The Coverings Lounge will feature an innovative collaboration with the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) School of Architecture. Senior-level Architectural Design Studio students are designing and installing a suite of mosaic-tiled furniture that will transform part of the lounge into a cozy “old school” study grotto. The handcrafted pieces, created in a subdued earth-toned palette, will offer a welcoming visual retreat from the energy of the show floor.
This marks the third collaboration between Coverings and the UNLV School of Architecture, bringing fresh creative talent into the tile and stone industry with hands-on mentorship from members and trainers of the National Tile Contractors Association (NTCA), Ceramic Tile Education Foundation (CTEF), and other industry partners. The collaboration is made possible through the generous support from:
