clé notes

once again, clé tile has been honored by interior design magazine.

We often find ourselves waxing lyrical about patina, that elusive element you feel long before you are conscious of what you are experiencing. It’s something you might not be able to articulate but that you feel on a visceral level, much like ‘umami’, the sixth taste.

interior designer jeremiah brent’s approach to design is very much california modern. although he and his husband, nate berkus, recently decamped from california back to new york, his relaxed california approach is still very much in play.

when anthony d'argenzio of zio & sons collaborated with clé on a line of zellige tiles, he was looking to create an updated, modern take on classic old-world patterns, while still honoring the tile’s long heritage.

See how the founders of interior design house Studio McGee installed clé tile to beautiful effect in their own dream home.

designs (and redesigns) are an investment. whether it’s your home, office, commercial space or any other room, choosing the right design elements is an important part of the process.

the recent debut of the clé guild was not what deborah osburn had ever envisaged. having created and run a tile production business early in her career, she did not imagine she would be doing it again.

clé’s new california collection expands the guild’s offerings, retaining all the unique characteristics that define the guild in a broader presentation.

“authentic” has become a word that has special significance at clé. the concept of authenticity is not new for us, even though the term has become a marketing buzzword as the world seeks comfort in heritage products and artisan crafts.
