding with radical references to the 1960s and ’70s with bright, psychedelic colours, playful geometries, and trippy patterns galore! a 2020 favorite.
Refined Natural Wood Looks The natural wood look has been a staple in the tile industry for years. Thanks to evolving technology, the natural wood look remains uber-popular in 2020. This year, tile manufacturers are re-inventing the look in an abundance of colours, details, and applications for one-of-a-kind styling. In addition, transitioning materials, such as wood looks that are used in the family room transitioning into concrete looks in the kitchen, create exciting opportunities for interior design in 2020.
Industrial Chic In contrast to the warm, rustic, or potential rural feel of wood-look tile, we are starting to see an emphasis on urban design and its aesthetic traits in 2020. Concrete- and stone-look tile options enrich environments with a chic artfulness while opening the door to endless, unique style options. may-June 2020 The Tiles of India 21

money, instead financing the work via the sale of their own artwork. Christo and Jean Claude described the myriad elements that brought the projects to fruition as integral to the artwork itself, and said their projects contained no deeper meaning than their immediate aesthetic impact; their purpose being simply for joy, beauty, and new ways of seeing the familiar. In his most recent work, L’Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped, Christo planned to wrap the Parisian monument in a silvery blue recyclable polypropylene fabric and red rope. The installation was originally scheduled to open to the public in September 2020, however, it was postponed until September 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He died at the age of 84 on May 31 at his home in New York.

hour in the world’s fastest growing city, Bengaluru. Within an urban concrete-jungle, Iris seeks to be a green refuge from the ever-growing pressures of development. The designers had to achieve this within the housing market pressures to make the project affordable. Iris focuses on a community centricdesign incorporating natural greenery along with social spaces, simultaneously meeting the major challenge of creating high built-up area with a low selling price. The design provides abundant natural light and ventilation in each home without compromising on privacy. Social spaces were carved out within the individual row-houses in the form of shared courtyards, a semi-open vertical
clubhouse and two open parks. It comprises of a series of rowhouses planned along a central spine path with ten branches. Each branch is a common courtyard shared by 6 homes forming a micro community. Each home has a private garden with mature trees. Services are clubbed along the shared walls to minimise costs and hide it from view. The community club-house sits at the head of the spine near the road. The tailend is a large open park with an amphitheatre and play areas. Iris was a low-cost project. Hence economy of construction was essential. Conventional earthquake resistant R.C.C framed structure was infilled with lightweight autoclaved blocks. The
