Streamlined Product Development
Our custom product system is driven by precision, responsiveness, and a deep understanding of our clients' design intent. We streamline each phase of the process, ensuring that technical constraints, aesthetic goals, and project timelines are fully integrated.
Design-Driven Communication
We prioritize alignment with design intent by defining custom requirements early on and managing physical samples for approval.
Production Oversight
Starting with selecting the ideal production partner, we closely manage fabrication to ensure milestones are met and timelines stay on track.
Vetted Factory Partners
Our long-standing relationships with trusted producers ensure high-quality, consistent results for custom tile and stone.
Optimized for Scale
While DDS is eager to collaborate with designers and architects to deliver custom products, small-batch production isn’t always feasible. Our custom solutions are best suited for large-scale commercial projects, though we’re always open to exploring unique applications.
Tile & Stone Customization
Whether you're developing branded finishes, matching architectural details, or specifying nonstandard dimensions, our team brings technical expertise and production flexibility to support your creative vision.
Precise Color Matching
Match brand colors, Pantones, paint lines, and unique materials with accuracy – bringing your full palette to tile.
Specialized Formats & Finishes
If standard sizes or finishes fall short, we offer full flexibility to produce custom dimensions, patterns, and surface treatments.
Distinctive Stone
Our stone strategy balances artistry and efficiency – offering everything from intricate waterjet-cut mosaics to cost-effective alternatives to premium materials.
Murals & Decos
Transform architectural elements into immersive, durable murals – from large-scale branded graphics to finely detailed stone dot mosaics.
Integrated Furniture
From mosaic inlays and slab tabletops to sculptural benches and seating, our flexible toolkit empowers designers to create custom stone and tile furniture that unifies the design brief.
Project Highlights
The Standard London
This ambitious renovation of a landmark 1974 Brutalist structure presented an opportunity for DDS to collaborate with design studio Shawn Hausman, renowned for bold, immersive spaces. Hausman’s distinct creative vision inspired innovative custom tile solutions, resulting in the development of Santos Isola – one of DDS’s most distinctive collections to date.
11 Hoyt
Boasting 480 luxury residential units, we developed two custom color colorways of a transparent crackle wall tile tailored to Michaelis Boyd Studio’s vision. Challenged to balance artisanal character with cost-efficiency for a multi-unit development, DDS delivered a refined product that honored the original design.
Crown Club at Barclays Center
Celebrated for his theatrical interiors, Ken Fulk envisioned a richly layered dining experience at the Crown Club in Brooklyn’s Barclays Center. DDS collaborated closely with Fulk's team to realize a vibrant candy room clad in intricate, hand-clipped stone mosaics, as well as custom waterjet marble mosaics in the restrooms.
Westfield Century City
Anchoring a $1 billion transformation of this 1964 Los Angeles mall, DDS supplied limestone from Africa, China, and Portugal, along with custom stone stools and over 40 vibrant encaustic tiles in custom patterns and colors. Collaborating with the design team, we delivered distinctive surfaces for a radial fountain centerpiece and public seating, enhancing the mall’s communal atmosphere.
Graduate Hotel - New Haven
Building on previous collaborations with Graduate Hotels, DDS produced 32 unique tile designs inspired by a classic azulejo motif. We refined line detail and saturation across multiple color ranges, partnering with the right manufacturer to meet budget, scale, and customization requirements.
