What is SensiTile a.k.a. decorative acrylic tile?

Innovative building materials are not always materials with innovative physical properties like strength or safety. These can also be materials integrating technology to deliver spectacular decoration and implement the most elegant design ideas. A new type of finishing building material is a sensitive tile with acrylic fibre, which reacts to your movements, touch, or light sources. The optical fibre transmits light and reacts: the tile can twinkle, light up, catch and scatter neighbouring colours on its surface.
SensiTile tiles transport light from one surface point to another by Total Internal Reflection, the same principle that makes fibre optics possible. SensiTiles either respond to the absence of light (shadows) or an active and moving light source.
Decorating with this material provides new opportunities in architecture and interior design.
