Otto makes tiles too.
Imagine remodeling your kitchen to include custom Arts and Craft tiles! Tiles are one of the original interior design elements for which the Craftsman style became famous. All the more interesting that each unique design is handcrafted in a house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright's son.
