While each issue of Contemporary Stone & Tile Design has something fresh to offer, I always find our summer issue to be particularly fun to put together. For as long as I can remember, this issue has always been dedicated to “decorative and glass tile.” I find it appropriately fitting, since the summer months are usually associated with bright colors and a sense of being carefree.
As we prepare this focus each year, I discover tiles with more texture, depth and reflective qualities. The advances in technology are truly staggering. It is amazing to consider all of the options that are out there now. Way back when, I used to only think of mosaics when it came to glass tile. Today, glass tiles are coming in an assortment of shapes and sizes. There are ones that are made to look like bubbles, hexagons, etc.
