Bestow 12x12 Matte Porcelain Tile in Saori Light Grey

Homespun artist’s weaving, braiding, and macrame knotting inspire the tile’s color, texture, and pattern. For millennia, the art of weaving has been passed down generationally, culturally, and communally to offer heightened expressions of history and heritage. Time, tradition, and talent has - and continues to - create artistry using hair, thread, tapestry and whatever else is available to create delicate and durable art.

Bestow porcelain tile collection highlights fiber arts in Bandura Design’s inaugural collaboration with MILE®stone brand stories.

Overview

Bestow porcelain tile collection highlights fiber arts in Bandura Design’s inaugural collaboration with MILE®stone brand Stories. Homespun artist’s weaving, braiding, and macrame knotting inspire the tile’s color, texture, and pattern.

For millennia, the art of weaving has been passed down generationally, culturally, and communally to offer heightened expressions of history and heritage. Time, tradition, and talent has - and continues to - create artistry using hair, thread, tapestry and whatever else is available to create delicate and durable art. As many great artists are unsung, so often too have been the work of women’s hands. Bestow celebrates their rich history and modern mastery with a tile collection to transform any space with imaginative expression.

Allow the Bestow collection from Bandura Design to empower you to express the stories, teachings, and emotions, bestowed upon us by generations of women.
