TABLE Magazine and Tile & Designs’ Annual Design Industry Event

By Keith Recker

July 10, 2025

Pittsburgh’s design community gathered to network a bit, listen to the New Orleans jazz stylings of Tony Martucci, and peruse TABLE’s 2025 style and color predictions curated into tile palettes from Tile & Designs. Along the way, they sampled seafood boil-inspired bites by Graze Craze, cocktails by Prezentacja, and desserts fired in an outdoor pizza oven from Chef Anthony of Don’s Appliances. Sponsors Cambria, Don’s Appliances, INAX, and Lixil, were all on hand to answer questions about their latest product introductions. Tile and Designs founder Lee Knox, well dressed as always, was on hand to charm guests, as was the entire TABLE crew.
