It was a time when flight attendants were called stewardesses. It was when the Rat Pack hopped from New York to Palm Springs for the weekend and when the Beatles, fresh from London, played before the cameras by the Deauville pool in Miami. It was a time when these globetrotters and the style they inspired, popularized in current obsessions such as Mad Men, earned their own name: the Jet Set. Now, Walker Zanger celebrates the Jet Set with its collection of marble tile mosaics of the same name that captures the energy and flair of that storied era, interpreted anew for contemporary tastes.
Jet Set channels mid-century glamour in six different geometric designs—aptly named Starlet, Mai Tai, Oasis, Cabana, Globetrotter, and Poolside—with each available in both warm and cool tones. Field colors include Thasos, Carrara White, Cadet Blue, Mocha, and Café Bruno. The collection reflects the diversity of influences that marked the era, including Moroccan and Asian.
