In Ann Arbor, Michigan, sister and brother Nawal and Karim Motawi started a small art tile business in 1992 in a garage studio. Today the company produces tens of thousands of tiles for spaces large and small, attracting appreciative collectors from around the world. Created in the Arts and Crafts tradition, many designs are inspired by the work of graphic artists (such as Dard Hunter), traditional textile patterns, or Japanese Woodblock Prints; others come solely from Nawal’s imagination. This calendar showcases a selection of Motawi’s elegant, richly hued ceramic tiles.
