One of our most fun projects was making the many patterns of tile that Philippe Stark called for in his design for the SLS Vegas<\/a>\u00a0hotel pool area. The project consisted of 2 large ‘rug like’ areas of a patchwork of pattern with a solid color Black tile border around each. This was not our first Phillipe Stark<\/a> project but it was the largest. We also made cement tile for YOO Panama<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The pool bar at the Las Vegas SLS Hotel is called FOXTAILS.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

\"SLS<\/a><\/p>\n

Quite a bit of organization was required by us, our tile workshop\u00a0and the installers. The contractor was Ferraro Marble of Las Vegas and they were great to work with.<\/p>\n

\"sls-vegas-pool-area-1-VLT\"<\/a><\/p>\n

While many of the patterns were traditional designs for which we already had the molds, there were some that we had to make from scratch. The project required many pre-order samples going back and forth as most large commercial jobs do. Once they saw the quality of our tiles and that we were able to tackle\u00a0this complicated order, everyone was ‘on board’ and the fun began.<\/p>\n

\"sls-vegas-pool-area-cement-tile-VLT\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Our factory used color coded sticky tape on the tile boxes to assist Ferraro Marble in identifying which tile was in which box. Even with that help, we know it was a real challenge to follow the designer’s layout exactly.<\/p>\n

\"SLS<\/a><\/p>\n

We also provided the black and white tile used in a chevron pattern on the DANCE FLOOR\u00a0in the nightclub in the hotel. So many delightful patterns can be created with solid color tiles. We think this is an option seldom explored by many designers. The potential for plaids and large scale repeating or non-repeating patterns is limitless.<\/p>\n

In keeping with the B&W theme throughout the SLS Vegas, the Sundries shop has our black and white cement tile.<\/p>\n

One thing is for sure, Villa Lagoon Tile’s Custom Patchwork at the SLS Vegas is the perfect setting for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Models !!<\/p>\n
