This time of year, exotic patterns seem to make the cooling weather a bit more bearable. Take the new Grafik collection from Metolius Ridge: the handmade tiles feature bold designs that call to summer evenings in foreign lands.

Tiles are made to order in the company’s Eugene, Oregon, studio

Handcrafted in the company’s Oregon studio, the line features four patterns: Cy’s Clover, Bird, Kaleidoscope, and Arabesque. Each pattern is painted by hand, so individual tiles have the unique variations not found in mass-produced surfaces. The line is ideal for a range of horizontal and vertical applications, including murals, back splashes, and fireplace surrounds. The tiles measure 8 by 8 inches.
