Tile that Makes Me Smile
Amazing. Innovative. Inspirational.
That’s Ann Sacks tile. Never before I have seen such an effective translation of art into tile. There are new collections appearing all the time. They craft some very traditional styles and patterns, but I smile every time I see an ad for one of her fresh new collections. Back in 1980, while some of us were sporting big hair, Ann was looking for the perfect wedding dress and saw a box of Mexican tile being sold as trivets. It inspired her. She first worked with hand-glazed Mexican tile, then she started a line to coordinate with Kohler fixtures. Next came a stone collection. Eventually the company started embracing a more modern look and feel. Ann sold the company to Kohler in the early 1990′s, but she continues to contribute to the line.
I have purchased quite a bit of of tile from Ann Sacks for my clients. Their customer service is top notch and they offer tile at many price points to fit your imagination and your budget!
