Concrete tiles are a versatile alternative for flooring and wall decor as they provide a sleek, cool design. Especially when they’re concrete tiles from California-based designer Daniel Ogassian!
Available in a variety of interesting patterns, the different types of Ogassian’s concrete tiles can be used for flooring both indoors and out. Some patterns can also be used as wall decor, in a bathroom or shower, or even in the kitchen as an interesting backsplash.
The patterns of Ogassian’s concrete tiles are chic and dimensional, as seen in the first photo of the Japanese Weave concrete tile. The second photo is the Optic 1 pattern. Both are textural in their own way. Various patterns are available in different finishes, such as polished and natural, as well as different colors. Concrete tiles can also be uses outdoors.

Meet Ella the Umbrella Stand, designed by Simon Enever.
Ella conceptualizes the vision of an umbrella being stuck in the grass. Real grass grows at Ella’s as dripping rain from umbrellas drain through perforations in the base to water the soil. Made of clear acrylic, Ella is composed of three pieces that easily connect at the base. Soil and seeds are planted at the base after assembly.
On his website, designed Simon Enever says the inspiration for Ella is “a mixture between a drive to re-use wasted household water and to simply use grass to brighten up an otherwise mundane, everyday object.” Ella is an aesthetic solution for the ordinary umbrella stand, and is perfect for entryways and mud rooms.
At least the grass on the Ella Umbrella Stand is easier to maintain than your yard!
