Hakatai Glass Tile Used in Red Cross Offices

Hakatai Classic series tile was used in the "red crosses" at two American Red Cross offices in Louisiana. Hakatai donated the tile for the state-of-the-art COOP (Contiunuity of Operations Plan) building in Goodbee, LA. The new facility was created to enable the disaster response agency to provide a services quickly in the event of an emergency.

Hakatai tile was also used at the Southeast Louisiana Chapter's headquarters on Canal St. in New Orleans.

San Francisco Designer Remodels with Hakatai

Hakatai recently provided Stacy Burket and Trixie Martelino of TAGR Design with the glass mosaic tile colors and tools they needed to complete a private home bathroom remodel of a loft space in San Francisco’s trendy South of Market district.

TAGR Design put the nearly limitless color and design possibilities offered by Hakatai to good use, creating an eye-friendly blend with five colors from two different series for a full glass mosaic tile shower wall and bathroom floor. Utilizing Hakatai’s innovative custom blend tool on the web, Burket was able to perfectly meet his customer’s desire for a subtle, brown color scheme, but mix and match the percentages of colors and tiles in the blend to satisfy his own design goals.


With the color brown in mind, Burket visited Hakatai's custom blend tool and selected four colors from the Aventurine collection of nature-inspired ¾” x ¾” mosaics, added a small percentage from the iridescent Luster series in the same size, and then adjusted the amount of each color until he found the mix and look he wanted. The four colors from Aventurine: Honey, Rosewood, Henna and White Alder, touched off by the iridescent Luster color Snow, created an entirely new and fresh look for this trendy loft remodel.

“We found out about Hakatai about six or seven years ago at a trade show in Florida,” said Burket. “(Hakatai) seems to be a little more into design and presentation than other suppliers out there. They don’t just throw the product at you. They present it well and that makes it appealing. We liked the price. They get it to you fast, and with Hakatai you can do custom blends right online. Hakatai has great colors, but they also have a great depth of colors and textures.”
