FLORENCE MOSAIC: ABOUT US

We are a team where young craftsmen supervised by skilful masters create unique works with “cold but lively” materials such as marbles and stones.

The most beautiful houses have always been decorated with precious marbles and stones. The masterpieces made by our expert masters making use of the polychromy of different materials are still worty of admiration today.
In our workshop, the use of different techniques joined with our craftmen’s passion and professionality allows us to create table tops, floors, coatings, pictures, interior design accessories reminding the well known artistic masterpieces of the past. Our mastery of scagliola techniques adds ductility and plasticity to our works thus rendering our pieces unique wherever they are shown all over the world.

Set in the florentine Oltrarno, the cradle of the artistic handicraft, our workshop wishes to hand down in its works that beautiful and unreapeatable artistic period known as Renaissance.

"Of all the ever-lasting things done with colours, nothing stands better the wind and water than mosaics. And in Florence, Lorenzo de' Medici the elder was very knowledgeable about mosaics. As a far-seeing lover of the antiques, he strived to revive what had been long forgotten"

G. Vasari - Florence 1511 – 1574
