Authentic Materials, Thoughtful Design: Why We Love ARTO

ARTO is a longstanding family-owned brand in the West, known for providing a bespoke experience for homeowners and designers. Making any project stand out with their striking tile portfolio, ARTO’s materials are handmade, all created by artisans locally in Los Angeles.

ARTO provides an openness to create exactly what designers are looking for, and is complementary to any project looking for elevated quality and unique hard surface materials.

When visualizing her new home, interior designer Amber Lewis looked to ARTO for the perfect exterior thin brick veneer. With so many options and the ability to customize within the collection, Amber was able to find the ideal fit with ARTO to match her vision.

In choosing the brick, Amber considered both technique and effect. As a designer, she understands the importance of investing in products to make a home unique. Some of the qualities that set ARTO apart are the quality and ability to customize.

Amber selected a handcrafted concrete brick veneer with a limestone-style texture, which will be layered with a slurried effect, ultimately producing an elevated, timeless appeal for the exterior.

“I chose the Bastogne, which has this beautiful, rustic, limestone finish. It will add the perfect texture to the exterior of my home. The artisanal elements of the product are important to me, as well as having enduring quality that will last for years to come.” Knowing the exterior would set the tone for the entire home, Amber chose a specific stone and technique to achieve the desired effect. The textured brick reinforces her classic, elevated design sensibility and creates a beautiful, lasting first impression.

“ARTO is a trusted brand I’ve used for years in many of my projects, and I knew they could provide a product and a finish that would align with my home and personal design aesthetic.”

ARTO had not only the quality of product that she was looking for, but the heritage-rich creativity to bring her design vision to life.

ARTO is an official partner of the Sunset Idea House x Amber Lewis project. This one-of-a-kind Southern California property is scheduled for completion later this year.
