Dallas, TX – April 16, 2025 — Flooring professionals looking to meet rising demand for textured, design-forward wall surfaces now have a new solution from Daltile. The company has launched Artefino, a multi-dimensional porcelain tile collection that combines style, surface variation, and durability across three distinct sub-collections: Jewel, Vintage, and Element.

Designed with professional applications in mind, Artefino offers tile contractors and specifiers an ideal mix of form and function. The tiles are made from high-performance porcelain, providing moisture resistance, low maintenance, and long-term wear — crucial for wall and vertical surfaces in both indoor and outdoor environments.

“Texture on walls is widely used in today’s world of interior design. Professional designers and consumers are expecting the inclusion of texture to bring a tactile sensation as well as to introduce the beautiful play of light and shimmer to a room’s visual, granting a multi-sensorial experience,” said Laura Grilli, director of product design, Dal-Tile LLC. “In keeping with this interior design desire, there is definitely a trend of specifically including 3-dimensional effects on walls, backsplashes, and feature walls. We have created Daltile’s new Artefino series to offer 3D tile mosaics as an exquisite design element for these types of wall applications. Artefino’s mosaic tiles are made of porcelain, which is a perfect material for creating both indoor and outdoor unique and stylish wall applications. As a larger tile collection, Artefino embodies many of the most popular interior design trends – whether the need is for glamour, fun, or a soothing/cocooning touch.”

The variety of colors, shapes, and finishes available within Artefino is so comprehensive that we have divided the series into three assortments, aiming to create a collection capable of providing unique but versatile design elements that can fit into a variety of interior styles,” added Grilli.

Artefino Jewel: High-Impact 3D Tile in Rich Jewel Tones
With bold 3D pyramid and hexagon mosaics, Artefino Jewel is perfect for customers seeking glamorous accent walls or premium feature installations. The matte metallic finishes offer light-reflective surface effects that elevate commercial and residential spaces alike.

“Artefino Jewel boasts gorgeous, rich jewel-tones — Sapphire, Obsidian, Aquamarine, and Emerald — perfect for glamorously decorated spaces. A unique matte, metallic finish is also offered, which works wonderfully in both elevated industrial and luxurious environments,” commented Grilli.

Artefino Vintage: Retro Colors with Modern Appeal
Installers looking to deliver high-style with nostalgic flair will appreciate Artefino Vintage, which revives popular 1970s colorways in fresh shapes. Pencil, pyramid, and fish scale options allow for custom layouts while giving installers flexibility with familiar forms.

“Artefino Vintage features several of the 1970’s hottest retro colors including an avocado green and a burnt orange as well as other colors such as deep navy and maroon. The collection also includes pastel-like shades with a dreamy and candid light blue and a pale terracotta — fresh and playful,” offered Grilli.

Artefino Element: Minimalist Matte Capsule Tiles, Rated for Floors
The Element line delivers neutral matte finishes in rounded capsule-shaped mosaics — suitable not only for walls but also shower floors and light-use flooring. This makes Element a standout for installers who want design continuity between wall and floor or are working within compact bathroom spaces.

“Lastly, we have Artefino Element — matte tiles in a unique rounded capsule shape — available in an essential color palette that includes blue, green, black/white, and neutral hues. Artefino Element’s matte tiles can also be used on floors and shower floors in addition to walls.”
