General Shale’s Design-Centric Brick
For generations, clay brick has been synonymous with durability and tradition. But with modern masonry options, General Shale – based in Johnson City, Tenn. – is advancing brick as a modern art form with a curated lineup of inspired sizes, textures and colors that fall in line with today’s evolving architecture and design needs. The product lineup includes six different styles that work inside, and out. These new options, along with more than 250 existing colors, textures and shapes, allow designers to focus on selecting the style of brick that brings their vision to life. “Our latest designs evoke a sense of proven styles that have stood the test of time with subtle updates that appeal to today’s most discerning homeowners,” said Luke Guinn, director of marketing for General Shale. “Builders, architects, designers and homeowners have always appreciated the durability of brick which allows for greater efficiency and sustainability, yet still adds a very contemporary element to meet today’s design standards.”

Inspired by timeless modernist principles and defined by long, continuous curves and softened edges, the six-piece collection blurs the line between indoor refinement and outdoor living, with French-seamed cushions and marine-grade durability. “When I consider design, I always start with the same questions: Does it have substance, and does it feel iconic?” Sieberts says. “My goal is to create something that embodies the ultimate luxury experience and makes a statement about who we are as a company.”
