Traditional Tile Patterns in Taiwan
Book
This book presents four kinds of traditional Taiwanese tiles from the 1920s to the 1980s, recording and cataloging them according to their shapes and patterns. The first part of the book contains the relevant history of tiles, with photos taken by the authors throughout Taiwan. The second part provides 100 featured tile patterns, which were re-drawn and given a Pantone color guide by the authors. You can use these tile patterns for personal or commercial purposes if you credit the book as a source. The book aims to preserve the spirit and appreciation of traditional tiles through their reinterpretation and reproduction.
