Neisha Crosland – Tattoo Series

De Ferranti's stencilled limestone tiles in the Neisha Crosland Tattoo Series bring the designer's precise approach to repeat pattern onto stone. The collaboration translates motifs into a surface where the mineral ground remains visible, so pattern and material carry equal weight rather than the decoration reading as a separate printed layer.

The original series draws inspiration from varied sources, including Cuban floors, geometric cut-paper or lino-like forms, lustreware, wrought iron and the movement of Flamenco costume. Several designs form part of De Ferranti's ready-to-specify stencilled limestone range, while project-specific customisation can be discussed where the design and material allow.

Stencilled Limestone Tiles by Neisha Crosland

The six designs demonstrate how one technique can support very different rhythms. Cocteau develops a curving repeat inspired by wrought iron, while Flamenco uses crescents and dots to produce a more animated field. Matchsticks begins with simple linear units, Molly takes cues from Cuban flooring, Parquet reworks the visual authority of a painted wooden floor and Radar turns a diagonal step into a kaleidoscopic repeat. De Ferranti's Neisha Crosland collaboration provides broader context for the designer's continuing relationship with colour, ornament and hand-finished surfaces.

Planning a Designer Stone Floor

A stencilled floor should be set out as a complete composition, not tile by tile. Review enough modules to understand the repeat, decide where borders or plain fields begin, and position thresholds so they do not cut awkwardly through the strongest parts of the motif. Samples should be judged with the intended stone, lighting and nearby materials. For walls, scale and viewing distance become equally important, particularly where cabinetry, mirrors or sanitary fittings interrupt the pattern.
