Levante by Adex

Collection Summary

Levante by Adex is a ceramic wall tile collection inspired by winds moving through Valencia and Spain’s southern Mediterranean coast. Seven field colors are offered in glossy and matte finishes alongside squares, rectangles, hexagons, and hand-painted decorative pieces. Its combination of tonal glaze variation, surface movement, and pattern makes Levante especially adaptable to layered wall compositions.

Design & Aesthetic

The palette includes Aire, Solano, Terral, Monzon, Brisa, Poniente, and Sirocco. Using both glossy and matte versions of the same colors allows designers to create contrast through sheen without introducing another color.

Formats range from small squares and elongated rectangles to hexagons. Talisman, Merida, and Compass decos introduce pattern, with the Compass design creating changing geometric relationships as individual pieces are rotated and arranged.

Material & Craftsmanship

Levante is ceramic tile with hand-painted decorative components. Tile X Design characterizes the collection’s surface as uneven and wavy, contributing to its V3 tonal and surface variation.

Design Applications

Levante is intended for wall applications. Tile X Design identifies bathrooms, feature walls, kitchen backsplashes, residential projects, and commercial settings among its applications. Adex also documents bathroom installations combining field tile, finishing pieces, and contrasting finishes.

Specifying Levante

Specification requires more than selecting a color. Designers should identify the format, glossy or matte finish, and any decorative component used in the layout.

The Talisman, Merida, and Compass patterns are available in specific colorways rather than every possible field-color combination. Decorative layouts should therefore be developed around confirmed items.

Tile X Design lists 10 and 11 mm thicknesses across the collection and special-order U.S. availability with an indicated 7–12 week lead time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can glossy and matte Levante tile be mixed in one installation?

Yes. The seven primary field colors are offered in both finishes, allowing sheen to become part of the pattern while maintaining a coordinated color palette.

Are all Levante decorative patterns available in every color?

No. Talisman, Merida, and Compass are offered in designated color combinations. Confirm the required decorative SKU before finalizing the pattern.

How should Compass Deco layouts be planned?

The Compass graphic creates different relationships depending on tile orientation. Laying out the pattern before installation helps establish the intended repetition and movement.

Should noticeable variation be expected?

Yes. Tile X Design classifies Levante as V3, so noticeable variation is an intentional characteristic of the collection.
