Bestow

Reframing the maker's heritage
Bandura Design

The Bestow porcelain tile collection highlights fiber arts in Bandura Design’s inaugural collaboration with MILE®stone brand Stories. Homespun artists’ weaving, braiding, and macrame knotting inspire the tile’s color, texture, and pattern.

For millennia, the art of weaving has been passed down generationally, culturally, and communally to offer heightened expressions of history and heritage. Time, tradition, and talent have, -and continue to- create artistry using hair, thread, tapestry, and whatever else was available to create delicate and durable art.

As many great artists are unsung, so often have been the work of women’s hands. Bestow celebrates their rich history and modern mastery with a tile collection to transform any space with imaginative expression.

Bestow celebrates handwork for the poetic survival skill it is. For thousands of years, the world over, women have handed down traditional knowledge of hand-made creations used to both survive and thrive as individuals and as a community. We are reframing the legacy of those who have gone before us. We encourage you to explore this collection and express your individuality through playing with the patterns you can create using Bestow.

To craft with bare hands that have learned from generations of homespun artisans before has an indubitable connection to the preservation of heritages. This collection, manufactured in the USA and environmentally sustainable, reframes the tradition of weaving into a modern tool for exploring pattern-making in the built environment.

Allow the Bestow collection from Bandura Design to empower you to express the stories, teachings, and emotions, bestowed upon us by generations of women.
