Sid Dickens Friendship Memory Block
About this Collection
Fall 2010 takes us on an exciting and exotic journey as Sid Dickens introduces his new collection, Silk Road. Comprising eleven distinctly original tiles, Dickens chooses a path that sublimely combines the ancient with the modern in this new series.
Inspired by the possibilities of future and ever drawing on the richness of the past, collectors will be delighted to discover a subtle yet evocative new “Bisque” finish. The new light quality enhances the porcelain feel of the tiles and offers universal appeal.
Silk Road creates a contemporary impression for the viewer with a range of images that entice the imagination to dream beyond inspiration of the past. By blending a rich but fresh colour palette and scenes from a thrillingly exotic history, Dickens’ aesthetic continues to evolve with a heartbeat from cultures elapsed and an eye towards the future.

Combining a painter’s eye and the experimenting skills of an alchemist, Sid Dickens manufactures full-of-character decorative tiles from his cozy Production Studio in downtown Vancouver – A utilitarian and serene studio-cum-production space where Dickens’ Memory Blocks are created at the pace of a few thousands a week. Quality is ensured by a fully integrated manufacturing process that guarantees complete control over the entire production line at every step, from moulding to pouring and hand-painting to finishing.
The traditional process of tile-making has changed very little since his first piece made back in 1994. The Memory Blocks are made by local artisans using the distinctive ingredient of porcelain-like plaster, ingeniously combined with time and patience.
This Sid Dickens Friendship Memory Block is available from Finch & Lane Interiors Melbourne’s luxury furnishings and interiors company.
