Hakatai Glass Mosaic Tile


Hakatai glass mosaic tile found a home “deep in the heart” of Texas when Urban Jobe Architecture specified the top-selling Classic series for the remodel of the kitchen and two bathrooms of a mid-‘80s Austin residence. After discovering Hakatai nearly five years ago during her own home remodel, Camille Urban Jobe, AIA, kept its mosaic glass tile collections in her “back pocket” until the need to add color and texture arose for the remodel of a young couple’s home.

Stone & Pewter Accents


Ideal for a myriad of both commercial and residential applications, the Sumi-e (Japanese for "calligraphy") Collection from the Lunada Bay Tile division of Stone & Pewter Accents is appropriately, the firm's signature line. Shown here are 1-3/8" x 6" glass tiles produced via a unique hand-pouring process. Sumi-e folds streams of brilliant glass pigments into pure, crystal-clear (post consumer recycled) glass which bleeds into the body of each clear tile resulting in a stunning and deep color effect.

Stone & Pewter Accents Sumi-e tiles from the Lunada Bay division are available in 15 colors with both natural and silk finishes. Tile sizes are Mosaic (1" x 1”), Brick (1" x 2”), Large Brick (1.375"x 6”) and Mini-brick (.5" x 1”), Mini-brick Stacked (.5" x 1”), Herringbone (1" x 2") and Penny Round (3/4") round glass tiles. All Sumi-e tiles are complemented by the collection’s glass borders which are offered in coordinating colors.

Each Sumi-e tile has its own distinctive variation of color, tone and shade. Additionally, there are creases, wrinkles, shivers, waves and bubbles all topped off with a natural glass surface that catches and filters all forms of light … resulting in an amazing visual effect.
