Joie de Vivre!

The Jardin des Tuileries, or Tuileries Garden, bounded by the Seine, the Louvre, and the Place de la Concorde, is like the "Central Park of Paris," a fashionable focal point of the City of Light. It's a fitting inspiration for the new Tuileries Collection of handfinished ceramic wall tiles from Walker Zanger; indeed, the word tuile is French for "tile," and the Tuileries Garden actually sits in a place originally occupied by a clay quarry and tile-making kilns. With its seductive hand-polished glazing, the Tuileries Collection (pronounced "twee-uh-ree") draws its influences from sources as varied as 19th Century block-print fabric, early 20th Century fashion, and classical wrought iron decoration.An updated take on a classic motif, the colors include modern grays and browns.
