THE BRIDGE TO SUCCESS<br />
MESSAGE FROM OUR CEO<br />
As we start a new year, I want<br />
to take a moment to reflect<br />
on the past year and all the<br />
exciting happenings that went<br />
on at TileBar.<br />
Last year, we proudly opened<br />
the doors to our first brick and<br />
mortar flagship showroom<br />
in NYC’s Flatiron district. This<br />
marked a huge milestone<br />
for the company; I couldn’t<br />
be prouder of the hard work<br />
my team put in to reach<br />
it. The 9,500 square foot<br />
space is home to our latest<br />
tile collections and is an<br />
extension of the interactive<br />
experience all have come to<br />
love about our e-commerce<br />
site.<br />
To celebrate this<br />
accomplishment, the TileBar<br />
family, top designers and<br />
industry personalities, came together in November for a night of<br />
drinks, food, and festivities. We had a terrific time as we toasted to<br />
the grand opening of the NYC flagship showroom and to the future.<br />
I’m also delighted to say we have<br />
extended our fulfillment capabilities<br />
by moving into a 300,000 square<br />
foot warehouse and are consistently<br />
working to improve the user<br />
experience of our website to better<br />
suit your tile needs.<br />
This year be on the look-out: We<br />
have several collaborations with<br />
talented designers in the works,<br />
expected expansion of our amazing<br />
team, and so much more.<br />
I’m grateful for all of you who have<br />
been on this journey and all of you<br />
who are just joining in.<br />
Wishing you all a success and I<br />
am looking forward to continue<br />
growing with you!<br />

Take the historical charm of encaustic tile up a notch with<br />
these modern, captivating patterns, digitally produced<br />
in porcelain to ensure their durability. Because of their<br />
versatility, they will set the scene wherever they’re<br />

RICHER IN<br />
HISTORY.<br />
Encaustic tile has been<br />
around for ages. In fact,<br />
while the name may<br />
be new to you, you’ve<br />
certainly come across<br />
the look.<br />
While tile usually has<br />
roots in Asia, traditional<br />
encaustic originated<br />
in Europe. European<br />
craftsmen wanted<br />
to simulate the look<br />
of Roman mosaics.<br />
They did so by etching<br />
patterns into stones<br />
with knives and filling<br />
in the holes with clay.<br />
In time, this tedious<br />
process paid off. The<br />
earthy-toned tiles, with<br />
their classic motifs<br />
livened up floors all<br />
over Europe by the<br />
1200s.<br />
Fun fact: The term<br />
"encaustic" is a bit of<br />
a misnomer; it was<br />
coined by Victorians who<br />
admired the Medieval<br />
tiles and thought they<br />
looked like a type of<br />
enamelwork they were<br />
privy to.<br />

VANITY<br />
VERSATILITY<br />
Chameleon Concepts is the brainchild<br />
of Shelley Stein-Bigajer, an interior<br />
designer and graduate of the Parsons<br />
School of Design. After working with<br />
countless clients, Shelley noticed a<br />
need within the vanity marketplace.<br />
Her vision was to design beautiful and<br />
functional pieces that could work in<br />
many spaces.<br />
In 2014, Shelley teamed up with Eli<br />
Mechlovitz, a well-known “Industry<br />
Disruptor” and owner of Soho Studio<br />
Corp. Eli is a proponent of creating<br />
seamless customer experiences while<br />
offering high quality products.Together,<br />
they founded Chameleon Concepts; an<br />
innovative bathroom vanity brand that<br />
celebrates personalized luxury without<br />
compromising on functionality.<br />
Years after inception, Chameleon Concepts<br />
is still going strong. Their latest collection,<br />
Alma, is the perfect fusion of form and<br />
function. The elegance of its design is<br />
highlighted by its high gloss lacquer sheen<br />
and beautiful drawer panel detail. It is<br />
available in 3 sizes and 6 colors and may be<br />
accessorized with one of a kind decorative<br />
legs and hardware.<br />

Durable, unique, and eco-friendly, these tiles are<br />

slabs of quarried volcanic rock and their unique<br />
characteristics are making them the emerging<br />
star of the tile world.<br />

Style: Subway | Materials: Porcelain | Application: Interior Floors | Sizes: 3x12<br />
This naturally formed volcanic rock has<br />
an organic aesthetic that just can't<br />
be emulated by manmade techniques.<br />
The tiles are finished with a range of<br />
beautiful glazes, giving them versatility<br />
and a visual pop without masking their<br />
natural texture or surface fissures.<br />
These tiles are as strong as an ox! Okay,<br />
perhaps not quite, but they are incredibly<br />
durable, thanks to their volcanic origins.<br />
This material can put up with cold, heat,<br />
and temperature fluctuations, as well as<br />
deftly rebuffing the advances of most<br />
chips and scratches.<br />
The Lava Stone 3x12 tile is available<br />
in 4 dramatic colorways and is the<br />
perfect tile to make this project your<br />
hottest one yet!<br />

