Mosaic is the ancient decorative art of composing a drawing, representing different pictures, geometrical patterns and detailed images, by assembling small tesserae or tiles in rock, marble, terracotta, stone or glass. Today’s technology already allows for tiles and stones to be used, not just as a “cover” but as the actual material used in building pieces of furniture. Just as the mosaic itself is a fusion of materials, the process of creating one is likewise a fusion of craftsmen’s and artists’ ideas for making functional furniture that is also an artistic expression of the owners.
