PORTLAND, Ore. (April 11, 2008) – At the 2008 Kitchen/Bath Industry Show in Chicago, ANN SACKS, premier manufacturer and distributor of luxury tile, stone and plumbing products, unveiled Perennial handcrafted ceramic mosaics.

Each individual element of all Perennial mosaics is cut, glazed and fired by hand in a small Portland, Ore. studio. This method allows for a tremendous amount of expression with color, form and line.

“Perennial truly elevates ceramic mosaics to a fine art,” said John Hart, chief merchandising officer, ANN SACKS and Kallista. “The compelling nature-inspired designs imbue the interiors they grace with an element of serenity. “

Perennial mosaics embody movement and texture. They are suitable for all indoor vertical surfaces, light-use flooring and outdoor applications where freeze-thaw is not an issue.
