Nomad
Utopia ceramic wall tile in gloss, Nomad 3.5 × 12 in
There is taupe hidden in the letters of Utopia, and taupe is what Nomad Utopia gloss delivers: a warm neutral glazed ceramic wall tile with enough color in it to change how a room feels.
The spelling nods to Eutopia, the Greek root for the good place. Deliberate, not a typo.
Utopia is the most expressive of the six colorways, moving through six shade ranges with real difference in each. A glossy surface brings that out. The semi-transparent glaze settles into the low points of every face and thins across the rises, so warm and cool notes trade places as light crosses the wall. It is also the color that most rewards a dry-lay and blend before setting.
It is produced in Valencia, Spain, at a ceramic house of 120 years. Wall applications only: interiors, shower walls, steam showers, backsplashes, fireplace walls away from the firebox, and exterior walls outside freezing climates. It is not specified for floors, pools, or water features.
Set a sample next to your stone or porcelain and see whether the undertones agree.
