Orlando, Fla.—MILEstone, the distributed brand of Florim USA, debuted three porcelain tile collections here at Coverings 2023 last month. The collections represented designer trends, newly USA-produced gauged porcelain up to sizes 48 x 48 and 48 x 110 and tangible steps toward the company’s goal of carbon neutrality.
The first of the collections was an inaugural launch for MILEstone “Stories” concept. A collaboration which “Gives Voice to the American Design Community.” The Bestow collection was developed in partnership with Jennifer Farris, principal designer and owner of Bandura Design. The story of the collection pays tribute to, “homespun artist’s weaving, braiding and macrame knotting, which inspire the tile’s color, texture and pattern,” Farris said.
EcoStone marks MILEstone’s first collection featuring 48 x 110 as a carbon neutral offering. This collection pays homage to the timeless beauty of travertine, with two distinctive finishes, inspired by different cutting techniques: cross-cut and vein-cut. There is a highlight on the various uses of gauged tile including the durability and beauty of facades, without sacrificing sustainability.
Farmhouse Living features floor and wall in sizes up to 48 x 110, outdoor 2cm pavers, mosaics and large decos. The collection highlights biophilic design, emulating the natural beauty of stone.
MILEstone is pleased to present collections which celebrate its core values of design, beauty, as a sustainable tile, designed, produced, and distributed in the U.S.
