Tiles That Echo the Poetry of Life

The word “poetry” comes from the Greek word “poieo” meaning “I create.” Poetry is the ancient art that predates literacy and preserves memory.

The first known poems were chiseled, carved and painted on stone walls and panels, using pictures, drawings and petraglyphs to document life’s timestamped art and news of the day. Today, the 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 using the same crafting techniques and today’s clean new technologies that are 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.

We honor the visions of our creative customers, offering not just beauty, but unique, enduring, one of a kind pieces that elevate spaces and stand the test of time.
