Saloni Forge Iris – Ornamental Metalwork Reimagined in Porcelain

The Saloni Foundry Forge Iris 45x90cm Decorative Porcelain Tile is one of the most distinctive designs within the Saloni Foundry Collection, combining traditional ornamental detailing with a dramatic aged-metal aesthetic.

Inspired by decorative forged ironwork and classical scroll patterns, Forge Iris features an elaborate symmetrical design with swirling motifs, distressed metallic tones and weathered surface effects.

Its combination of charcoal, bronze, silver-grey and muted blue-green Iris tones creates a unique aged appearance that gives interiors depth and character.

Rather than behaving like a conventional plain wall covering, Forge Iris is designed to become a key decorative element within the room.

Ornamental Forged-Metal Effect

The intricate scrollwork gives the tile the appearance of antique forged metal, decorative iron panels and naturally oxidised surfaces.

Dark outlines contrast against softly distressed mineral tones, helping every detail of the pattern stand out while retaining the weathered character of the wider Foundry collection.

This makes Forge Iris particularly effective in interiors influenced by:

• Industrial design
• Vintage architecture
• Classical metalwork
• Luxury eclectic interiors
• Mediterranean styling
• Boutique hotel design
• Contemporary statement interiors

Statement 45x90cm Format

The 45x90cm rectangular size allows the decorative pattern to make a strong visual impact without requiring numerous small individual pieces.

It can be used to create a complete statement wall or introduced selectively alongside simpler coordinating tiles from the Foundry range.

Natural Finish

Forge Iris has a natural finish, helping retain the authentic aged and weathered appearance of the design rather than introducing excessive gloss.

The darker metallic detailing and softer Iris colouring work together to create a sophisticated, handcrafted aesthetic.

Rectified Edges

The tile features rectified edges, helping produce clean and consistent grout joints.

This is particularly important with a detailed repeating design, where accurate tile positioning helps maintain the visual continuity of the decorative pattern.

Part of the Saloni Foundry Collection

Forge Iris can be coordinated with the wider Saloni Foundry Collection, including Foundry Gris, Foundry Ceniza and Foundry Bronce.

This makes it particularly effective as a decorative statement tile alongside more understated Foundry surfaces, allowing the same interior to combine neutral backgrounds with an ornate focal feature.
