Designed by acclaimed interior designer Sasha Bikoff, renowned for her maximalist and bold interior styles, her approach boasts a rich blend of color and texture, infusing charisma and contemporary flair to multiple commercial domains and projects. We had the pleasure of working with Sasha and gaining insights into her unique and creative design process.

"The inspiration was to create a coastal chic environment, partly inspired by various places in the Mediterranean and the Amalfi coast. The staircase leading to the second floor was inspired by an image of a hotel in Sardinia that I love." –Sasha Bikoff, Interior Designer at Sasha Bikoff Interiors.

During the design process of Flex Mussels, it was essential to use products that visually represented the desired design concept while offering practicality. Our Argent collection was chosen for the main dining floor, with the bar area and staircase adorned with the colors "Sacred Sand" and "Water Vapors". Argent is a sustainable porcelain tile collection designed to mimic the natural look of concrete. It is available in a variety of vivid and neutral colors, offering a broad spectrum of styles. This tile serves as an excellent tool for designers since its divine color palette complements any design style seamlessly.

Argent– A Porcelain Stone Collection

 

The durability of porcelain combined with the natural look of concrete allows for any commercial project or hospitality environment. The concrete aesthetic provides a timeless appeal that is versatile and contemporary.  “We used the tiles as a starting off point for our color pallete. I really liked this matte finish. It almost has a vintage feel, and it comes in nice moody colors naturally.”  Says Sasha Bikoff. 

One of the most captivating aspects of this establishment, apart from the beautiful bar design and colorful staircase, are the bathrooms. Flex Mussels features four uniquely designed bathrooms that exude charisma, embracing maximalism with a classic terrazzo look using our Medley tile. You will find yourself stepping into a whimsical coastal realm of design with its chic, yet elegant aesthetic. Medley is a porcelain tile collection that reinterprets the classic style of Italian Terrazzo for contemporary tastes.

Medley in Pink Rock – A Porcelain Terrazo Tile Collection

 

Each bathroom embodies a unique color palatte featuring customized sinks in the colors Pink Rock, Green Rock, Grey Rock and Blue Rock, in a beautiful natural finish. This captivating aesthetic allows each tile color to take center stage as a focal point, embracing the perfect fusion of design creativity with the timeless classic appeal of Terrazzo. 

Available in a solid concrete format and three Venetian Terrazzo options, Medley revitalizes the concept of original Terrazzo with a burst of creative freshness. As Sasha quotes–"This was a modern take on a classic terrazzo, it felt bold and fresh. It's very durable and great for commercial use, but also, terrazzo is very Italian, and it relates to our seafood coastal restaurant concept."
