MILEstone proudly announces the launch of the “imprint” collection, the second chapter of the innovative Stories concept, created to “Give a Voice to the American Design Community.”
Designed in collaboration with Michele McMinn, Gresham Smith Studio design lead and partner, MILEstone’s imprint collection boasts a warm, earthy design. Inspired by clay as an origin material and the imprint humans leave upon it, this collection reflects a biophilic connection between humans in the built environment and the natural world. imprint celebrates contrasts, honors artisan traditions, and connects to a shared primal past.
Versatile and sustainable, the imprint collection offers four harmonious visuals: Intaglio is a soft nod to the look of compacted raw materials in a rammed earth finish; Strata has hints of colors evoking the various layers of sedimentary rock; Raw Earth features the striation seen in exposed earthen formations; and Underglazed Ombre offers the blending of shades, from light to dark, as if looking at time from recent to the distant past. These visuals are complemented by the distinct banded graphics of the Rare Earth Deco.
With both cool and warm tones, and Matte and Grip finishes, the imprint collection can be used to create unforgettable residential or commercial environments that seamlessly transition between indoor and outdoor spaces. Sizes and thicknesses range from 8-millimeter 12 by 24 inches, 24 by 24 inches, 24 by 48 inches, and 48 by 48 inches; 6-millimeter 48 by 110 inches; a new 12-millimeter 32 by 96 inches; and a 2-centimeter 24- by 24-inch paver.
