Designer Mosaic Tile Line
From: New Ravenna
New Ravenna has introduced the J. Banks Collection for New Ravenna, created by Joni Vanderslice, principal and owner of J. Banks Design in Hilton Head Island, SC. Vanderslice has designed the 15 patterns in this collection with three themes in mind: waves, trellises, and palms. New Ravenna’s design team visualized her concepts into mosaic form through various applications of color, texture and shape. The tile line captures the essence of refined, southern-coastal style, combined with the colors and graphic patterns of African tribal design. The designer drew inspiration for this collection from her travels to and around Africa through her non-profit group, The Valentine Project. By partnering with local Tanzanian churches, Vanderslice’s Valentine Project aims to provide safe homes for orphans in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. As each New Ravenna mosaic is made-to-order, any of the mosaics in the J. Banks Collection for New Ravenna can be customized with the client’s material preferences to fit the project’s scope.
