monday morning eye candy: prints + tiles


i just returned from a whirlwind weekend in canada and wish i could have spent a week there checking out all of the incredible design shows taking place. i’m going to share some of my favorite pieces at 10, but i wanted to kick things off with a lovely new letterpress print from alischa herrmann of bespoke press and beautiful new tiles from a vancouver group called edgewater.


alischa’s new prints are limited-edition quote prints that have such a simple beauty about them. sometimes it’s nice to take a break from all of the color and pattern and focus on great words. you can pick up one of bespoke’s new prints right here for $25.


nicala from edgewater design in vancouver sent over these decorative glass tiles in a moroccan pattern that i thought was really beautiful. normally i prefer colored tiles, but something about the clean inlaid glass look is super sleek and modern. click here to check out more of edgewater’s work.

The letterpress posters are really cool.

And I agree with you that sometimes simple text can be a nice respite from all the color and pattern out there!

Thanks!

Love the tiles, perfect solution for a project I am working on, but I can’t buy them from the edgewater site. :(

i’m sure they’d be happy to sell them to you if you just shoot them an email on the site :)

There is something really wonderful about white on white pattern! Subtle and stunning. Thanks for the post.
