Motley – Hybrid Stone-Inspired Porcelain Tile Collection (Revised)

The Motley Collection by Mirage offers a unique reinterpretation of stone aesthetics. It artfully combines the subtle veining of classic split slate with the fine-grain, color-shifting appeal of sedimentary stones. The result is an entirely new design language that elevates any project.

A fusion of slate and sedimentary inspiration

Nature serves as the starting point for Motley’s creative journey.

• The design merges pale veins typical of traditional slate with fine-grained sediment effects for striking contrast.

• Subtle color transitions and textural depth deliver visual richness rarely seen in single-source natural stones.

• Mirage’s advanced printing ensures realistic details and consistent quality across all formats.

Moreover, this fusion enables designers to break away from conventional stone looks, bringing new creative possibilities to both interior and exterior spaces.

A versatile, nature-inspired color palette

Motley offers eight carefully balanced shades:

• Rio, Monterey, Wembley, Altamont, Woodstock, Liverpool, Reading, and Glastonbury each present distinct tonalities.

• From warm neutrals to bold greys, the palette supports a wide variety of design styles.

• Slight shade variations create dynamic, non-repetitive surfaces that feel natural and engaging.

In addition, these colors blend effortlessly with complementary materials, ensuring harmonious transitions throughout a project.

Flexible formats for design freedom

Motley includes a wide range of sizes and thicknesses to suit every need:

• Large slabs up to 1200×2780 mm (6 mm thick) provide expansive, dramatic wall cladding.

• Standard sizes like 600×1200 mm, 600×600 mm, and 300×600 mm (9 mm) are perfect for durable floors and walls.

• 20 mm EVO_2/E™ pavers allow for creative outdoor applications such as patios, pool surrounds, and terraces.

Moreover, this variety enables designers to maintain a consistent design language between interiors and exteriors.

Sophisticated surface finishes

Motley features three distinct finishes that enhance its stone-inspired character:

• Natural: Delivers a matte, authentic look for understated elegance.

• Structured: Adds slip resistance with a tactile, three-dimensional texture, ideal for outdoor and wet areas.

• Spazzolata: Offers a brushed effect that deepens tonal variation and emphasizes natural patterns.

In addition, these finishes meet safety standards for slip resistance (DIN R10–R11), making them suitable for commercial and residential applications alike.

Advanced technical performance

Motley prioritizes long-lasting performance without compromising aesthetics.

• ≤0.1% water absorption ensures low porosity and easy maintenance.

• High flexural strength delivers durability: 1100 N (6 mm), 2400 N (9 mm), and 12,500 N (20 mm EVO_2/E™).

• Certified R10–R11 slip resistance supports safe use in wet zones, public spaces, and outdoor pathways.

• Frost and thermal shock resistance make it reliable in diverse climates.

• Chemical and stain resistance allow easy cleaning even in high-traffic environments.

Therefore, Motley offers both beauty and practicality, making it a strong choice for demanding projects.
