This innovative restaurant features New American dishes with creative cocktails in a historic setting, St. Vibiana's Cathedral. Expanding on an original picket design found in the church, he developed the theme working with concrete, a dark charcoal color and large scale to match the digs new purpose as a restaurant. The classic picket design has a modern feel both in color and size. Robert noted that, "There is a tile pattern in the building that is original so I decided to use that but to really increase it to a much larger scale."

Here's one example where cement tile are used in a location other than the floor. For this project, the designers chose cement tiles for the restaurant counter at Parson's Chicken & Fish. The eatery offers fried chicken with a casual, hip atmosphere in Chicago. The bright red and white geometric Geo 09 pattern adds interest and balance to the clean lines and white colors of the mid-century inspired design. The checkered wrappers found in fry and fish baskets served as the inspiration for the cement tile design of this establishment.

"Just wanted to share our project that involved your tile. Stuff looks great, thanks."

The Coronet, a French-style Bistro in Tucson, Arizona, chose a classic Fleur-de-Lis pattern evocative of an era. Sally Kane, the bistro's owner, used an updated color palette in cool greens to achieve an eye-catching effect and updated look. The pattern is evocative of an era; but, the color choices are clearly fresh. While working with Sally on the design, she explained that, "The Coronet will be a French-style bistro. But, don't box me in. It will honor that style but not slavishly follow the tradition!" The traditional French floor tile, was a custom pattern Avente created for another customer based on a pattern found in a reclaimed tile from Normandy that is no longer available.
