Checkerboard Pattern Revamped with Modern Style
Casa Duet Collection by MSI
MS International, a leading supplier of flooring, countertops, wall tile and hardscaping products in North America, revealed the launch of the Casa Duet collection, reimagining the iconic checkerboard pattern with modern style and versatility. The collection offers a fresh interpretation of classic checkerboard aesthetics through uniquely curated Calacatta marble-look patterns and colorways ranging from bold black-and-white pairings to warm earthy natural tones. Both on-trend and timeless, Casa Duet delivers striking visual appeal while maintaining the enduring charm that has made checkerboard tile a staple in design for generations.
Each Casa Duet tile measures 24 x 24 inches and features a pre-scored surface that creates the appearance of smaller individual tiles, delivering the intricate look of traditional checkerboard layouts with simplified installation. Crafted from durable porcelain, the collection is waterproof, low-maintenance and built to withstand the demands of both residential and commercial spaces.
Find the perfect inspired design with Casa Duet’s three beautiful patterns:
- Calacatta Crema creates a soft inviting feel with cream and beige tones.
- Calacatta Grigio takes on a modern cool aesthetic with soothing gray and white hues.
- Calacatta Marquina embodies vintage glam with bold black and ivory tones.
“Casa Duet was designed to bring a fresh perspective to one of the most iconic tile patterns in interior design,” said Paulo Pereira, vice president. “By pairing timeless checkerboard styling with modern color palettes and the durability of porcelain, we created a collection that feels both nostalgic and completely current.”
