Tessellations, Celebrations, and Coverings

The Tile Industry has a few key dates every year where we celebrate the material Architessans are most passionate about. The upcoming ones are National Tile Day and Coverings.

Feb 23 - National Tile Day

April 18-21 - Coverings (2023 Dates)

NATIONAL TILE DAY & MATH

To celebrate National Tile Day - learn about tile, math, and history by reading one of our favorite articles on mosaics from My Modern Met, and Take a Tour of Tessellations, the Mathematical Art of Repeating Patterns.  This is a homework assignment you do not want to miss!

COVERINGS FUN

Every year our company meticulous plans a trip to coverings, to strengthen our factory relationships, study trends in residential and commercial design, and of course plan to launch all the latest & greatest products. The journey to tile buying can be quite a long process to equip our sales team with the latest and greatest tile from all around the world. Thankfully we have been doing it for decades, and have enough memories to last a lifetime. If your headed to Coverings, here are some tips to help guide your journey:

• Wear comfortable shoes that are not new. This is a rookie mistake to wear brand new shoes to a trade show.
• Dress in layers. Classrooms and the exhibition hall can be very hot and/or very cold at any given time.
• Study the map in advance.
• Plan your routes using the Coverings apps.
• Take advantage of all the events you can muster and divide and conquer.  With so many great classes and events going on, it can be tough to get to them all. Find a buddy and team up & debrief over a meal.
• Bring Snacks - conference center food can be scarce & limited in culinary selection.
