The following post is not about vintage floor tiles per se, but might be an indication of future possibilities for our vans...
A company in Sweden ( www.bolon.com ) has been making flooring products since 1949, and recently displayed a new vinyl floor tile at the Milan Furniture Fair. This new tile is being called a "wing"...
The tile appears to be made in two different styles: one with a square edge at the ends, and another with a tapered edge at the ends.
The surface of these tiles is textured, which wouldn't be the ideal surface for our old vans, but the picture that caught my eye was this one...
By selecting a lot of off-white tiles, plus a few plain yellow and plain black tiles, I could imagine it wouldn't be too hard to create a floor design that had a "vintage look" about it.
The Bolon wing tile is being launched in Sydney this month, and it may hopefully lead to other manufacturers being creative and producing a similar tile but with a smooth surface and in colours that match our vintage era. We can only hope, ay?!
cheers,
Al.
