MSI will be on the road next week introducing
their new porcelain tile
collections – Pietra Bernini, Domino, Vintage, and Tektile—among other naturalstone products—at The International Surface Event.TISE
will be held at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada,
January 18-20, 2017. The largest premium surfaces supplier in North America,
MSI will unveil a variety of new products—porcelain,
decorative mosaics, and stacked stone—at
booths 3357 and 3459. Two standout kitchen and bath lines—Aspenwood
and Pietra Bernini—are both contenders in the Floor Covering Weekly’s Dealer’s
Choice Awards. Attendees will have an opportunity to cast their votes at the show.

In response to the ever-increasing market
demand, the MSI design team curated four new porcelain lines. Among them,Pietra
Bernini, a glazed tile collection, was inspired by travertine –
complete with fossilized veining in whites, creams, and warm gray hues. To
celebrate the popularity of vintage looks sweeping the design world Domino
Porcelain pairs black and white tiles together for classic—yet modern—flair.
More than fifteen high-style
decorative mosaics complement the line, creating greater
flexibility for upscale installations.
Interest in the reclaimed timber look is on the rise. MSI answers the call with Vintage, a
porcelain tile that combines the aesthetic qualities of aged barn wood – with
the practical benefits of porcelain; a
scraped finish affect enhances its authentic look. The last
new addition to the porcelain lineup is Tektile. A play on textile patterns, it offers all the textured nuances of
fabric in glazed porcelain tile. Since both Domino and Tektile work particularly
well in commercial spaces, the MSI design team expects to see both porcelain
collections in coffee shops and offices, respectively. Additionally, the
newly launched collection of Decorative Mosaics and Wall Tiles is filled with inspired designs and modern colorways.
The team will show off their expanded line of Natural
Stacked Stone Ledger Panels, showcasing chic new colors, looks, and finishes. Sam
Kim, Vice President at MSI said, “With the outdoor season ramping up, we’re also excited to debut our new game-changing
Porcelain Pavers Collection.The 2CM porcelain pavers feature high definition
inkjet designs that replicate authentic looks of natural stone, cement, and
wood. They’re easy to install, stain resistant, and low-maintenance—making them
ideal for homeowners who want designer looks without sacrificing practicality.”
Rup Shah, President at MSI stated that his
teams work tirelessly on behalf of their trade partners to curate bestselling
products, ensuring state of art access to trusted, high-quality resources for
all their home and commercial projects. In a conversation about the TISE, he
said, “This upcoming show in Nevada is an exciting one for us. We’ve expanded
our most important product lines for 2017, and this venue is an ideal way to
introduce these new styles to our trade partners – who will see many of them
for the first time. Our industry colleagues and customers drive all that we do,
and through the years, they’ve been invaluable in helping us shape and refine
