Bamboo Haven: Timeless, Trendy, Transcendent
Merola’s new Bamboo Haven Collection is perfect for a post-pandemic era where we increasingly value our homes as safe havens. This range also reflects growing demand for natural and organic materials like bamboo, cork, and reclaimed wood as homeownersvalue their eco-friendly qualities and natural aesthetic appeal.
Bamboo Haven allows you to introduce this calm and soothing atmosphere to your home, yet still enjoy the many practical virtues of ceramic tile. Elegant and beautiful, these tiles have a stunning bamboo-like texture that creates a natural, organic look. Our talented Spanish partners developed a bespoke mold to create an authentic bamboo look in a 3D ceramic wall tile. Manufactured in high-quality ceramic, they are also durable, easy to clean, and resistant to moisture and stains.
You can use Bamboo Haven to create a feature wall, a backsplash, or a border, or an unusual accent piece in a sunroom, patio or lounge. Ideal for use in Scandinavian inspired interiors or subtly stylish kitchens and bathrooms, the 3D finish is irresistibly tactile.
Japanese-style interiors, with their stress on the unity of man and nature, are growing in popularity. Bamboo Haven plays into this trend with its eco-minimalist vibe, and strong Asian roots.
One of Bamboo Haven’s particular strengths is the energy its linear form brings to spaces. This can achieve a nearly seamless look by continuous setting and thin grout lines. The design’s strong verticality will stretch the perceived dimensions of any room and can even be used under a chair rail to subdivide the walls of a conservatory or entrance hall. Similarly, it is an ideal for use on the front of a bar or hotel reception desk.
The tropical Zen vibe carries through into the four organic colorways: Clay Brown, Tiki Cream, Matcha Green, and Sandy White. These works equally well in a restrained Scandi-style interior as they do in rooms featuring an Asian or tropical island theme. Whichever way it is styled, Bamboo Haven will be appreciated for its naturalistic detail, and subtle colors, and surface variety.
All four Bamboo Haven designs come in 6”x12” pieces. Each tile face feature 16 half-round split bamboo stave designs with characteristic raised nodes.
