PANTILE 2 are simple tiles that aim at provoking interaction of the viewer with the background wall. It tries to create a harmony between the positive and negative instead of masking the wall fully. The design of the tiles allows many configurations.
PANTILE 3: The design of these tiles is derived from a typical vase squished from the shoulder, keeping the snout intact. These tiles can fairly bear weight and the snout can be used as hook to hang things.
