ON THE COVER:
Lunada Bay Tile recently added a new color and two new patterns to its line of Haisen glass tiles. While this exquisite collection is reminiscent of the decorative bowls originally used to wash sake drinking cups during the late Edo to Meiji period in Japan, today "Haisen" recalls vessels that display flower petals floating in water. Lunada Bay Tile's distinctive Haisen tiles are handcrafted by melding streams of colored glass that drift and unite in a multitude of hues. The swirl and flow
of color create transformative moods ranging from quiet and meditative to warm celebration and camaraderie.

ON THE COVER:
Locally sourced Rocherons Dore ClairTM limestone from Polycor's quarry in the Burgundy region of France was the stone of choice for the Louis Vuitton Foundation in Paris. The stone's earthy beige tones, with occasional dashes of pinkish-hued calcite veining, add a subtle color and exceptional elegance to the cultural landmark, which was designed by renowned architect Frank Gehry. Learn more about the project, as well as the sustainability of French limestone and how its use connected the Foundation with the community, by turning to the story beginning on page 66.
