Kismet & Karma Brass Tiles
The Karim for ALLOY Kismet + karma brass tile is a brilliant golden yellow tile punched from a single sheet of 1.6mm brass. It is hardwearing and long lasting and can be used indoors and outdoors. Atmospheric exposure of the brass tiles can result in the development of a thin protective green patina that, in itself, becomes a striking feature. We also suggest using the ALLOY Titanium Gold tile for a lasting golden colour.
Tile Features:
Designed by Karim Rashid and manufactured by ALLOY to create a highly contemporary look with an unsurpassed finish.
Punched from an individual sheet of 1.6mm solid, high quality brass.
No backing mesh, plastic inserts or metal look-alike 'metallic' coatings. ALLOY tiles won’t dent, crack or de-laminate.
Face mounted for better protection of the tile face during installation.
Made in Australia. Consistent high quality. Guaranteed sweatshop free.
A full range of finishing pieces is available as well as a specially developed ALLOY adhesive to ensure an immaculate finish.
As a reflective material, metal can be difficult to represent correctly in photographic images. To ensure you are getting the exact look you want, we suggest purchasing a tile sample from www.alloydesign.com.au.

Today poetic design is based on a plethora of complex criteria: human experience, social behaviors, global, economic and political issues, physical and mental interaction, form, vision, and a rigorous understanding and desire for contemporary culture. Manufacturing is based on another collective group of criteria: capital investment, market share, production ease, dissemination, growth, distribution, maintenance, service, performance, quality, ecological issues and sustainability. The combination of these factors shape our objects, inform our forms, our physical space, visual culture and our contemporary human experience. These quantitative constructs shape business, identity, brand and value. This is the business of beauty. Every business should be completely concerned with beauty - it is after all a collective human need. I believe that we could be living in an entirely different world - one that is full of real contemporary inspiring objects, spaces, places, worlds, spirits and experiences. Design has been the cultural shaper of our world from the start. We have designed systems, cities, and commodities. We have addressed the world’s problems. Now design is not about solving problems, but about a rigorous beautification of our built environments. Design is about the betterment of our lives poetically, aesthetically, experientially, sensorially, and emotionally. My real desire is to see people live in the modus of our time, to participate in the contemporary world, and to release themselves from nostalgia, antiquated traditions, old rituals, kitsch and the meaningless. We should be conscious and attune with this world in this moment. If human nature is to live in the past - to change the world is to change human nature.
