The results of concentrated efforts in the development of new chip shapes and sizes has resulted in the Mosaico+ installation at Cersaie 2019. The company’s aim has always been to transform the concept of the mosaic itself to take it from a mere decorative feature to that of a working tool in the hands of talented architects and interior designers.
On display at the show will be the company’s Jointed collection – a series that reaches beyond the traditional concept of decoration, and beyond the level of the chip or rigid, geometrically defined space, to highlight the architectural and spatial features of the location where it is used.
Four new collections, all with different sizes, shapes and materials developed by Mosaico+ Art Director Massimo Nadalini and the work of designers Marialaura Rossiello for Studio Irvine and Kensaku Oshiro, will be showcased at the fair.
New features include the ability to use the mosaics on the floor as well as on a variety of surfaces as the new materials are durable enough to withstand foot traffic.
Jointed by Mosaico+ offers infinite combinations with a variety of graphic signs and paths that render each design unique. Jointed is the company’s response to requests from industry for more than typical mosaic decorations that allow design professionals to explore new pathways and respond to requests for customisation.
The Jointed collection supersedes the modularity of the mosaic chip and its repetition across the surface through the ability to break down each element in five separate ways. Each 5cm x 5cm chip is engraved with a graphic motif that provides the basis for five different types of decoration. The random composition of each of the subdivided chips assures an extremely high level of customisation and transforms the simple surface into a complex array, varying depending on the way the sheets are installed, which may be repetitive or in a random layout.
Customisation also continues with the option of colouring the cathedral glass in solid shades or giving it a veined surface. Last but not least, users can opt for a tone-on-tone grout or a contrasting one, to enhance the material’s vibrancy and create a more eye-catching composition. The Jointed collection is available in seven colours: Biancopuro, Bianco Marmo, Neropuro (featured), Tortora, Grigio Caldo, Fango and Blu Notte.
