With a signature style that juxtaposes contemporary with a refined, traditional classicism, Steve has created a range which imbues his aesthetic, and also allows the designs to seamlessly work within a myriad of different environments.
"I am constantly observing shapes and patterns around me. Whether I am working on any of my projects or travelling, everything from a window grate in India to an iron lantern in South Africa has shaped the collection with these graphic memories forming the basis of lineal patterns and graphic expressions. I started sketching shapes and patterns on everything from paper napkins to my many notepads. From there I worked them up in Photoshop to see how the repeat patterns worked. From there we chose the particular marble we wanted to use and started sampling.
"Tiles have been a decorative staple for centuries, and I love the fact that by using a graphic element on the floor or wall in a bathroom or kitchen splash back you can create a focal point and layered texture within a room to build upon. It's a great starting point."
Crisp, clean lines and graphic forms consistently identify Steve Cordony's work. His sophisticated design is at the cutting edge of trends while always imbuing a sense of traditional classicism.
Byzantine Design is about so much more than a simple tile. The materials we fill our spaces with have the ability to affect our every day and evoke a sense of inspiration, modernity or nostalgia.
Choosing a tile is not simply about how it looks, but how it feels – the texture of the surface against your skin, its power to transform a room and its ability to incite an emotional response. Our business is in curating beautiful materials to create spaces that make you feel alive. It’s built on passion, dedication and a genuine and lasting love for design.
