2026 CID Award Winner Spotlight: Commercial Ceramic Tile Design

The Club @ Crafted Clermont Photo 3

At Coverings 2026, we honored 25 outstanding projects that demonstrated spectacular craftsmanship and creativity in the use of tile and stone. This week we’re spotlighting the 2026 CID Award winner for Commercial Ceramic Tile Design.


Project: The Club @ Crafted Clermont
Installer: Visual Studio Plus
Location: Clermont, Florida, USA

Here we have The Club at Crafted Clermont as the winner for Commercial Ceramic Tile Design. Forget everything you know about a night out. Visual Studio Plus took Salvador Dalí’s wildest dreams and built them in plaster, velvet, and light. Walls ripple. Surfaces melt. Distorted mirrors trick the eye at every turn. Jewel-toned lighting shifts from warm and inviting at dinner to deep, electric purples and magentas as the night comes alive. Velvet alcoves offer sanctuary. A glowing bar anchors it all like a gemstone buried in stone. This isn’t a lounge. This is a living, breathing dreamscape — and once you’ve been inside, the ordinary world just doesn’t cut it anymore.
