i really like it! (im prob alone in this)

i think it just looks horrible in a bathroom.

i could see this working really well in retail/hospitality/entertainment common areas (lobbies, bars, etc)

I really like this too- especially the pearlescent white version (purple not so much).

Textures really do it for me. Yum.

Hell yeah (in theory, because this would be hard to pull off in most homes).

I LOVE the texture, other colors look good too. I also really like recycled leather wall and floor tiles.

I like lizards; I like lizardy things; I even like this lizardy thing; I really don't like the application. It would be fantastic as part of a dramatic niche or entry.

Put a few tiles amidst plain shiny tiles of the same color, and you'd have something interestingly textural. The whole wall's a bit much due to the obvious repeats.

um... ugh... lizard walls? I really wonder about Italian design, sometimes. No, actually I wonder about it OFTEN... ack.

& why in the world... purple?

one of the fugliest things I've ever had the misfortune to lay eyes upon.

Actually, I agree with 'East16' - I really wonder as well. It's like italian design almost gets there, but then adds a level of 'gaudy' that destroys it. Not all, but a lot.

This looks like it belongs in that weird Pierre Cardin house from the 70s. It's not at all mainstream taste, and I guess that's the point.

Thumbs down to the tiles.

Kelly Wearstler is a playboy playmate turned high end LA designer. She was also a judge on Top Design.
