Eso Surfaces is a family-run company based in Southern California. Our passion for mid-century architecture and design inspired us to become the building materials manufacturer and supplier that we are today. The name, Eso, comes from the Greek prefix meaning "within." As terrazzo is poured, its true beauty is not visible without many laborious hours. As the terrazzo is polished, it brings out the beauty within. Our customers' shared passion for design drives us to continually innovate. We look forward to helping you accomplish your design and construction goals by providing you with the highest quality materials and finishes matched with extraordinary customer service.

Amazing Architecture features Eso Surfaces new Frank Lloyd Wright inspired collection—here are a few words from the article:
The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation has partnered with Southern California building materials company Eso Surfaces to create iconic textile blocks and 3D cement tiles from the Frank Lloyd Wright archive.
Among the initial offerings is the Ennis House 3D Cement Tile. The Ennis House is a worldwide architectural landmark.
Another standout from the initial launch is the Ablin Textile Block. A uniquely shaped concrete block that can be made into walls allowing light and breeze to flow freely. This marks the first time a design from the Ablin House in Bakersfield, CA has been licensed for development as a consumer product.
Also available is the Storer House Textile Block. At the time of completion, the Storer House was compared to a Pompeiian villa and is now widely considered the best-preserved Wright building in Los Angeles.
The Millard Textile Blocks were created using the sand, gravel and minerals found on the property itself. Wright was particularly impressed with this home and said of it: “I would rather have built this little house than St. Peter’s in Rome.” Eso Surfaces’ Millard 3D Cement Tile captures the symmetry and definition of ionic textile block.
In the first part of the 20th Century, Wright worked with molded concrete tiles and blocks to create structurally innovative buildings. Using patterned molds allowed Wright to incorporate forms and patterns that gave rich life to a humble material.

]]>In the early 1920s, Frank Lloyd Wright employed patterned moulds to create unique concrete blocks and tiles to create structurally innovative buildings and remarkably modern architecture. These incorporated forms and geometric patterns lent richness and character to an otherwise flat looking material, giving a distinct Wright touch to the influential landscape of American architecture.
“Eso’s stunning interpretations of Wright’s work are executed to the highest quality standards so designers, architects, and homeowners can be inspired to bring this rich legacy into homes, offices, and landscapes,”
-Stuart Graff, CEO, Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation.
