A Boston loft in a former textile factory receives a minimal, efficient kitchen at the hands of Bunker Workshop. The client wanted to be able to prepare meals efficiently, so a red steel pegboard backsplash lets him easily access cooking utensils. The cabinets are IKEA.

We create tiles in collaboration with individual artists and with artisans from around the world. We are always searching for new finishes that are both long-lasting and visually arresting. To that end, we are perpetually on the lookout for new finishes, and it often takes at least a good year (or more) to bring a line to market. We were the first to really promote the Moroccan tile, zellige, in the U.S. It took a while for people to embrace the imperfections, but now it is one of the hottest items we sell.

The faucets, which are made of copper plumbing fittings, reference the history of the building and its industrial roots.

At a home renovation in Connecticut, cabinet fabricator Michael Madore experimented with what he calls an "aggressive" metal-sanding process to pull out the grain from the whitewashed oak plywood. For the hardware-free cabinets, Julie Salles Schaffer looked to a drawer pull detail derived from Giò Ponti’s work—though she admits the radial edging is an effect entirely her own.

To complement the white-washed custom cabinetry in her kitchen, architect Julie Salles Schaffer has designed a tile backsplash to resemble "melting butter in a white pan." Daltile arranged her two-color AutoCAD design—white and off-white—onto a mesh backing for a small fee. To soften the edges of the cabinets’ drawers and doors, Schaffer requested radial edging.
