About Ann Sacks

Founded over 40 years ago in Portland, Oregon, Ann Sacks began with a focus on artisan tile and has since grown into a full-scale design destination. Today, the brand’s offerings extend well beyond tile to include slabs, stone furniture, bathroom fixtures, fireplaces, and accessories. Each of Ann Sacks’ inspired collections is selected or crafted with a designer’s eye for materiality and form.

With 21 showrooms and slab galleries across North America, Ann Sacks is still a trusted partner to the trade after all these years. From custom ceramic tile made in its Portland factory to globally sourced stone slabs in exclusive colorways, the brand combines artistry, scale, and service for residential and commercial projects alike.

Here, designers will find unique collections ranging from a partnership with Studio McGee that celebrates inviting natural materials to one with Kelly Wearstler that honors rich tones and glazes. Regardless, Ann Sacks will empower you to create the most elegant bathroom interior, kitchen, or fireplace surround for your next project.

Now part of the Kohler portfolio, Ann Sacks continues to marry heritage craftsmanship with forward-thinking design. Whether you’re sourcing a handcrafted Moroccan zellige or specifying a monolithic marble vanity, Ann Sacks offers products that are as expressive as they are enduring. Beautiful and timeless pieces abound.

Glass

Offering depth, luminosity, and heat resistance, Ann Sacks glass tile is ideal for fireplaces, pool surrounds, and backsplashes. The Versailles collection, inspired by antique mirror finishes, adds a subtle, reflective charm.

Terra Cotta & Zellige

Steeped in traditional Moroccan, Spanish, and French influences, Ann Sacks’ terra cotta tiles—including the Idris by Aït Manos collection—bring hand-crafted authenticity and global texture to modern interiors.

Slabs

With dedicated slab galleries in cities like Dallas, Nashville, and Long Island City, Ann Sacks gives designers access to curated global stone slabs—from striking marbles to bold terrazzo—available for counters, vanities, furniture, and more.

Beyond Surfaces

The brand’s expansion into furniture and more includes vanities, bathtubs, Ann Sacks stone furniture, and fireplaces. Collections like Thurman and Genevieve combine architectural form with natural stone to turn functional pieces into sculptural moments that never lose their shine. Its line of luxury bath accessories elevates any space while its kitchen accessories complement both contemporary and traditional aesthetics.

Recent Ann Sacks Collections to Explore

Ann Sacks continues to partner with visionary designers and global artisans. Together, they release collections that push the boundaries of texture, pattern, and narrative. The following three recent releases capture the brand’s signature blend of craftsmanship, material innovation, and distinctive point of view.

Andy Fleishman Brass

With its shimmering inlays and sculptural surfaces, Andy Fleishman Brass brings a celestial quality to concrete. This collection, which is the fourth exclusive line Fleishman has created for Ann Sacks, reimagines terrazzo with embedded brass and mother-of-pearl.

Available in seven refined tones, these individually hand-poured tiles are crafted by a dedicated team outside Raleigh, North Carolina, where Fleishman’s original studio and fabrication methods were developed. The collection reflects his signature style: balanced, refined, and deeply expressive. No two tiles are quite the same.

Designers seeking a concrete tile that bridges artisan craftsmanship with bold visual impact will find this collection versatile for walls, feature fireplaces, or even elevated flooring applications.

Ashton Meadows by Studio McGee

Created in collaboration with Studio McGee, Ashton Meadows brings a sense of romanticism and playfulness to traditional ceramic tile. The line’s scalloped forms and gently nostalgic color palette reflect Studio McGee’s signature aesthetic: fresh, approachable, and classically-inspired.

Made with 60% recycled content, Ashton Meadows balances sustainability with style—something clients increasingly ask about. Its five colorways are versatile enough for neutral spaces, yet detailed enough to bring a bit of personality to backsplashes, powder rooms, or tiled fireplace surrounds.

You can learn more about Ann Sack’s eye on sustainability and how Kohler WasteLAB takes “landfill-bound materials left behind after the manufacturing process and converts them [into functional pieces]” for its collections here.

Idris by Aït Manos

Rooted in centuries-old Moroccan zellige tradition, Idris by Aït Manos is handmade by sixth- and seventh-generation artisans using techniques passed down for over a millennium. Each meticulously crafted tile is molded, glazed, and fired in the Aït Manos workshops.

With subtle matte finishes and earthy tones, the Idris collection is a fresh take on traditional terra cotta. Its hand-formed edges and tonal variation make every installation feel intentional and alive. The collection is well-suited for designers seeking to add depth and authenticity to walls, floors, or niche applications. These tiles are particularly perfect for Mediterranean- or bohemian-influenced spaces.