GEOMETRIC TILES<br />
PLAYING WITH PATTERNS<br />
Our edgy and artsy<br />
Remington polished glass<br />
collection brings geometric<br />
tiles to another level. From<br />
the surface, the tiles — either<br />
brick-shaped or triangular —<br />
appear perfectly flat, yet the<br />
interior of each one has a beveled<br />
edge. This seemingly small detail<br />
catches the light, adding depth and<br />
dimension that makes you question<br />
whether you just stepped into an<br />
optical illusion. This unique look is<br />
available in four colorways: bronze,<br />
sepia, midnight, and slate.<br />
Meant to dazzle the eyes and<br />
be played with like a puzzle,<br />
grab samples today and<br />
see just how versatile this<br />
tile is!<br />

CODE<br />
MICHAEL HABACHY for TILEBAR<br />
Barcodes: Their function is a part of everyday life, but their visual<br />
appeal is often taken for granted. Simple lines come together to act as<br />
a language that identifies, distinguishes and guides. This universality<br />
inspired Michael Habachy's Barcode Collection. Each combination of<br />
various tiles creates a different play of light and shadow, while the<br />
shifting lines creates depth, giving added dimension to any surface. Just<br />
as the patterns are endless, so are the applications. These tile can be<br />
used however the imagination desires: on accent walls, backsplashes,<br />
fireplaces, or on building exteriors.<br />

The opening of the NYC<br />

important milestone for our<br />
company. It showcased our<br />
growth from an e-commerce<br />
only brand into a tech-savvy<br />
brick and mortar retailer. We’re<br />
now not only able to offer<br />
an excellent, user-friendly<br />
experience online but an<br />
excellent in-person experience<br />
as well. It allowed us to make<br />
tile even more tangible to you<br />
and allow us to get to know<br />
you a little better! To us, that’s<br />
a winning situation all around<br />
and we couldn’t be any more<br />
excited for what the future<br />

SPOTLIGHT<br />
With the new year arriving, our team took a<br />
moment to gather the major trends in store for<br />
the tile world in <strong>2019</strong>. Across the board, we found<br />
that there will be two contrasting movements<br />
occurring: big, modern, dramatic styles alongside<br />
traditional, handmade, classic styles. This is<br />
exciting for our company, since we have a ton<br />
of new collections that match the biggest trend<br />
sightings. So, read on to see what's coming!<br />

“Million Dollar Listing”, The New York Post, and Arch Digest. She’s not only<br />
one of the most ambitious people we’ve met at TileBar but also one of the most<br />
determined. Her work ethic is infectious, and her creative genius, hard to rival. That’s<br />
why when the discussion of working together on a tile collection presented itself,<br />
there was nothing to do but start.<br />
Elizabeth and TileBar’s CEO met at the opening of our NYC Flagship showroom<br />
through her interior design friend, Micky Klein. When it comes to business<br />
prospecting, Elizabeth does everything with vibes in mind. She runs her life and<br />
career choices based on vibes and energy and as she says, “I just felt good vibes<br />
that night which is what I’m about. I started speaking to TileBar’s CEO, Eli Mechlovitz,<br />
I got the feeling we’d work well together.”<br />
Unsurprisingly, our Eli felt the same about Elizabeth.<br />
From that moment until now, Elizabeth has spent countless hours designing<br />
unique-to-her tile and meeting with our team to finalize it. While we can’t show<br />
you the tiles until they launch, the mutual goal was to create a collection that is<br />
versatile by designing tiles that could either be muted for those who have more<br />
simplistic taste or patterned for those more daring. The<br />
tile reflects Elizabeth’s personal style and vision yet has<br />
mass appeal. When asked about the focus on creating<br />
the collection, she said: “It was on finding the perfect<br />
proportion and scale of the tile, as well as creating depth<br />
by playing with different colors and shades of marble<br />
to create contrast. Butterflies are my trademark, so I<br />
needed to include them into my designs.”<br />
Elizabeth Sutton has been nothing short of a delight<br />
and we look forward to unveiling her collection at Arch<br />
Digest’s show in Spring <strong>2019</strong>. Let the anticipation build<br />
and keep on the look-out for the launch of this one-ofa-kind<br />
collection. If Elizabeth’s hints aren’t enough, let us<br />
assure you, her tile is sure to captivate as much as she<br />
does when you meet her.<br />

Our sprawling New<br />
Jersey warehouse is<br />
the hub of all the action.<br />
Housed on a 26-acre lot<br />
and packed to the brim with<br />
our vast range of tiles, the new<br />
300,000 sq ft space is the equivalent<br />
of three warehouses. We've made sure<br />
that our distribution center is optimized for<br />
quality, efficiency, and growth while fulfilling<br />
and shipping out orders every day. That means<br />
26 loading docks, direct access to major shipping<br />
lanes, improved packaging, and the use of technology<br />
to streamline processes.<br />
We've also included inspiring and calm office spaces, designed<br />
to help propel staff development and performance. The on-site<br />
offices allow our team to smoothly handle the day-to-day operations<br />
of a logistics center while seamlessly liaising with HQ as and when<br />
needed.<br />
This state-of-the-art facility is a natural extension of the company and<br />
we've made the efforts to create an environment where company<br />
culture is able to thrive, just as it does at our corporate headquarters.<br />
