Our inspiration
The UNESCO World Heritage sites served as a source of inspiration when creating the Extensu collections. The rich colours, patterns, and textures found in these wonderful, irreplaceable sites are translated into unique and beautiful flooring designs. Basing the Extensu designs on these Heritage sites adds both beauty and environmental consciousness to any space.
Our NATUR collections with lifelike wood designs, are inspired by natural World Heritage sites. The untouched, natural appearance of nature’s finest colours are captured and protected in these sites. The beautiful textures and colours that nature has to offer in all its forms, like the structure and colour of rivers, sand dunes, volcanic soils, shape and colour gradients of different plants and trees.
The Extensu KULTUR collection offers a beautiful stone design, which is based on historic, cultural World Heritage sites. The fine, solid, ancient materials used to create these impressive structures, lasting forever and containing tons of history, offer a wide source of inspiration for our stone ranges of tiles.
Okavango Delta
- A stunning natural wonder with breathtaking landscapes
- Explore the delta with a traditional Mokoro (dugout canoe)
- Home to several indigenous communities who live here for many centuries
- Offers some of the most stunning sunsets and night skies
The Extensu Okavan collection is inspired by the beautiful and lush nature of the Okavango Delta in Botswana, a UNESCO World Heritage natural site.
The Okavango Delta is a unique wetland system located in northern Botswana, in southern Africa. It is the largest inland delta in the world, covering an area of about 15,000 square kilometers (5,800 square miles) and is formed by the Okavango River, which flows from the highlands of Angola into Botswana, where it spreads out into the vast delta before eventually evaporating in the Kalahari Desert.
The Okavango Delta is known for its rich wildlife and biodiversity, and is home to many species of animals and birds, including elephants, lions, leopards, hippos, crocodiles, antelopes, and hundreds of bird species. It is also a popular destination for tourists and safari enthusiasts, who can explore the delta by traditional mokoro (dugout canoe), motorboat, or on foot. The delta is also an important source of water for both wildlife and human populations in the region.

The Acropolis
- Majestic, ancient Greek architecture
- The symbol of Greek civilization and birthplace of democracy
- Cultural significance as the the pinnacle of Greek culture
- Stunning views overlooking the city Athens
The Acropol tile collection is derived from the ancient Greek temple complex the Acropolis in Athens, a UNESCO World heritage cultural site.
The Acropolis is an ancient citadel located on a high rocky outcrop overlooking the city of Athens, Greece. The word “acropolis” comes from the Greek words “akros,” meaning high, and “polis,” meaning city, so the Acropolis is literally the “high city” of Athens.
The most famous building on the Acropolis is the Parthenon, a temple dedicated to the goddess Athena that was built in the 5th century BCE. The Acropolis also contains several other ancient buildings and structures, including the Propylaea (the monumental gateway to the Acropolis), the Erechtheion (a temple dedicated to Athena and Poseidon), and the Temple of Athena Nike (a small temple dedicated to Athena as a goddess of victory).
The Acropolis has great historical and cultural significance as a symbol of ancient Greek civilization, and it is also a major tourist attraction visited by millions of people each year.
