How laNeva Tile Came to Life:
Interior Designer Lisa La Nasa worked with tile on a daily basis. It was a labor of love, with tile being a favorite part in the selection process. After hundreds of custom tile designs and installations over 15 years in the industry and a deep love for the warmth and character of handmade tile, the ideas of what a tile line should look like came to life through laNeva Artisan Tile.
Our tile design and selection know-how came together with years of production expertise to create a handmade tile company that delivers a unique, contemporary look.

Our Name:
The name laNeva came about quite by accident. After a long-time dislike of conglomerate company names (as in Mom name + Pop name = company name), I wanted to pay tribute to my eldest daughter by using a portion of her name. Geneva was going to be nicknamed Eva or Evie and as she was just an infant at the time, neither had “stuck” yet. Well, you can guess which one did. Our daughter Neva now thinks it is hilarious that there is a company named after her.
