Nipping on the heels of the upcoming Dwell on Design show next week here in Los Angeles (where you might see a few Apartment Therapy contributors roaming the floor, so please say "hello" if you're there between the 25th-27th) is a collaboration announcement from two personal favorites, Heath Ceramics and Dwell.
Heath Ceramics will be unveiling its newest tile line, “Dwell Patterns”, a modular tile system comprised of three tile shapes, half hex, wide hex, and little diamond, meant to be used in combination and interchangeably.
We think Catherine Bailey and Robin Petravic of Heath Ceramics have done a great job of merging the Dwell aesthetic with their own recognizable handcrafted-warmth that characterizes their whole product line (and we've been eyeing their tableware line more regularly recently as we begin decorating our own space). It doesn't hurt that the three colors they chose are amongst our favorites, and one or all should work in a wide variety of interior spaces.
"Dwell Patterns" will also mark the expansion of Heath’s in-stock tile options. Two white glazes, a glossy and a matte in each shape, will be made available in stock in four and twelve-square-foot boxes, making the quality and beauty of hand crafted tiles further accessible to customers.
As always, the new collection maintains the company's rigorous standards of craft and quality. The tiles are all created using the vitreous Heath Ceramics clay body, which is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Prices range from $20-$40/square foot, depending on the various made-to-order and in-stock options available.
We can't wait to check these out in person next week on the Dwell on Design show floor, because as nice as these preview images are, tilework has to be seen and touched in person to be truly appreciated. We've got our eyes on both the subtle white and the vibrant turquoise designs, with the hopes that Heath and Dwell have future plans to expand the line with further patterns and colors.






Commercial Flour Sa...
It's a shame. These are beautiful patterns, but won't they look odd when repeated in an environment? The 12x12" grout lines that the tiles will create does not work with these patterns. The beige/red and the blue tiles should be a hexagon shapes so that the pattern is continuous when installed. The fractal leaf pattern should have an irregular edge that matches the design. These products look rushed and not well thought out.
So neat but I'm afraid of how much they will cost, heath & dwell? Oi!
Comicgeek, they're not 12x12" tiles. Look at their website . . .

Thanks Drivel, I stand corrected. In that case these are Fantastic!
GORGEOUS. I'm especially digging the wide hex stack - it would make for an amazing bathroom or backsplash. And I love that you can get them in any of their glazes. However - I think they would cost a fortune to have installed - they're so tiny!
If they made these in red, yellow or teal, I'd be all over them.
Turquoise? No thanks. Too common.
Yeah, cuz red is SO rare.
@zazzu - They DO make then in red, yellow, and teal - and all of their other glazes!

And besides, people who live in teal houses shouldn't throw stones at their *very close* turquoise neighbors.
I friggin' love you, Patrick.
Hi,
I am surprized that no-one but me has posted these great graphic mosaic tile patterns- they come in 12" x 12" squares and go right up.

I am using the black in my kitchen. The other colors are red and marrone. They are $49 per square foot and you don't need to spend more on on installation. The colors are limited in this style however. Bisazza has other mosaic patterns and colors- this was- I think the cheapest- but it suits me fine.
Here is a page of their fun mosaics-

These are some great modular tiles in an Asian style- $29 per square foot and in great colors- you can make your own designs.
I so love Heath Ceramics - These are a great addition to their line!
I love the Tropics Blue.
What you can't see from the photo here is that this is a crackled glaze - Absolutely beautiful in person.
the heath tiles are great. but i have long been obsessed with the asanoha pattern, and the hoshi tiles by soli appear to be that pattern. now i am going to have to obsesss about them...
thanks @daikini123
gorgeous tiles.. i love the white and the blue one..
I adore the "wide hex twist" -- I've never seen tile with such a dynamic layout!
The only one I think is interesting is the creamy white....the combination of colors in brown, beige and maroon are really ugly. The turquoise doesn't have enough variation in color tones to be interesting. I would never pay even close to 49.00 a square foot for something like this when there are so many beautiful tiles out there...check out Mosaic Tiles in Rockville Pike (Washington DC) area.
I saw these in person the Dwell on Design show this past weekend and they are gorgeous!! You can also choose from ANY of their glazes, so the color and pattern possibilities are virtually endless.

Yeah Patrick (the other one) is damn witty.
