Reviews
"A truly inspiring and informative perspective on tile's role in architecture and interiors. So, go build something awesome. And don't forget to start with the tile, of course!!!" --Diane Keaton, Heath Ceramics fan "Heath is responsible for the most beautiful ceramics in America, and perhaps the world. Cathy and Robin not only make tile, but their whole lives are also about tile. Nobody knows it better and nobody looks at it with the same appreciation and love. This book is an expression of their curiosity and infinite knowledge for the subject, plus it's the only reference book of its kind." --Roman Alonso, Commune Design "I became aware of Heath tiles while I was a design student at UC Berkeley in the early 1970s. I'm thrilled that the important and creative legacy of Heath evolves, now with a historically informed understanding of good design, which is beautifully documented in this book." --Alan Wanzenberg, Architect "Heath is a very special thing. In our rapidly changing world, it is a company with human values, dedicated to quality in all that it does. There are lessons to be learned from its approach. At Heath's heart is a wonderful product. I've always said that materials carry hidden messages and, for anyone who struggles to understand that, I recommend a trip to Heath to feel the power of ceramics." --Ilse Crawford, Designer   "This elegant book is more than a coffee-table adornment; with its 51 vignettes of residential and commercial spaces, lessons about "what tile can do for you" become clear and inspirational. Too, the section on how we think about tile yields some practical and aesthetic guidelines; information on tile's mechanics (for instance, types, glazes, installation) nestle well with the photographs and brief descriptions of tile snapshots as playing with pattern, texture, color, whites, graphics, architecture, and art and expression. Though the homes and offices do represent the world according to Heath from Brazil and London, Germany and Vancouver, still, the overwhelming sense of design is pure California. A worthwhile addition to the interior-design and architecture section." --Barbara Jacobs, Booklist

    Nice inspirational ideas inside this book, but wish it was all Heath tile, instead of a lot of vintage tile you can’t buy anymore.
