Crossville's New Buenos Aires Mood Porcelain Tile Captures the Spirit of the Tango09/15/2006 Crossville's New Buenos Aires Mood Captures the Fluidity and Movement of Argentina's Tango Crossville, TN ‚¬â€œ Crossville ® introduces Buenos Aires Mood, a sophisticated new Porcelain Stone ® tile series that outperforms Mother Nature's best ‚¬â€œ while paying homage to Argentina's famous city and its people. Using Multistrato, a proprietary technology that was three years in development, this tile was created to allow for subtle shading (V3) and flow from tile to tile within each colorway. “There is a fluidity and movement within this tile ‚¬â€œ think tango! ‚¬â€œ that has been virtually impossible to capture using more traditional manufacturing methods, explains Barbara Schirmeister, Crossville's color and design consultant. Buenos Aires Mood is available in three surface textures for both commercial and residential use: one has the texture and slip-resistance of slate, and may be used for interior as well as exterior horizontal surfaces and paving; the other two have the visual elegance of polished and unpolished marble. Because a key feature of this product is the consistency of its color, there is little discernable difference among the polished, unpolished and textured finishes, allowing them to be blended in an installation without changing the visual image of the tile. Now you can carry the same look from the exterior straight into the family room or kitchen, corporate cafeteria or lobby. Each of the five colorways within the Buenos Aires Series differs from tile to tile, just like the random coloring found in nature's paint box, and each represents a location or cultural activity intertwined with the Buenos Aires mystique: Polo, a creamy white on white with a hint of beige and grey veining; La Boca, a warm, true camel; Pampa, a sumptuous blending of grey and beige; Recoleta, a chocolate
