Tesselle Breeze Blocks Featured in Synkd Magazine
Karin Jeske
We had a great surprise this season. Tesselle’s Breeze Blocks popped up in the Fall 2025 issue of Synkd Magazine, and we could not wait to share it.
Synkd is one of our favorite landscape design magazines, and this article featured a photo of our Ellipse and Lozenge Breeze Blocks by Shag. The editors always manage to blend smart ideas, inspiring outdoor spaces, and a little bit of unexpected creativity. Their pages are filled with designers shaping backyards, courtyards, and landscapes in fresh ways, so seeing our blocks in the mix made our whole team smile.

Paired with black trim, warm sunlight, and bright seasonal flowers, this installation shows how a strong tile design can completely transform a façade.

Karin Jeske Breeze Blocks Mid Century Modern Homes
Marc and Sally recently refreshed their 1960 William Krisel home in Palm Springs, and wanted something that felt true to the original architecture while adding privacy and pattern. Our Ellipse Breeze Blocks by the artist Shag were the right fit. The screen creates a sculptural wall that filters light, keeps air moving and frames the entry in a way that feels both mid century and current.
