Handmade products feature natural variations in color and texture, adding to their unique beauty. Subtle differences in hue, saturation, finish, dimension, including the occasional kiln-fired speck or surface marking, are part of the character of our tile. While samples can’t show the full range of variation, we recommend using them to assist in your tile selection.

A CLASSIC THAT GROUNDS A SPACE

Checkerboard tile has endured for generations because it brings order, rhythm, and balance to a room. Handcrafted in Minneapolis, each 4×4 tile carries subtle variation that softens the graphic pattern and gives it depth—so the result feels lived-in, not rigid.
Whether used on a powder room floor, entryway, or kitchen backsplash, this checkerboard creates a foundation that supports the rest of the design without overpowering it.
