Discover the most breath-taking BMW MINI Coopers in the world, dressed in thousands of Bisazza glass mosaic tiles. Over 31,700 tiles on a convertible and 37,004 tiles dress a coupe, to be exact. Bisazza craftsmen, headed by Carlo Dal Bianco and Marco Braga, encrusted each BMW MINI with one-half inch by one-half inch glass tiles to transform the vehicles into “artomotive” masterpieces.

The custom MINIs, designed by Oxford and Bisazza, leader in the production, design and application of mosaic tile, express the bond between automobiles and design, created to seduce and satisfy both masculine and feminine sensibilities.

The “dresses” featured on the cars are made from exclusive patterns of the Bisazza Collection; the decors in mosaic are the Dama, Zebra, Tartan, and Summer Flowers design collections, chosen for their roots in fabric, clothing and furnishing design. A fifth car was later added to the collection in a new plaid, red and white pattern, called Pied De Poule (hound’s tooth.)

The MINI Wears Bisazza campaign was first showcased in 2005 at the Milano Design Week. The custom cars have even toured, to be displayed in showrooms and design hot spots around the world.
