tile is not just a pretty face

every tile is a miracle, so much more than another surfacing material.

tile is humanity, art and culture

it’s a symbol of who we are.

tile is alchemy

violence. tectonic forces. the alchemy. tile is no less than the living transformation of the raw into the refined.

tile is a collective act

the tile maker, the tile collector, the designer, the tile setter: each matters, each builds on the other. choose your fellow artists carefully.

tile is rarely, if ever, perfect.

in fact, it will be imperfect. we don't believe in editing artisans or alchemy. it's the imperfection that creates the beauty that endures.

choose carefully, patiently, wisely.

like any good relationship — and with care — a tile installation will stand the tests of time and the shifting sands of taste.

join us on this grand adventure. if you’re ready.

if so, welcome to family clé. because we’ve only just scratched…the surface.
