Modwalls glass tiles

The new White Type and Black Type glass tiles from <a href="http://www.modwalls.com">Modwalls</a> are the design of San Francisco artist Rex Ray. Using publications with typographical punch (W magazine was a favorite), Ray created collages whose stark patterns were kiln-fired to the backs of the tiles, shown here with another new Rex Ray tile design called Orange Mod. The effect might be a little ransom-note-ish for some, but I did like the graphic power of the tiles when viewed from afar and the way Type can introduce a bit of chaos to places (bathroom walls, for example) often ruled by relentless uniformity. -- Craig Nakano
