Mosaic Tile Off the Beaten Path

Unique places featuring BISAZZA glass mosaic tile

Dornbracht Ritual Bad, Dusseldorf, Sieger Design

Dornbracht Ritual Bad in Dusseldorf, Germany is a temporary Bisazza flagship store, which expresses the high versatility and elevated artistic value of mosaic.  The store is an original project with significant amounts of the Damasco Bianco and Damasco Opale patterns and Nefertiti blends, especially notable for the large wall mosaic murals depicting imposing human forms making a strong impression because they resemble dissected bodies.  A unique concept where art, design and architecture come together to create a very high-end project.

Hotel Una Vittoria, Firenze, design Fabio Novembre

Designed by Fabio Novembre and located in the historic center of Florence, Italy the Hotel UNA VITTORIA is a perfect example of an original project of contemporary design.  As soon as one enters the lobby Bisazza’s Summer Flowers pattern catches the eye and makes a dramatic impact, not only for the total area of the walls and floor covered by the pattern, but for the way the space has been decorated.  The main character is in fact the mosaic, which was installed to create arches from sinuous shapes, capable of generating movement and continuity.

Spa Guerlain, Parigi, design Andrée Putman

In such a refined space, it was an ideal choice to use the yellow gold mosaic in some of the rooms of the Maison Guerlain.  Climbing the stairs, one has the impression of entering a jewelry box, completely lined and illuminated by gold mosaic, which invite the customer to seek maximum well-being.

New Museum, New York design Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa SAANA

The authors of the New Museum in New York are Japanese architects Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa of studio SAANA, who selected the delicate chromatic tonalities of the floral patterns Hanami Arancio and Hanami Azzurro for the restrooms.

MINI lounge, Madrid, design MINI

Bisazza’s first collaboration with MINI/BMW dates back to 2005.  The co-marketing project “MINI wears BISAZZA” resulted in five MINIs, each completely “dressed” in a pattern from the Mosaic Collection.  The success of this venture, which proved to be perfectly executed, and the similar identities of the two brands led to their joint participation in the creation of the MINI LOUNGE café’ in Madrid, Spain.  Inside the space, three animal prints in Opus Romano, Zebra, Leopard and Giraffa, prove a perfect solution for making the restrooms particularly glamorous and trendy, like the bar clad in the black and white Dama, thus expressing the values that characterize the world of MINI.
