Cedar & Moss x Pratt + Larson

Ceramic artistry. Sculptural form. Pacific Northwest soul. Born of mutual admiration — and years of creative daydreaming — our collaboration with Cedar & Moss brings the depth and dimension of handcrafted tile into an entirely new context: light.

Portland-based lighting studio Cedar & Moss has a reputation for high-quality, handcrafted light fixtures that blend mid-century modern design with contemporary applications. Known for its minimalist forms, timeless sensibility, and reverence for craft, Cedar & Moss is a natural kindred spirit — not just in aesthetic, but in values. We’ve always admired their work, and it turned out the feeling was mutual.

As a Portland native, it means a lot to me working with local vendors. I have admired Pratt + Larson tile for as long as I can remember. I’ve used their tile in my own homes. So this collaboration truly felt like a hometown dream come true.”

Tile Dreams

While Cedar & Moss had developed other ceramic light designs over the years, this collaboration was their first opportunity to work with patterned surfaces, ram pressing, and more intricate glazing techniques.

 

Pratt + Larson is a kindred spirit.  They love what they do, are passionate makers, do not cut corners, and take good care of their team members. At Cedar & Moss, we share the same values and ethos.”

Michelle shared her vision — inspired by the monumental concrete fireplace at the Kah-Nee-Ta Hot Springs Resort. We then layered in additional inspiration from Pacific Northwest sculptors of the ’60s and ’70s, particularly the work of local wood carver Leroy Setziol.

Enriching Designs

Sconces

The result? Three sconces, each sculpted by hand and brought to life in our studio. Our own Belle Iskowitz and Anthony Asch each carved their own interpretation in clay, while a third design was pulled from our archives and reimagined for lighting.

We came up with nicknames for them. Anthony’s design became Asch, which took on an organic form with subtle botanical references. Belle’s became Izzy, which featured a rhythmic, linear texture that allows the glaze to pool and highlight its depth. And they pulled a design out of the archives from Michael Pratt. So we had three designs honoring the three artists, which was meaningful.”

The finished pieces — the Izzy, Asch, and Pratt sconces — showcase the hallmarks of our tile: sculptural form and complex glazes that shift with the light. When illuminated, each sconce casts soft shadows and highlights the hand-carved detail.

When the light hits that glaze pattern, how it pools and breaks on the ridges and the low spots… it just really shows off their craftsmanship. We were blown away how beautifully they turned out, and they’ve been very popular. In fact, we just took an order for 125 of them for a hotel project.”

Canopies

In addition to the sconces, we also developed three round ceramic backplate canopies, designed to pair with Cedar & Moss’s most popular lights.

Normally the metal arm of your light would connect to a canopy or backplate that’s also metal. These allow you to change the canopy from metal to ceramic, which is very unique. No one else that I know of in the lighting industry has that kind of upgrade.”

It’s a small but impactful touch — adding an element of tactile richness to any fixture. Available in a curated selection of Pratt + Larson glazes, the backplates make a statement on their own or work beautifully with corresponding P+L tile.

MORE INSPIRATION AHEAD

Collaborating with Michelle and the Cedar & Moss team was effortless from the start — a true meeting of the minds (and hands). With more ideas already percolating and a fresh batch of glazes in the works, we’re excited to continue creating together.
The collaboration was an absolute joy. Each of us brought a deep understanding of our craft, which made for a natural and rewarding process. At Cedar & Moss, we see collaborations as a way to bring together distinct skills and creative perspectives — resulting in unique projects that neither studio might pursue otherwise. At heart, we’re all just dedicated makers who love our crafts.”

Pratt + Larson Terms of Purchase

Ordering Tile Online

Ordering tile takes a bit more planning than your average online purchase. Here’s what to keep in mind:

  • Calculate your square footage and add at least 15% overage to ensure there is enough tile to successfully complete your installation. Be sure to double-check your quantities.
  • Order samples first before placing your full tile order to confirm color and finish in person.
  • Tile is sold by the box, not by the piece. Orders over three boxes ship on a pallet, so be sure your delivery location can receive a large freight shipment.
  • You’ll receive a confirmation email within two business days of placing your order. Please review it carefully and contact us immediately if anything looks off. Once confirmed, your order enters production — and changes or cancellations may no longer be possible.
  • We strongly recommend working with a professional installer who can accurately calculate quantities, handle material, and ensure a smooth install.

How to Calculate Quantities

  • To confirm that Brownstone is right for your project, start by reviewing the Usage Chart.
  • You or your installer should measure the total square footage of the areas to be tiled. To calculate, measure the length and width of each section, multiply to get the area, and add them all together. For irregular shapes, break them into smaller rectangles and calculate each separately.
  • Don’t forget overage! We recommend ordering at least 15% extra to account for cuts, waste, and future repairs.
  • Be sure to account for trim — Trim comes in 8” pieces. To calculate the number of pieces you need: Measure your edges and transitions by the linear foot, multiply by 12 (to get the total number of inches needed), then divide by 8.

Handmade Variation + Range

The beauty of handmade tile is that no two pieces are exactly alike — and that variation is what gives it depth and character. Subtle changes in color, shade, surface, and size should be expected (and celebrated!) since they make every installation one-of-a-kind.
To help you understand what kind of variation to expect, we use a simple scale from V1 to V4:

  • V1: Minimal Variation – Slight, subtle differences between pieces.
  • V2: Some Variation – A bit more range from light to dark, adding richness and dimension.
  • V3: Moderate Variation – Noticeable shifts in both color and contrast, even within a single order — making it especially important to avoid add-on orders.
  • V4: Substantial Variation – Exciting and full of character! These glazes are designed to have significant and sometimes dramatic differences — even within a single tile. Layout and planning are essential, and we recommend ordering samples in advance.

Variation levels represent the maximum expected range — actual orders may appear more consistent. Always reference current samples and talk to your salesperson if you’re going for a specific look.

Shipping + Return Policy

Shipping + Handling: Orders may ship via FedEx, or freight truck.

  • FedEx orders include a $10 per-box handling fee.
  • Palletized freight shipments include a $30 per-pallet handling fee.

If your shipment arrives damaged, please notify us within 48 hours of delivery. We’ll provide instructions to initiate a freight claim.

Returns: With prior approval, we accept returns of full, unopened boxes of tile within 30 days of delivery.

  • Returns are subject to a 25% restocking fee
  • Products must arrive in original, undamaged condition to receive credit.
  • Made-to-order tile is not eligible for return.
  • A Return Authorization must be issued before sending back any product.

Please contact CustomerService@prattandlarson.com to initiate a return.

Installation Information

  • Inspect First: Please inspect your order upon arrival. Lay out all tile before installation to see the full range of color and variation. Installation constitutes acceptance — no claims can be made after the tile is installed. If there’s any damage during shipping, freight claims must be initiated immediately by the receiver.
  • Safety Note: Wet cutting is required. Do not dry cut or create excessive dust — improper techniques may release harmful silica dust.
  • Variation: Handmade tile is known for its beautiful range in color, texture, and size. This variation is intentional and part of the finished look. Final orders may differ from samples.
  • Grout + Grout Block: Use sanded grout with a 1/8″–3/16″ joint. For textured glazes, apply a grout block (we recommend Old English Lemon Oil) to reduce hazing. Clean any excess oil with soap and water. Avoid letting grout dry on the surface. For high-contrast grout, test a small area first to see how it will affect the color.
