[Indianapolis, IN] — Step into a showroom, and you expect rows of samples, rigid lighting, maybe a catalog or two. But step into Natural Stone & Tile’s (NST) design experience and you’ll find yourself transported. This is not your average tile showroom. It’s a multi-sensory, intentionally curated experience that’s changing how the Midwest designs.
Created by Laura Gunderman, Owner and CEO of NST and a 30-year veteran in the tile and surfaces industry, this one-of-a-kind space combines global design influences with local accessibility, offering a showroom that doubles as a hub for innovation, education, and collaboration.
Recently, the Haven Networking Event took place on September 9, with NST extending an open invitation to the design, trade, and building communities to reconnect with this remarkable space and one another.
“This showroom is where material meets meaning,” said Gunderman. “I wanted to create a place where ideas spark, where education empowers, and where the design community feels like it belongs.”
Not just a showroom. A platform for possibility.
What makes the NST showroom truly unique is its transformational layout, designed to be used, not just admired. From fully integrated product zones to designer-friendly workspaces and rentable rooms for collaboration, the facility includes:
- An expansive tile library featuring marble, porcelain, ceramic, metal, glass, and natural stone from around the world
Material selection support and education, open to the public with trade-only sales structure
Event & rental spaces including a full kitchen, conference and board rooms, and options for private or industry events - State-of-the-art design stations ideal for hands-on planning with clients
NST is proud to have supported Central Indiana designers, architects, and builders for more than three decades and this next chapter is its most ambitious yet.
Haven Networking Event
To celebrate the community that helped shape it, Natural Stone & Tile hosted the Haven Networking Event on Tuesday, September 9 inside its Indianapolis showroom located at 5282 East 65th Street in Indianapolis. The event brought together professionals across the home and design industries for an evening of networking, inspiration, and experiential design.
“The event was a wonderful chance to open our doors to a broader network,” said NST’s Gunderman. “I loved seeing people experience the space as it was intended, not just as a showroom, but as a place where ideas spark and connections are made.”
Attendees had the opportunity to explore the showroom, meet the NST team, learn more about product offerings, and enjoy curated hospitality in the space’s signature tasting kitchen and lounge areas.
“The Natural Stone and Tile showroom is a true showcase of artistry and innovation,” said Angie King, Eleven 18 Interior Design. “Every corner reveals luxurious and distinctive products unlike anything else I’ve seen in the Indianapolis area. It was a fun evening of connection and a joy to experience such inspiring design.”
The event wasn’t a showroom tour. It was a celebration of connection and creativity.
Visit. Collaborate. Return.
NST’s approach is simple: offer the best products, empower informed choices, and build lasting partnerships.
“An educated client is our best client,” said Gunderman. “When people understand the products, the value, and the application, they come back. That’s how we’ve done business for 30 years, and it’s how we’ll continue for 30 more.”
