Dubbed the Native collection, Commune Design’s new cement tiles for Exquisite Surfaces take inspiration from Native American and Scandinavian textile and pottery patterns–and perhaps classic black-and-white comics, too. Ready to go two-toned? We are–and with very little else: These tile patterns (nearly) furnish a room. 

Above: There are four patterns in the collection, and they each come in a range of colorways and are intended to be mixed together; they retail for $22 per square foot. Stockholm Zebra tiles are shown here on the wall and floor; each one measures 7 7/8 by 7 7/8 inches.

Above: Zuni Python tiles are also 7 7/8 by 7 7/8 inches. Like the other options in the line, they come in a matte finish but can be custom ordered in other finishes. 

Above: A floor in Zuni Zebra paired with a wall in Malmo Zebra tiles. The Zuni tiles are 7 7/8-by-7 7/8-inch square; designs in the Malmo range are rectangular subway tiles available in a variety of sizes.

Above: For something a bit less bold, consider the Navajo Zebra pattern.
