Femme & Function

The couture mosaic collection was created to honor female artists throughout history.

Each mosaic pattern is based upon a trade to which women made significant contributions, like quilting, pottery, dyeing + textiles, embroidery and weaving.

The collection is a stunning example of delicate design on vibrant and durable volcanic stone.

Inspired by Pottery

Inspired by Embroidery

Phoebe, a waterjet stone mosaic, shown in honed Dolomite and polished Kay’s Green.

The patterns in this category incorporate tumbled pieces, negative space and “stitched” lines to emulate the feel of embroidered goods. Patterns here, too, are named in honor of women artists, textiles workers and embroidery artists.

Inspired by Dyeing + Textiles

Inspired by Weaving
