Heritage: Frank Lloyd Wright

The history of INAX can be traced back over 100 years, to when our forefathers partnered with the preeminent American architect in their relentless efforts to create and curate the finest tile in the world — the tile that would be used to build the Imperial Hotel. By determining the properties of clay and the impact of fire, through numerous trials, they succeeded in the large-scale production of the decorative tiles that were both unique and proprietary to Japan’s most grand hotel. This is the foundation of INAX.

INAX DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

Our brand philosophy embraces the traditional Japanese harmonies of form, line, color and the celebration of light and shadow. Our visual consonance and thoughtful combinations of textures, materials, colors and glazes inspire environments that provide a deeper level of relaxation, emotional balance and vitality.

The Japanese have traditionally sought beauty by embracing natural light and delighting in its seasonal changes within architectural surroundings. From the sunlight and the dim glow of the moon emerge myriad shades of colors, creating spaces of unparalleled beauty through the rhythmic interplay of light and shadow.

In today’s frenetic, content-rich world, we rely on surroundings that allow for careful thought and self-reflection more than ever. INAX transforms functional environments into beautiful domains that refresh and restore us in body and mind.

Our surroundings have the ability to lift our spirits. Sunlight falling on uniquely inspired tile patterns and surfaces creates a delicate illumination that artfully follows the passage of time. The beautiful pale light of shadow generated by combining natural light and illumination results in a calming atmosphere created by uniquely inspired surfaces. This peaceful, serene environment fosters tranquil relaxation as day dissolves into evening, allowing much needed respite while nurturing our vitality to embrace the next day.
