AKDO is proud to introduce the launch of our latest collection, Sio, a porcelain collection designed in collaboration with creative powerhouse, Clodagh.

Following the enduring success of Clodagh’s debut collection, Kaya, Sio continues with the alignment of her signature minimalistic design style. With the current push towards prioritizing physical and mental well-being through interior design, each tile within the collection artfully pairs geometric shapes with earth-like tones for a harmonious and revitalized aesthetic. Clodagh notes, “I wanted to design a collection that was recognizable and simple that would create some patterning. In addition, I wanted something that was extremely low maintenance, which is very important.”

It is clear that the collection embodies exactly how Clodagh had initially envisioned. Sio combines the look of an undulating surface and natural imperfections of encaustic tile, with the forgiving, low maintenance properties of porcelain – resulting in a tile that is ideal for virtually any environment.

Emulating layers of igneous rocks formed at the Earth’s surface, Sio’s Strata Hex brings visual impact, dimension, and balance.

Sio Cubic Plaid offers a graphic plaid pattern, with the clean lines and subtle contrast, creating dimension with simplistic nostalgia.

The collection also offers four complementing Solid Hexes, to be used in contrast or as coordinates with Strata and Cubic.
