    O A X A C A

    Oaxaca is a place where tradition persists, to the delight of anyone who visits. These new designs want to capture this timelessness, imagining what might have inspired the marvelous artisans that lived here hundreds of years ago.

    X O C H I T L

    If you translate Xochitl from Nahuatl to English, the closest match would be “Flower.” Rohin, who is fascinated with the unique fauna in Oaxaca, chose this name to honor the diverse and colorful region. For the artist, Xochitl tile taps into the unique beauty of Oaxaca in every piece.

    GROUT JOINT

    Grout spacing for clay tile can be between 1/16”-1/8”. Due to size variation in clay tile, a smaller grout joint can create uneven grout lines, therefore larger grout lines can be easier to install. This is a recommendation, so feel free to consult us if you need additional guidance.
