DWELL ON DESIGN

Enjoyed my visit to the Dwell on Design Show at the LA Convention Center.  Since this show was all about sustainability, I honored the adventure with a ride on three subway lines to get there.  

The first Heath Ceramics pattern is Little Diamond Mix shown in Campari Red, Paprika and New Chamois.  
I've always love the visual effect of this pattern from ancient times until now.  Roman artisans worked this pattern below into a church floor.
Found some great new layout patterns by Heath Ceramics called Dwell Patterns.  Heath believes modern design can be functional and expressive, bold and organic.
This is a Wide Hex Twist shone in Canvas Sage and Vanilla Bean.  There are very few patterns for pickets and I love this twist.  If used for a kitchen back splash or bathroom wall it would be fun to cut a few pieces of milk glass or mother of pearl to occasionally drop in for layered texture and reflections.  Go to heathceramics.com for more tiles and patterns.

Another favorite find at the show were these great wall pouches.  Vertical walls on a roof top garden or patio walls can be used for cooking herbs or flowers bring a whole new look to outdoor art.  For more ideas and products have some fun at rootpouch.com.
