design sunday











Partners Xenia Taler and Steven Koblinsky work from their Toronto studio to create these great tiles. Xenia designs the tiles while Steven crafts the clay and glazes. They have been working together since 1996. The tiles are pressed in molds made of wood, or extruded. Glazes are mixed from scratch. All the tiles are decorated by hand.

I love how these tiles almost have a Scandinavian look to them. I have been looking around my house for the perfect place to hang one.


"We hope that one day, a long, long time from now, your children fight mercilessly over the wonderful tiles you had so wisely purchased."
-Xenia Taler

One needs to build the house around the tiles. They're gorgeous.
