FLM Ceramics recently introduced the Sound Wave tile series, hand-crafted by Forrest Lesch-Middelton. The Sound Wave series is comprised of twelve 6- x 6-inch ceramic tile designs, in two colorways, “Cast Iron” and “Inverted Cast Iron.” The series was inspired by 18th century sound experimentation by physicist Ernst Chladi, where frequencies are introduced to a steel plate balanced on top of a tone generator that when dusted with sand, creates unique patterns through tonal vibrations.
