Renovation Magasin Carrelage MALEINGE
Montrevault-sur-Èvre / France / 2012
0
Maleigne, a store specialising in tiles of all kinds, features a very special and striking façade. Inside the showroom, a wide variety of classic and modern tiles are on display. The classic white façade, with its threedimensional design, appears to be delicately poised on top of wooden supports. The interplay between light and shadow generates a clear modernity; only a closer look reveals references to historic tiles. Whilst their history goes back to ancient times in the East, tiles only arrived in France with returning Crusaders. Medieval French tile specialists first designed ornamental decors, before creating relief tiles; structured tiles which experienced a renaissance in the 70s and once again today. The showroom’s outer skin in three-dimensionally formed ALUCOBOND® cassettes are evocative of the classical relief tile and create an impressive fusion of classic and modern.
