We’re more than just a tile company; we’re a community of artisans, and adventurers who believe in the power of design.
WHO WE ARE
Founded in 2012 by former tile installers, and brothers Zac and Nick Barreiro, we offer handcrafted tiles, architectural products, and home goods inspired by our love for the literal earth, craftsmanship and travel. We are dedicated to reshaping what a tile brand can be by offering high-quality clay products and vast product and installation knowledge, connecting creators with consumers in meaningful ways. As a locally owned business, we proudly support our communities in Austin, Texas, and Mexico.
