6x8 Windswept Cypress

Description Graceful, resilient, and deeply evocative—Windswept Cypress captures the spirit of the California coast in Yoshiko Yamamoto’s masterful woodblock style. Inspired by the iconic Monterey cypress trees shaped by ocean breezes, this tile embodies both strength and serenity in Motawi’s signature raised-line technique, bringing the majestic beauty of nature to indoor spaces.  Motawi tiles are striking art pieces and installation accents. Each tile is created by hand and with heart in Ann Arbor, Michigan. We embrace variation and handmade beauty: Our time-honored methods produce a nuanced range of color with depth and translucence.  Actual Tile Size: Approximately 5 7/8” x 7 7/8”.
