America is deep in a seventies revival — terracotta tones, curved furniture, graphic tile — and most of it fails the facilities test. Betty is the exception with paperwork: the look comes straight from a real seventies kitchen — Aunt Betty's, rebuilt after her years in Brazil, its bold tiles forming «a warm, undulating grid, modern yet nostalgic» in the designers' words — and the body is 2025 glazed porcelain with declared numbers: absorption 0.07%, stain class 5, acids class A, barefoot class C with DCOF 0.74.

Raw Edges — the London duo on Mutina's team since 2010 — turned the memory into a kit: three colours (Blush, Concrete, Night Blue), each as a plain tile plus four graphic elements — T Shape, Plus, Frame, Set — that compose grids, webs, mazes and optical illusions, laid random or planned. Fifteen references in an 8×8 inch format, one grammar for the whole floor plate.

Where the revival earns rent

Floor and wall, indoor and outdoor, frost proof: executive washrooms and showers, the coffee point that finally has personality, reception fronts, roof terraces. Grout on a 2 mm joint draws the grid; boxes mix in laying. Certificates download from this page; recycled content is declared at 20% under LEED 4.1.

FAQ

How is this different from the retro tile flooding the US market?
Three documented ways: the retro is real - the collection is named for the designers' actual Aunt Betty and her post-Brazil seventies kitchen, quote on record; the design is a system, not a print - five modules per color composing grids, mazes and optical illusions; and the specs are current: 0.07% absorption, stain class 5, acids class A, barefoot class C with DCOF 0.74, all declared. Most revival tile gives you the look; this one survives the janitor.
Does DCOF 0.74 with class C cover commercial restrooms and showers?
Comfortably: DCOF 0.74 clears the 0.42 threshold with margin, and class C to DIN 51097 is the barefoot wet-zone rating - so the same collection runs the restroom floor, the shower enclosure and the graphic wall between them. R11 completes the European picture. Final room-by-room judgment belongs to the designer, datasheet in hand from this page.
What is the smartest way to specify the graphic elements?
As a drawing, not a ratio. Compose the grid, web or maze on the plan - the four elements (T Shape, Plus, Frame, Set) each come in all three colors - then count pieces per reference. La Mercanti builds the laying scheme and the order list together, so procurement sees line items and the crew sees a map. Random laying is legitimate too: boxes mixed, as the manufacturer instructs.
Will Blush read professional in a workplace?
Dosage decides. Blush as a full field is a statement; Blush as the plain base with a Night Blue Frame accent is warm professionalism. The three colors were designed to work together - the catalogue shows them mixed - and the glaze keeps them stable: stains class 5, chemicals class A, declared. Sample all three side by side; costs are fully credited at order confirmation.
Can it go outside, and what documents back a green submittal?
Declared for indoor and outdoor use, floor and wall, frost resistant to ISO 10545/12 - a roof terrace can extend the same grid. LEED 4.1 recycled content is declared at 20%, with EPD, VOC emissions and SVHC declaration available on request through La Mercanti.

A seventies floor that passes facilities review

Five moves for US architects and workplace teams specifying Betty across washrooms, coffee points and terraces - nostalgia with line items.

Anchor each zone in one color
Blush for warmth, Concrete for calm, Night Blue for authority. One lead color per zone keeps the revival curated, not thematic.
Concentrate the graphics
Plain fields everywhere, one composed wall or floor inset per room - grids and mazes work as focal points, not wallpaper.
Turn the drawing into the order
Compose on plan, count per reference, order with cutting allowance. La Mercanti converts the scheme into the exact piece list.
Spec the numbers, not the vibe
Barefoot class C, DCOF 0.74, R11, stain class 5, absorption 0.07%, frost proof - declared values from this page's datasheet.
Manage lot and install
Calibre per production lot - request ahead; mix boxes; hold the 2 mm joint that draws the grid. La Mercanti bundles quantities and freight with your GC.
