Those tiles come in squares of 50 x 50 cm (hence the name) and are available in selected designs from nine different collections, including; Artisan, Graphic, Silence, Create, Flow, Ethnic, BKB, Botanic and NOW. One clever thing about our standard tiles is that instead of being fastened using glue, original tiles can be fastened using adhesive tape. For this reason, original tiles can be used for access floors.  ![Bolon_Flooring_CopenhagenUniversity2_DK-1](https://blog.bolon.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Bolon_Flooring_CopenhagenUniversity2_DK-1.jpg?width=1995&name=Bolon_Flooring_CopenhagenUniversity2_DK-1.jpg)*Elements Oak in 50 x 50 tiles at [Copenhagen University](https://www.bolon.com/en/project/education/copenhagen-university).* ##### Bolon Standard Tiles[: Planks](http://www.bolon.com/en/floors/tiles/plank) Bolon's collection of standard tiles is made up by Bolon 50 x 50 tiles and Bolon planks. Planks is a stylish flooring shape that can mimic the patterns of traditional, solid wooden parquet flooring without being boring. Please note that planks are only available in Silence and selected articles of Graphic and Artisan. ![planks](https://blog.bolon.com/hs-fs/hubfs/planks.jpeg?width=1348&name=planks.jpeg)*Bolon Planks in [Silence Sense](https://www.bolon.com/en/floors/silence/sense) at WeWork Agency in the US.* ##### [Bolon Studio™ tiles](http://www.bolon.com/en/floors/tiles/bolontiles) Eight years ago, the Bolon Studio concept was launched to provide designers and architects with an option to personalise their own flooring solution. By making their own selection, Bolon Studio allowed customers to install the majority of Bolon's collections in our very first shape; triangles. Since then, the Studio concept has evolved to a current amount of seven shapes, including Triangle, Deco, Rectangle, Hexagon, Wing, Scale and 2017's addition; W[ave](http://www.bolon.com/en/floors/tiles/wave). Depending on the choice of colour, the direction of yarn and the fall of light in the room, the chosen pattern will take on completely different characteristics.   *![wave in ethnic](https://blog.bolon.com/hs-fs/hubfs/bolon%20tiles.jpg?width=1004&name=bolon%20tiles.jpg "wave in ethnic")Bolon Studio Tiles Wave in [Ethnic Kaise](http://www.bolon.com/en/floors/ethnic/kaise), [Bkb Metallic Alpha](http://www.bolon.com/en/floors/bkb/trend-metallic-alpha) and [Botanic Iris](http://www.bolon.com/en/floors/botanic/iris).* ##### [the Bolon tile Design Tool:](http://www.bolon.com/en/bolon-tile-design-tool) In our online **[Bolon Tile Design Tool](http://www.bolon.com/en/bolon-tile-design-tool)**, you can easily design your own graphic patterns, export or share them with clients, colleagues and friends.

Adidas, Zalando, Skype, Education First and Hewlett Packard are only a few of our many customers who have expressed appreciation for this tile. Its versatility, endless design possibilities and capability of transforming a room into an elegant, yet playful space makes the geometric triangle pattern an ever winning design concept that creates different vibes depending on where and how it's being installed. For example, a randomised pattern of triangles in various directions contributes to a more bold, energetic and playful feel whilst setting the triangles in a more organised pattern 'tones down' open spaces and meeting rooms.  If you're keen on geometric triangle tiles, be prepared to enter a world of options... ![geometric triangles in an elegant setting](https://blog.bolon.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Bolon_Flooring_StudioTiles_Triangle.jpg?width=1002&name=Bolon_Flooring_StudioTiles_Triangle.jpg "geometric triangles in an elegant setting")*T[riangles](http://www.bolon.com/en/floors/tiles/triangle) in an elegant setting.

