╳ Daniel Ogassian is a Los Angeles artisan turned industrial designer. His ceramic and concrete wall and floor tiles are simply amazing. The use of concrete as a material to manufacture tiles is unconventional but he manages to balance craftsmanship with machine efficiency. ╳ His tiles are a playful exercise in symmetry combined with the subtlety usually accredited to modern Japanese architecture. According to Ogassian: “Ornamentation…preciousness is at the very nucleus of design. It is the DNA of the form, it is the origin, so that is where you start”.
╳ From organic shapes and textures to optical illusions and geometrics, according to Daniel, the light and shadow play is where he finds life, activity, movement: “Imbuing a wall with surface tension reveals the interaction of static components. When walking past a tiled wall, light and shadow play along the raised patterns and create the illusion of movement."
