Topo Tile
Topo Tile aims to blend the precision and resolution of additive manufacturing with the bespoke, tactile quality of casting to create an Op Art inspired wall tile. A sacrificial positive mold was 3D printed using laser-sintered nylon powder, which was then used to cast a reusable silicone negative, in-turn, becoming the mold for the resulting 10” x 12” cement tiles. Subtle topographic facets reveal sharp geometries in raking light and revert to simple hexagons in ambient light.
