i=change

One of our goals at National Tiles is to be a brand with purpose. That’s why we’re extremely proud to partner with i=Change and donate from every online sale. i=Change is a platform that enables us to turn every purchase into positive impact, and empower women and girls with 100% transparency. This means every time you buy from us, together we make a difference in someone’s life.

So far, we’ve donated over $50k to charities including the

Starlight Foundation to bring joy to sick kids, The Australian

Childhood Foundation to support the recovery of children who have experienced trauma and Women’s Community

Shelters to support survivors of domestic violence. “

In recognition of International Women’s Day we participated in i=Change’s shop for change campaign with the goal of raising 100k.

“

In conjunction with other participating brands, and over three days, we increased our giving from $1 to $3 to triple our impact and help bring positive change to even more people’s lives. With the turbulent times of the recent years, it is vital right now to support those in need. National Tiles want to extend a massive thanks to all the brands involved along with those shoppers whose choice = change. E O C

an evening to remember

March 2nd 2022

dine & design

ur inaugural National Tiles ‘Dine & Design’ event lived up to its promise of being a night to remember. Held on a wild and rainy night in early March, the event fi nally came to fruition after a series of covid-lockdown delays. Created to offi cially launch the stunning Alexandria showroom to leading architects, designers and builders, those who attended were delighted to celebrate all that National Tiles offers in terms of product, service and design expertise. The National Tiles colours of orange, black and white came to life in a bespoke painting by artist Michael Bond created specially for the event. This stunning artwork set the scene for the invitations, table settings and showroom decoration, the centrepiece being one long dining table that seated 60 guests, sponsors and team members. The table display featured a spectacular array of fl owers and candles, with vases and candlesticks provided by the styling experts at Fenton & Fenton. The offi cial proceedings of the evening began with the Design Forum panel discussion. Inside Out magazine’s deputy editor Kate Hassett hosted a fascinating conversation about designing with colour. The panel guests were Kate Walker of KWD, Lucy Fenton of Fenton & Fenton and Davide Mucci – our special guest from BBC Italy. Our guests were entertained with stories about what colour means to our panel members, with tips, tricks and ideas on how to incorporate colour into a home.

A bespoke menu was created by Chef Nelly Robinson of Nel’s Restaurant in Sydney’s CBD. A culinary wizard, Nel’s menu delighted the guests throughout the night from the canapes to the main course and divine dessert. The wine list was also a special treat for the guests, with Penfolds wines served throughout the night, the highlight of which was a Grange 2017 tasting hosted by Michael Riitano who entertained and informed the table about this history of the company and the wine.

The night fl owed on fi lled with conversation and exploration of the showroom, all to the sounds of DJ Niki De Saint. Guests left having enjoyed beautiful wines and delicious fare, and took with them a goodie bag that included a National Tiles water bottle, hand cream from our friends at Leif (who also provided their beautiful product in our washrooms) and an Inside Out magazine. Thank you to all of our esteemed guests, sponsors and panel guests who attended, including Frank and Rhonda Walker. A special thank you to our event producer Alana Edwards and your amazing team, for helping to create an incredible night that was enjoyed by all. And to the National Tiles marketing team and the Alexandria retail, trade and warehouse teams who helped to bring this very special event to life.
