Shaw Contract Dye Lab tile draws inspiration from natural dyes and mimics the colour shifts rendered in naturally dyed textiles, creating an elegant and unpredictable visual.

By challenging the traditional piece dye process the depth of colour and random nuances, progressing from light to saturated, gives Dye Lab an irregular beauty which is harmonious with the natural world.

"We challenged the traditional piece dye process and developed an innovative approach that mimics ancient wash and dye techniques of folding and bundling fabric. The result of Dye Lab's manufacturing process yields an unprecedented depth to the colour with artful, random nuances, progressing from light to saturated — an irregular beauty, harmonious with the natural world." — Ashley Olson, Design Manager, Workplace Studio.
