Product/Collection Name: The Loom Collection

About This Product: The Tactile Side of Color

Designed and manufactured by Portobello America in Baxter, Tennessee, Loom transforms color into a tactile design experience, exploring how texture, relief, and touch can give color a new physical dimension.

Inspired by sisal and handmade textile processes, Loom reinterprets the sensorial quality of woven fibers through ceramic innovation. Its relief surface combines a refined matte finish with a soft, woven-like effect, creating depth and subtle variations as light moves across the surface.

The collection works as a flexible design system. Loom Relief brings texture and movement forward, while Loom Warp introduces a quieter plain surface that gives compositions space to breathe. Together, in vibrant 6"x6" and 2"x10" formats designed for mix-and-match use across the portfolio, they allow designers to build compositions through color, texture, contrast, and rhythm.

A curated palette moves from nuanced neutrals and earthy tones to expressive greens, burgundy, and deep brown, creating possibilities that range from subtle to more distinctive architectural statements across hospitality, retail, workplace, residential, and other interior environments.

Behind this creative flexibility is Portobello America’s manufacturing capability in Baxter. Bringing design development and production together enables the exploration of color, relief, surface, and small formats while translating creative ideas into locally manufactured ceramic products using locally sourced raw materials.

Loom represents what Made in America can mean for contemporary ceramic design: not simply where a product is made, but what becomes possible when design, innovation, and manufacturing capability come together.
