What's New at Alloy
The Patio / ALLOY pool
Bound to make every design-conscious Sydney-sider drool,
Jamie Durie’s Patio has created what is arguably Sydney’s
most stylish pool for Sydney in Bloom.
Spectacularly clad from top to bottom in sparkling ALLOY
brushed stainless steel mosaic tiles, Patio’s ‘pool-a-deux’
could only be described in design terms as utterly ‘sexy’
with its sculptural lines and ultra-sleek finish.
“We wanted to create the ultimate ‘outdoor room’
and open people’s minds to the amazing functionality
of smaller outdoor spaces,” says Jamie. “The
outdoor pool-for-two was designed to carefully match the
curves of the body and was created with ALLOY stainless
steel tiles in mind. We’ve worked with the tiles before
and we love their utilitarian, high-tech, high-quality finish.
Plus they’re a world class product designed and made
in Australia, which, in itself, is unique.”
Jamie Durie and Patio join a growing list of high-profile
ALLOY fans around the world. ALLOY tiles can now be found
in exclusive hotels, bars, restaurants, boutiques, offices
and homes including those of film director Stephen Spielberg
and entertainer Celine Dion.
ALLOY brushed stainless tiles have also been prominently
featured on the up-market kitchen set of US TV show Will
and Grace, while the cooler-than-thou W Hotel chain has
made a spectacular panelled water feature from ALLOY stainless
mirrored mosaic in the reception of its Chicago Lakeshore
hotel – placing the Perth / Sydney-based company at
the pointy end of contemporary design.
In a few short years, ALLOY designer, Perth-born Jonathon
Worner, has taken his idea for precision-machined stainless
steel tiles, from a local to a rapidly growing, global concern.
Manufactured in Perth, ALLOY tiles are now distributed
from Milan to LA. Until ALLOY’s innovative approach,
traditional tile manufacturers had been unable to produce
high-quality, solid stainless steel tiles successfully –
making Jonathon’s product truly unique.
The tiles are now machined in 12 different styles using
a combination of sizes, configurations and materials including
brass and copper which can be used indoors and outdoors
to equally striking effect.
“We have been simply overwhelmed by the demand for
the tiles,” says Jonathon. “Their simplicity
and cool functionality have struck a chord with the design-conscious
market and it’s very exciting.”
