Windows, Floors & Walls: Ann Sacks Paccha Tiles
From Francesca:
I recently asked my friend Michael at Ann Sacks Tile & Stone what was new in the tile world, and he mentioned that he couldn’t get his hands on enough samples of the Paccha line of cement encaustic tiles from Popham Design. Hand-made in Morocco by local artisans, the matte tiles have an Old World earthy quality achieved by creating an integral pattern with a metal pattern mold—read about the process at Popham Design. As the tiles wear, the pattern remains. For more information and photos, see our March 2008 post Windows, Floors & Walls: Popham Design.
