Tiles That Echo the Poetry of Life

The word “poetry” comes from the Greek word “poieo” meaning “I create.” Poetry is a creative way to record the indescribable nuances of life, love, and the art of becoming. It is the ancient art that preserves memory and predates literacy.

The first known poems were chiseled, carved and painted on stone walls and panels, using pictures, patterns and petraglyphics meant to share life’s timestamped poetry. Today, the ancient muses of poetry & tile, continue to inspire us in more ways, through their evolving artform.

At Poetry, we echo life’s unique tapestries with some of the world’s most visionary creatives, who express their poetry with ancient crafting techniques and clean technologies, safe for people and planet. The designs are born of art and mindfulness, intended to stir the soul and offer boundless avenues of color, texture, and shape in order to empower personal expression, and find resonance for every singular journey.

Poetry brings 40 years of custom marble and tile finishes to the table. We honor the vision of our creative customers, offering not just luxury, but unique, enduring pieces that elevate spaces and stand the test of time.
