plonc. Gadayka Tile

Size:1200x600mm, (whitish and earthen colour).

Immerse yourself in architectural sublimity by integrating raw stone textures onto porcelain tiles, marrying rugged elegance with enduring functionality. This union embodies a symbiotic relationship between eternal aesthetics and contemporary design, nurturing a deeper connection to both nature and the beauty of ‘intra-tile architecture.’

Gadayka is a word for “stone” in some Yolŋu Matha dialects, which are a group of languages spoken by the Yolngu people in Northern Australia. Yolŋu Matha encompasses several dialects, and “gadayka” may be used in one or more of these dialects.

It’s important to note that Aboriginal languages are incredibly diverse, with many different languages and dialects across Australia, each with its own unique vocabulary and grammar.

This holds nostalgia for me, having lived in the Top End during my younger years, particularly on Groote Eylandt, N.T.

I hope you find this design suitable for integration into your living space - Noli Samson.
