Mosaïques / déco intérieure
Il s'agit de la description d'une nouvelle gamme de carreaux / mosaïques pour déco intérieure (cuisine ou autre) :
Metal Collection – Choose dramatic stainless steel penny rounds and brickbond mosaics in for a contemporary edge.
J'ai trouvé que "penny" signifiait "grain inférieur" dans le domaine des céramiques mais je ne suis pas sur que ce soit la bonne traduction ici. Merci d'avance pour vos suggestions.

English term (edited):
penny round
disque / palet (du diamètre d'un penny)
I think you're right; I believe here it just means a mosaic made up of 'round discs' with the diameter of a penny — but watch out, is this US or GB? Because in the UK an old penny had a diameter of something like 1" (25 mm), whereas a penny in the US (= 1¢ ?) is a lot smaller, I believe. I'd have thought the larger diameter was more likely to apply in this decorative context...
Sounds like we're going back to the 70s!

: Yes, except that these don't seem to be 'dalles', but rather mosaics
