Unique Tiles

It’s quite evident that Nathan Hunt, founder of Hunt Studios is quite passionate about what he does. The rest of his team is a dazzling array of talent from master carvers and architectural sculptors to illustrator and metalsmith.

I’m in love with their modern relief tiles. They are large-scale and honestly, too elegant for words.

The large tiles – some 24″ x 24″, are hand-made from gypsum, stone or cast materials such as bronze. The relief tiles can be used for walls or other vertical surfaces for both the interior and exterior.

Hunt uses an electric chisel to carve a limestone tile.

This photo is what made me fall in love with Hunt Studios. Custom work is their specialty.
Prices start at $330 a square foot.

What I'm Completely Obsessed With

It’s called Stilla and it’s not cosmetics you would find a Sephora or Ulta.

Stilla is paneling in tempered glass by Joel Berman Glass Studios. It comes in 3 thicknesses, 1/4″, 3/8″ and 5/8″ in a 4″ high repeating pattern with 3-dimensional texture. The panel is 53″ w and 108″ h and can be ordered curved, notched or drilled.

I think it is gorgeous and know of many, many places I’d like to use it.

Where would you use it?

Design Obsession

I seem to be Obsessed with Arabesque tile these days. It doesn’t matter if they are glass, painted clay or somewhere in between – I like them all.

The traditional Moroccan shape adds old world texture without adding a lot of pattern. The tile can look contemporary or antique depending on the material and color you select and the installation process.
