Within the Advanced Design & Processes workshop with COIMA Image, that explored the contemporary, comfortable, and innovative outdoor living scenarios in different environments, the students of the Master in Product Design Ataberk Saraçoğlu and Rami Majzoub, developed “Illusione”, a new pattern for an outdoor tile that bring movement and flow to pathways.
They created a family of four tiles that arranged in a repeated sequence. Each tile is made from two colors and the geometry of the colored area changes gradually from one tile to another.

The inner part of the tiles is formed by mapping the perspective of a 3D block facing us and side shape is an extension to the base pattern with flipped colors. A joint tile is used to create elbow and T joints when needed and it acts like a platform that collects the repeated sequence from the four tiles and send its movement into a different direction. To get the 3D stream flow along the two-colored tiles, a slight change in the angles of the geometrical shape is applied to each tile. As the area of one-color decrease, the area of the other increase while maintaining certain angles and this is what gives life to these tiles. Three families of tiles were created, one display a color and a lighter shade of the same color and the other two show a dark and a light color with a blank background.
