The Famosa showroom is an art gallery where the canvas and paint are incredible tile and stone materials. Those materials range from beautiful stones provided by Mother Earth, to recycled tiles that have come from man’s ingenuity. We have used those materials to create real environments where you can touch, feel and see how they could be used in your home. If you haven’t seen a fully functioning bathtub hand carved from a stone boulder, then we have a surprise for you! Our passion is tile/stone, our passion is people….let’s create the extraordinary.

**★★★★★ — Pacifica Wholesale Tile & Stone, April 2017**

> Famosa is a place that goes above-and-beyond to make sure you are greatly satisfied with your purchase. They have very unique tiles and are expanding to also offer slabs. We have had a working relationship and friendship with Josiah for many years and even though we do similar work, we help each other and refer people to each other all the time. They have excellent customer service and truly care about each individual project. They go to great lengths to make sure it is exactly what the customer had in mind. Looking for exceptional products and outstanding service? Go to Famosa!

**★★★★★ — Jess Jones Design Group, Jan. 2017**

All my client have loved everything designed from Famosa and look forward to sourcing out more materials for years to come.

**★★★★★ — lorig8138, May 2016**

> Vanessa and Josiah were efficient, communicative and were able to see my my project from start to finish.  Their satisfaction is guaranteed.

**★★★★★ — charmon17, May 2016**

> Famosa is incomparable on every level. From the designers to the installation of the product, they are best in class. We were very particular in our taste in our home in Laguna Beach renovation and there was no selection of materials that even touched Famosa. Their finishes really "made" our home the showcase we feel that it is. Thank you for being the one vendor in our renovation that never disappointed us. We are eternally grateful.

**★★★★★ — Kelly Ferm Inc., May 2016**

> I am always so pleased when I work with Josiah and Vanessa at Famosa.
> Their hip product access, amazing showroom, product knowledge and incredible fabricators make it a NO brainer for me to call them on every project. I have been working with Famosa sense their doors opened and have some amazing completed projects thanks to their amazing resources. From custom carved fireplaces, handpainted tiles, amazing stones, to cut marble ... I never fall short of product, service, and simply AMAZINGNESS when I work with the Famosa team. ~ Kelly Ferm

**★★★★★ — Ian Cush, May 2014**

> The best show room in Orange County hands down. Their knowledge and professionalism is second to none. With the exciting grand opening of the NEW Famosa show room I am sure they will continue to push the limit of progressive and tasteful flooring and counter-top tile and stone solutions.
