Mumbai, India 01 December 2024– Bharat Floorings & Tiles (BFT), a pioneer in handcrafted cement tiles and a custodian of India’s rich design heritage, proudly announces the launch of the BFT X HCPID Shunya-Taal Collection. This exclusive range of tiles is where legacy meets innovation, merging timeless Indian design principles with contemporary aesthetics.
The collection was unveiled at a special event featuring a panel discussion with celebrated architects and designers, including Canna Patel, Kanika Agarwal Mahadevwala, Sönke Hoof, Firdaus Variava, and moderated by Krupanshi Jha-Panchal. These esteemed speakers delved into the art of handcrafted tiles, the evolution of design in India, and the inspiration behind Shunya-Taal.
The Shunya-Taal Collection reimagines flooring as more than just a functional element—it’s a canvas for storytelling.

The rhythmic patterns are available in a carefully curated palette of warm, cool, and neutral tones, while also allowing customization in hues for personalized spaces.
