Heritage textile and furnishings brand Kravet has partnered with TileBar, a leading design resource for tile and bath projects, to introduce an exclusive tile collection that translates Kravet’s iconic patterns into stone and porcelain for the first time. The debut collection marks the beginning of an annual creative partnership between two industry leaders.
The partnership extends Kravet’s design language beyond textiles and wallcoverings, giving designers an entirely new way to layer some of the industry’s most recognizable patterns throughout residential and commercial interiors.
Spanning six collections and 34 SKUs, the debut Kravet x TileBar launch pays homage to signature motifs from Kravet’s celebrated archive with statement making micro-mosaics, premium carved stones, and decorative porcelains. United by a shared commitment to effortless luxury and enduring craftsmanship, the collaboration feels at once deeply familiar yet entirely new.
“What excites us most about Kravet’s first foray into tile is seeing how our most beloved patterns—alongside entirely new designs—translate from textile and wallpaper into a whole new world of surfaces and materials,” said Sara Kravet, Executive Vice President of Licensing.
Kravet and TileBar’s partnership emerged organically after a series of creative conversations rooted in a mutual respect for craft and materiality. Together, the design teams explored Kravet’s vast library and reviewed the innovative production techniques of TileBar’s producers and artisans to translate these historic documents into tile.
“What made this collaboration so compelling was the opportunity to honor Kravet’s iconic patterns while reimagining them through entirely different materials,” said Eli Mechlovitz, Founder of TileBar. “Our team worked closely with Kravet to study the scale, rhythm, and texture of each pattern, then partnered with our expert porcelain and stone producers to identify the techniques that would most faithfully translate those details. The result is a collection that preserves the character of the original designs while celebrating the natural beauty, texture, and dimensionality that only stone and porcelain can provide.”
The first chapter of the Kravet x TileBar collaboration reimagines signature patterns across porcelain and natural stone through the use of three distinct techniques: carved stone, hand-placed micro-mosaics, and printed porcelain. A sophisticated palette of soft whites, metallics, and blues offers the versatility to suit a range of high-end residential and commercial environments, from serene and understated to bold and graphic.
The collection features:
- Ellsen, a floral-inspired update to the classic star-and-cross motif with hand-placed pieces of Blue Macuba or Calacatta Gold marble to transform a white marble base into a timeless precision-cut waterjet mosaic.
- Nautra, where organic, flowing lines create an intriguing juxtaposition of abstract shapes and geometric curves. Crafted from premium marbles (Bardiglio Gray, Calacatta Gold, or Cloud Emerald) with a tumbled finish, each sheet is composed of hundreds of individually placed pieces of natural stone, mesh-mounted into a large-scale mosaic that evokes natural waves.
- Moonwave, a highly tactile, carved botanical motif that fans across a large-format surface in Thassos or Calacatta Gold marble. A honed finish accentuates each stone’s veining and tonal variation for a sculptural yet understated quality.
- Rhodesa, a digitally printed wave pattern rich in tonal depth, offered in a versatile palette of blues, grays, and light neutrals. Based on a best-selling Kravet wallpaper, Rhodesa is made in Italy from triple-fired porcelain.
- Saltveil, where abstract lines and layered color combine in a visually nuanced surface with subtle metallic shimmer. Based on another best-selling Kravet wallpaper, Saltveil is crafted from triple-fired porcelain in Italy. (Recommended for wall use only.)
- Elowynn, a damask made modern. Enduring Kravet damask prints are paired with the urban appeal of cement encaustic tile. Crafted in Spain from versatile porcelain, this volume-driving collection features four distinct damask patterns across eight colors for a wide range of residential and commercial uses.
