Lock It and Matchstick Extend Michelle Gerson’s Game On
Michelle Gerson’s Game On collection for Artistic Tile has two new plays in geometric stone tile: Lock It and Matchstick. Both debuted at BDNY this month, and both are cut to order at the company’s Secaucus, New Jersey, headquarters.
Lock It is the puzzle. Mirror-image pieces notch into each other, and every notch leaves a small window of contrasting stone. Up close, it reads as joinery. From across the room, it reads as woven trim.
Matchstick is the calmer of the two. A rectangle with one scooped end meets the circle that fits it. Repeated, the pieces line up head to tail like matches in a box, on the wall and underfoot.
The stocked palette runs from Verde Reale’s deep green to Calacatta Rosa’s blush and Breccia Pernice’s rust. Treat it as a starting point. Fresh off breaking the grid at KBIS 2026, Artistic Tile hands designers the controls here. Through its Tailored To program, the stone, color, scale, and even finish of each stone mosaic can change, in natural stone or glass.
Specified in its mini size, Lock It could band a hotel spa corridor. Matchstick, scaled up, might carry a restaurant floor without a single rug.
