Proud, past, bright future

There is a core tension and paradox to the tile industry in Australia. On the one hand, tiles are themselves a vibrant and exciting medium, capable of transforming relatively basic rooms into enlivening and engaging spaces. On the other, tiling is most often used in a fairly bland way, as a kind of “fill in the blank” for kitchens and bathrooms.

It is very clear which side of that equation the Tessellated Tile Factory (TTF) located in Annandale, NSW stands on. The product of over 20 years of hard work by husband and wife team Carmelo and Laura Bagnato, TTF is the kind of tile business that constantly pushes itself both in terms of tile design and customer relationships — two elements of the business which, as any interior designer will tell you, go closely hand-in-hand.
