Where It's Made
Our two factories sit on opposite sides of the Bay: dinnerware in Sausalito, tile in San Francisco. We make every piece start to finish, so our philosophy and products are always connected.
Sausalito, CA
400 Gate Five Road Sausalito, CA 94965
Where it all began—every piece of our dinnerware is made here by a team of 40 craftspeople. Timeless, resourceful, human-scale, since 1959.
San Francisco, CA
2900 18th Street, San Francisco, CA 94110
Heath SF is where designing and making meet community: 60,000 square feet, built around our tile factory and shared with likeminded makers.

Our Purpose
We are a Purpose Trust–Owned business, which means we are accountable to our Purpose: To keep artisanal craft alive by creating products and experiences rooted in designing and making. The act of making and the choice to surround ourselves with things made well imbues our world with beauty, joy, and meaning.
We aim to be great—not big—by celebrating process, material, and the people and places behind the products we make. This reminds us that we’re human. And maintaining humanity means a great deal to us.
Then. Now. Always.
