Motawi Tileworks
In Ann Arbor, Michigan, sister and brother Nawal and Karim Motawi started a small art tile business in 1992 in a garage converted to a studio. They sold their hand-sculpted tiles at art fairs and the local farmer’s market until they eventually secured their first commission. Word got around, and soon orders were pouring in.
Today Motawi Tileworks employs about 30 people and creates beautifully designed contemporary art tiles in the tradition of the Arts & Crafts movement. Many designs are inspired by the works of famous graphic artists – such as Dard Hunter – or architects – such as Frank Lloyd Wright – or by traditional textile patterns or Japanese woodblock prints. Others are born solely of Nawal’s imagination. But each Motawi tile is an original jewel, embodying a sophisticated color palette and the finest craftsmanship.
