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.

- Installation Tiles are direct glued to a clean and dry wall surface using heavy-duty construction adhesive. As is typical with solid wood products, tiles must acclimate to the space before installation and may expand or contract with changes in temperature and humidity over time. Installation services are available through Spinneybeck.
- Maintenance Use a very mild non-abrasive non-ammonia, and non-alcohol containing soap diluted in a room temperature water solution. Apply with a soft flannel cloth, followed by a dry cloth. Always wipe in the direction of the grain. Never use commercial cleaners, abrasives, solvents, or glass cleaner on any wood as it will wear away the finish. Never apply wax as this will interact with the finish.
- Variation Wood is a natural material and minor changes in color are evidence of the 100% natural origin of the material.
