Introducing Circle & Square, a collection of carved tiles in honed marble and travertine. Mix circles and squares in a single stone, or alternate colors for a checkerboard. Either way, light catches the carved edges throughout the day.
We discover so much about the range of our collections when building palettes for clients. Unexpected combinations open up new ways to bring materials together.
Checkerboard patterns, rough quarry tile, and rich browns layered from floor to ceiling at Downtown LA Proper. Proud to have contributed custom tile and stone to Kelly Wearstler’s richly textured, eclectic interiors.
