The KISMET BASICS page was produced with US residential customers in mind. If you’re a non-US customer, Kismet CAN be shipped to you–UK, Europe, Africa, Australasia–but please contact us for pricing and lead times. Also, if you are a designer working on a larger commercial project, please consult with Kismet to receive a quote.

We will soon be publishing our Installation and Care document which you will also be able to access here.

KISMET is now stocking popular Hexagon #8 in three gorgeous colors: the blue and grey combination, the green tonal, and the hot orange and gold combination–all as featured in our gallery of installation photos.  This is the perfect option for customers who:

*wish to order a smaller amount of tile – you can order as little as 25sf of tile!

*need immediate shipment (after February 2012)

*do not wish to customize the color of their tile (because you love what you’ve seen already!).

KISMET will update the gallery showing available tiles and amounts weekly, and we’ll be adding more colors and different designs soon!

While living in the Southwest of France from 2008 to 2010, she was finally able to move forward with her long-held desire to produce a line of cement tile, a material with which she was familiar and had always admired from her childhood in San Antonio, where cement encaustic tile is widely used in the gorgeous Spanish Revival architecture so prevalent in the area. Working with one of the most respected factories in Morocco, Tracey now brings you KISMET TILE.

KISMET TILE is cement tile crafted according to traditional materials and methods but with bold, modern motifs. Still there, however, is the intricacy of patterning and possibility which makes the traditional designs so compelling.

While you can peruse the many patterns shown here on the website and download THE BIG BOOK OF KISMET to plumb for pattern and color ideas, the reality of Kismet is that it’s INFINITE. If you see something here that’s perfect for you, note the reference and let us know and we’ll go from there–on the other hand, if you’d like to put your own spin on your project, or if you’d like to work with Tracey on a wholly unique custom installation, please let us know.

Kismet Tile can be used for floors or walls, indoor and in some climates even out-of-doors. It’s suitable for residential use as well as high-traffic commercial installations, where it’s been used for years in Europe.
