Heritage Tile introduces three sculptural tile designs inspired by Saul Bass’ 1960s Pomona Tile

Pam Kueber - October 23, 2017, Updated: June 9, 2021

Heritage Tile has just introduced three designs of sculptural tile inspired the Saul Bass’s 1960s designs for Pomona Tile. Also known as dimensional tile, or bas relief tile, due to the three-dimensional quality of the molding, these tiles are suited to true midcentury modern design (not so much midcentury modest.) These tiles could look particularly smashing around a fireplace or feature wall, where they can make an artistic statement all their own. Thanks to reader Brandi for this tip!

The company told me that the glaze palette is inspired by the bright, iconic color palette of Fiestaware, and the softer hues found in Formica’s boomerang countertops. Retail price is $26 s.f.

      Indeed.

      Note, there are many more companies out there today making this so-called ‘dimensional tile.’
