Dating back to 1500 BC, mosaic art has captured the history of wars, religion and beauty all in the form of tiny bits of glass, stone or ceramic tile.  Some of the most gorgeous and telling art found in ancient dwellings and religious sites comes from mosaics on floors and walls. Today however, mosaic art tells a whole different story of luscious colors, extravagant materials and bold patterns. Use it everywhere from the kitchen to the bathroom, the foyer to the dining room, and use it with gusto!

Some of the most graphic and stunning designs today come from the likes of Sicis and Bisazza, whose artisans are spinning out novel patterns from plaids to florals, and are designed to turn your walls, floors or backsplashes into personalized works of art.
