Les Tuiles

What at first appears to be a tile, glazed brick, or other "hard" modular system...

...is actually a lightweight and bendable, interlocking interior "soft" wall system.

Designed for a Kvadrat showroom by Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec, The Tiles (Les Tuiles) are made of compressed fabric and foam, each piece measuring approximately 660mm x 240 mm (26 x 9.5 inches).

Possibilities of color and shape are extremely open and flexible, given the basic modular design.

It's also highly transportable!