The iconic rectangular form works well with all kind of interior design styles.  ![bergströms ur](https://blog.bolon.com/hs-fs/hubfs/bergstro%CC%88ms%20ur.jpeg?width=1350&name=bergstro%CC%88ms%20ur.jpeg)*Rectangles at [Bergströms ur](https://www.bolon.com/sv/projekt/retail/bergstr%C3%B6ms-ur)in Malmö, Sweden.* ![Brown rectangles](https://blog.bolon.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Bolon_Flooring_StudioTiles_Rectangle-1.jpg?width=1003&name=Bolon_Flooring_StudioTiles_Rectangle-1.jpg "Brown rectangles") *Rectangle; [Create Comar](http://www.bolon.com/en/floors/create/comar).* ###### HEXAGON: With Hexagons from the Bolon Studio concept, architects and designers get a totally new take on this classic.

The new, more fluid shape offers exciting interior possibilities particularly in combination with creative use of our exciting colour palettes. ![bene showroom](https://blog.bolon.com/hs-fs/hubfs/bolon%20bene.jpg?width=1006&name=bolon%20bene.jpg "bene showroom")*[Bene showroom](http://www.bolon.com/en/project/retail/bene-showroom), Germany. By brining the tiles up onto the walls, the design fluidity of ‘[Flow’ Stream](http://www.bolon.com/en/floors/flow/stream), [Alga](http://www.bolon.com/en/floors/flow/alga), [Coral](http://www.bolon.com/en/floors/flow/coral) and [Shell](http://www.bolon.com/en/floors/flow/shell) is beautifully showcased.* ![amazing scale](https://blog.bolon.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Bolon_Flooring_StudioTiles_ScaleClose-1.jpg?width=1001&name=Bolon_Flooring_StudioTiles_ScaleClose-1.jpg "amazing scale")*Scales in **Ethnic [Gabna](http://www.bolon.com/en/floors/ethnic/gabna), [Abisko](http://www.bolon.com/en/floors/ethnic/abisko), [Bkb Sisal Plain Black](http://www.bolon.com/en/floors/bkb/sisal-plain-black).* ##### [WAVE:](http://www.bolon.com/en/floors/tiles/wave) Inspired by the curvature of terra cotta rooftop tiles, as often seen in Sweden, 'wave' was developed in 2017. Its graphic profile and organic curvature make it a fluid, versatile flooring tile that can be combined in a wide variety of colours and patterns for a playful, yet elegant expression. With its innovative form, Wave can be laid in different directions and repeated at half distance. Its graphic yet organic shape means the design versatility of this tile is almost unlimited.   ![studio wave](https://blog.bolon.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Bolon%20July2017%20Theme/Images/bolon_flooring_studiotiles_wave1%20(1).jpg?width=1003&name=bolon_flooring_studiotiles_wave1%20(1).jpg "studio wave")*[Wave](http://www.bolon.com/en/floors/tiles/wave)s in [Bkb Sisal Plain Black](http://www.bolon.com/en/floors/bkb/sisal-plain-black) and [Now Anthracite](http://www.bolon.com/en/floors/bkb/sisal-plain-black).* *![terracotta inspired floors](https://blog.bolon.com/hs-fs/hubfs/bolon%20wave.jpg?width=1004&name=bolon%20wave.jpg "terracotta inspired floors")[Wave](http://www.bolon.com/en/floors/tiles/wave) in [Artisan Ivory](http://www.bolon.com/en/floors/artisan/ivory), [Bkb Sisal Plain Black](http://www.bolon.com/en/floors/bkb/sisal-plain-black), [Now Anthracite](http://www.bolon.com/en/floors/now/anthracite). * *![P4020027](https://blog.bolon.com/hs-fs/hubfs/P4020027.jpg?width=1003&name=P4020027.jpg)Wave in an innovative setting. * ##### LINK: The newest addition to the Bolon Studio collection, LINK has a rhombus shaped form that could either be combined with the other Bolon Studio flooring shapes or installed by its own.
