One by 41zero42

Collection Summary

One by 41zero42 is a 48×48-inch porcelain collection that enlarges the visual language of decorative cement tile to an architectural scale. The 6 mm collection includes a neutral dotted Base 00, two traditional digital decorations, and six cold-digital decorated designs, creating nine listed options in total.

Design & Aesthetic

One uses oversized geometry to change the perceived scale of familiar decorative-tile motifs. Pinwheels, checkerboard-like compositions, labyrinthine geometry, and other large graphics extend across the 48×48-inch surface rather than repeating within a small traditional tile.

The designs maintain the same physical tile shape while changing color and graphic composition, allowing patterns to operate at both the individual-tile and room scale.

Material & Craftsmanship

One is porcelain with a natural finish and 6 mm thickness. 41zero42 identifies cold digital decoration as a defining production technology for six of the patterns and notes that the collection underwent additional development intended to improve surface resistance.

Design Applications

Tile X Design currently lists One for floor applications. The manufacturer specifically describes residential environments and high-traffic public spaces as intended settings, although the technical characteristics differ between the standard BIaGL and cold-glazed surfaces.

Specifying One

At 48×48 inches and only 6 mm thick, One requires planning as a large-format, thin porcelain product rather than as a conventional small-format decorative tile.

Technical performance also differs between the standard BIaGL surface and the cold-glazed decorated versions. Confirm which One design is being specified before assigning stain or abrasion values. Tile X Design currently lists the collection as Special Order EU.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is One a traditional small-format cement-look tile?

No. One scales the decorative cement-tile concept up to a 48×48-inch porcelain panel, substantially changing the scale of the pattern.

Do all One designs have the same technical characteristics?

No. There is separate performance information for BIaGL and cold-glazed products. Verify the selected design before applying technical values.

Why does the 6 mm thickness matter?

The combination of a 48×48-inch format and 6 mm thickness makes One a relatively thin large-format porcelain product. Handling and installation planning should therefore follow the manufacturer’s guidance for the selected material.

Can One be used in commercial environments?

41zero42 describes the collection for both residential settings and high-traffic public spaces. The exact design and corresponding technical specification should be confirmed for the intended project.
