Tile Makes the Room, by Heath’s owners Robin Petravic and Catherine Bailey, winners of the National Design Award from the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, is about exceptional spaces and places—the kind you want to step into and examine each and every detail of—where tile is the main ingredient, though not the only star. From the dwellings of notable designers to everyday homeowners, grand installations and subtle designs all showcase tile’s role in the form and function of architecture and interiors. The book, for design professionals and aficionados alike, features inspiration on every page; a look at tile making; a unique perspective on color, pattern, and texture; and public installations around the world to visit and enjoy, Tile Makes the Room is essential reading on interiors and tile. Review "Required Reading" —Sarah Lonsdale, Remodelista "Celebrates how the building material is used to create memorable and beautiful spaces." —Tara Bellucci, Apartment Therapy "Design inspiration [with] expertly appointed rooms where tile is the star." — Architectural Digest "Filled with pages of colorful homes, hotels, restaurants, gardens, museums and buildings that show off the versatility and impact of the simple, repeating tile...The Project Details section of the book shares resource information about tile manufacturers and other materials to help make tiling a kitchen, bathroom, patio or other architectural projects a reality. The book also highlights gorgeous tile designs from Portugal to Japan, providing a thoughtful itinerary for travelers looking for design sites to visit." —Julie Wolfson, Cool Hunting "A testament to the material's versatility and depth. Featuring more than 50 projects — some using Heath tile — that span eras and are sourced from a number of countries, the book is a reminder that tile can drive the design of great spaces, adding color, depth, even softness to a room." —Carren Jao, Los Angeles Times "This elegant book is more than a coffee-table adornment; with its 51 vignettes of residential and commercial spaces, lessons about “what tile can do for you” become clear and inspirational. Too, the section on how we think about tile yields some practical and aesthetic guidelines; information on tile’s mechanics (for instance, types, glazes, installation) nestle well with the photographs and brief descriptions of tile snapshots as playing with pattern, texture, color, whites, graphics, architecture, and art and expression. Though the homes and offices do represent the world according to Heath from Brazil and London, Germany and Vancouver, still, the overwhelming sense of design is pure California. A worthwhile addition to the interior-design and architecture section." —Barbara Jacobs, Booklist "Heath Ceramics’ new book showcases designs that pair tile with other design elements in a room, ultimately creating a balanced and naturally integrated look that transcends trends." —Sophia Markoulakis, San Francisco Chronicle Best Design Books of the Fall: Sweet Paul Magazine and C: California Home and Style "With the purchase of the Sausalito, CA, Heath Ceramics factory, designers Petravic and Bailey were able to create a firm where they could direct the whole design of their product, from manufacturing to end use. Here, they encourage the use of this durable product by visiting close to 50 contemporary residential and commercial properties, located primarily in North America and Europe and depicted in more than 150 photographs, to showcase how tile has been applied in an array of creative ways. The authors include a section on the manufacture and installation of tile and diverse glazes, colors, textures, patterns, and designs. The book c
