Quartile 1 is a modular wood tile that brings the spirit of mid-century breeze blocks indoors. Drawing inspiration from the distinctive geometric patterns of concrete “screen blocks,” Norwegian designer Lars Beller Fjetland reimagines the concept in wood, infusing the design with natural warmth.
Offered in six wood species, Quartile 1 pairs with Quartile 2, allowing for fully customizable patterns, and features a stepped edge that mimics a traditional grout line, adding visual definition and a simple installation process.
Lars Beller Fjetland grew up amongst the mountains and fjords of the west coast of Norway, where he nurtured a lifelong fascination of the marriage of function with the finest natural materials. He established his self-titled design office—Beller Design—in 2011 while still a student at Bergen Academy of Art and Design and had his breakthrough moment in 2012 when he launched four designs at Salone de Mobile in Milan, Italy. Lars is constantly seeking to broaden his horizons as a dedicated explorer of form and function. His core philosophy is to design products that achieve a sense of both timelessness and longevity through an immediate, honest functionalism in form and aesthetic.
