From the aura of old Hollywood glamour to the ever present atmosphere
of West Coast elegance, California has a distinct design aesthetic all its own.
No one embodies this truth more than one of Mirth Studio’s most recent
collaborative designers, Barclay Butera. We’ve teamed up with him to create
four new tiles, each with their own unique style, which debuted this spring at
High Point Market.
Just as in his brand’s personal design style, a broad range
of inspiration influences his tiles. With the twisting filigree of his Sahara
print to the demure tones found in Newport, you can add richness to your space
without becoming overly feminine. The tile Link is reminiscent of a few Mirth
Studio classics while demonstrating his knack for using colors that are both inviting
and refined. Reminiscent of classic Hollywood Regency, the Lux tile fills
floors with intricate labyrinths of linework.

Since beginning his design firm in Newport Beach in 1994,
Barclay Butera has accomplished a staggering amount. Stemming from his success
in Newport, he has since opened showrooms in Hollywood and Park City, UT as
well as partnered with several of the industry’s biggest producers of luxury
home goods.

His enterprises span from lighting to carpets, decorative
accents to bedding, and even signature fragrances. The passion in his work lies
not only in designing a space, but creating a lifestyle that is both timelessly
classic yet full of modern twists. He’s even the author of four coffee table
books, filled with guidance and stunning photos.
