I was wandering around Union Square and stumbled upon a store called Country Floors, they could totally do something like this. Wish I actually owned my apartment so I could rip out my bathroom.

These designs are really amazing. Not that I myself would use them, as they are a little crazy and busy. Wow those are really out there, totally different to anything I have ever seen.

So interesting to read a post about it! I never knew anything about the tiles. Just to clarify - these tiles aren't part of a new project - they've been there since the 60's.

Back in the day, you got to see Keith Haring drawings on the black subway poster boards. The underground tiles here are nice, but nothing I would switch out with Elizabeth Murray's "Blooming" @ Lexington Avenue & 59th Street Meh…I actually prefer the art in the NY and LA systems.

I live in Stockwell and see the Swan tiles everyday but I doubt many people commuting through the station have even noticed the swan represented in the tiles. I also love the tiles at the nearby Brixton station, representing a 'ton of bricks', very clever. The design work that has been done for London Transport over the years is brilliant, from the groundbreaking tube map design to the iconic tube station 'roundel', graphic design at it best.

In fact rather non descriptive or worse lazy design effort and work. Better to leave something alone than turning it into an eye sore. BTW, NYC subways have character too bad so many are being changed the old tile work is beautiful and historic. I don’t think those designs are all that great.
