|
|
Just discovered that a company in Sweden named Offecct released an acoustic tile version of the Ennis House tile this past February! I believe these may be larger than the actual tiles (these measure 23"x23" - were the originals 16"x16"?), but were made in collaboration with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation so should be 100% accurate as far as detail. They're made of polyester fibers in offwhite, so should look kinda like smooth concrete - I'm unclear if they come with acoustic foam in the back or if these are just hollow shells. I'll post photos once they arrive - both of the tile itself and what they look like installed together as a group in my place.

Ordering them was not the easiest - I had to contact a distributor local to me, then generate a PO, then wire money directly to Offecct in Sweden based on the invoice they then sent me. They cost me $100/ea, so no great deal, but I expect they will look great in person. I was told there is no minimum order. |

thanks for sharing.
it seems the textile filling inside is an option. |

TFS with us BenderDavid Tiles are accurate (of course, they worked directly with FLLW Foundation)...and yes, the originals are 16"X 16".
The price is still expensive, even at their size... |
