MILE®stone’s Earthen—one of two carbon-neutral collections launched earlier this year—has been selected as an Architectural Record Product of the Year. MILE®stone is the manufactured brand of Florim USA and a leader in sustainable porcelain tile.
This prestigious recognition highlights innovation, design excellence, and product performance within the construction and architecture industries, honoring standout solutions that elevate the built environment. Winners are chosen by a jury of architects, designers, and industry experts who evaluate submissions based on aesthetics, functionality, sustainability, and technical advancement. Being named a Product of the Year underscores MILE®stone’s ongoing commitment to design leadership and responsible manufacturing.
The Earthen collection embraces the growing demand for the natural color and warmth of earth tones and the addition of texture in interior spaces. Inspired by the organic beauty of clay and sunbaked landscapes, Earthen introduces a palette that moves from rich terracotta and cool browns to serene shades of green, yellow, and blue, evoking a deep connection to the outdoors. Suitable for kitchens, living areas, spa-like environments, and commercial settings, Earthen offers a versatile suite of field tiles and distinctive deco pieces that bring depth and character to any space.
Collection details
Designed for versatility, Earthen is available in a 3”x12”, 12”x12” and 12”x24” size in the matte finish. The fluted deco is offered as a 12”x24” and the White Vintage Glossy deco as a 3”x12”. A striking 10”x10” hexagon and a functional 2”x2” mosaic, both in the matte finish, complete the sizes available.
For wet areas, both indoors and out, the collection includes grip-finish surfaces and durable 2CM porcelain pavers, providing a complete solution for any space.
As a certified carbon-neutral collection, Earthen is an environmentally responsible choice for designers seeking to create nature-inspired interiors and exteriors with minimal environmental impact. MILE®stone is honored to have Earthen recognized as an innovative product for the architectural and design community.
