Tomorrow's Email: The Source & Story Behind this Hot Tile

8-20-tile2.jpgI found it! After taking numerous pics of these stunning tiles at Intelligensia Coffee in Los Angeles, I found their name, source and an interesting fact - they are made of tinted cement, not ceramic, and the process is an old one, developed in France in the mid-1800's. The email goes out late tonight...

Um - Do you mean the tile is made of cement and not porcelain or ceramic?

To say tile isn't made of tile is - um - dumb.

(Tho I agree - it's cool looking tile)
