Tiles Used

Tiles from the Dynamic, Silhouette and Recon and Horizon ranges.


Outcome

Developed by the team at CADA Design, Japan Centre Panton Street adheres to the operational principles of Depachika combining the industrial nature of the existing building with traditional Japanese simplicity and a thoughtful approach to design.

Solus were delighted to work with CADA Design to supply a fantastic array of trend-leading tiling products to various areas of Japan Centre. In the food hall, visitors are welcomed by a complex flooring design, which was created with chevron and hexagon shaped tiles from the versatile Recon range.

When customers are ready to check out, they are also greeted by a beautifully clad service counter, which features a combination of plain and three-dimensional hexagon tiles from the evocative Silhouette and Dynamic ranges. Directly behind, distinctive hand-made encaustic hexagon tiles complement the modern Japanese scheme.

Concrete is used in many aspects of the design, and Solus helped to complete this aesthetic with large format, authentic looking concrete effect tiles from the Horizon range, which can be seen on the counter fronts and walls of many of the quick service food locations.
