10 More Tile Designers You Should Know

Following the popularity of our last list of tile designers we thought we’d give you 10 more!

1) Marianne Smink

Embracing the imperfections inherent in handcrafted tiles, Smink’s collections are designed around lines and patchworks with families of colour curated for perfect mixing and matching.

Born in 1951, the son of ceramicist Antoni Cumella, Toni Cumella studied industrial engineering at Barcelona University before dedicating himself entirely to ceramics in 1970. Throughout his career he has been stretching global perception of tile and applying his striking ceramic visions to some of architecture’s most significant projects.

3) Erin Adams

Exclusive designer of six collections for Ann Sacks Tile and Stone from 1998 to 2010, creator of numerous ranges for Indian manufacturer Tempesta, for Imagine Tile, and for her company Erin Adams Designs, Adams’ tiles are in styles of all kinds.

4) Erica Tanov

Diverse designer Erica Tanov is mostly known for her homewares and clothing. But thanks to a collaboration with Clé Tile she is known to us for her stand-out ranges Fern and Jacobsen.

6) Sarah Sherman Samuel

As a designer of all kinds – from interiors, to furniture, to wall decor and art – Sarah Sherman Samuel is known for her effortless, timeless looks. Her Strands colection created in partnership with Concrete Collaborative follows that same ethos.

7) Daria Zinovatnaya

Full of colour, angles, and curves, Zinovatnaya’s collaboration with Ceramica Bardelli brings the best of her style to the tile world. SODA’s retro patchwork vibe will always be a winner for us.

8) Adam Nathaniel Furman

The vibrant, fantastical designs of Adam Nathaniel Furman, as well as his keen use of tiling for murals and public art, had us dreaming for a tile collection from the wonderous universe in his mind. And we finally got it with ‘New Town’ made in collaboration with Botteganove. Here’s to hoping for more!

9) Gio Ponti

Though the majority of our list includes contemporary designers, Italian design master Gio Ponti belongs on here just the same. Many of his designs still echo amongst modern creations, with his influencial presence still very much felt.

10) Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec

The Bouroullec brothers have a protfolio as diverse as their personalities. From spatial arrangements to furniture designs, and from jewellery to photography, their designs know no bounds and their textured tiling triumphs are no exception.
