DiamonD CatheDRal
Glass Mosaic
Brand: Mosaico+, a division of Mapei S.p.A Application: Wall covering | Size: 365x210x3 mm USP: Vitreous mosaic of stained-glass, obtained from voluminous slabs – 2-3 mm thick – made through a process of extrusion of glass and enamels. Diamond is a mosaic made of chips that are hand-cut with a diamond cut accessory and then mounted on glass fibre mesh to form sheets of 365x210 mm. The cutting process is handmade and produces sharp edges. Diamond can display a full colour or a veined effect. The design of the mosaic is accentuated by veins of colours which are not repetitive thereby giving every square inch of the surface a distinct pattern. The Diamond mosaic is produced in bright, luminous, artistic cathedral glass, thinner than sanded glass. This artistic glass can be coloured with full tone and plain hues or can have a shaded and veined appearance. The unusual design allows the use of grouts in tone-on-tone shades for a refined effect, or in contrasting colours for a more eccentric, trendy composition. The grout creates a pattern that moves through the sheets of glass and guides the eye over algorithmic shapes.

A Moving body of WATER
Product: Be Water lamp | brand: WaW collection | design: Fernando correa Awards: German design award 2021 | Product design: lighting category, and the red dot award


USP: BE WATER Lamp reproduces a hypnotic effect in perpetual flow, emulating sunlight which, reflecting on the moving surface of the water, projects optical games and dances of light on walls, keels of ships or under bridges. The lamp consists of a motor block unit, from one to five anodized aluminium base modules with the light source, and its correspondent borosilicate glass cylinders with an irregular surface. To create the desired effect, it is necessary to insert the lamp inside a luminous groove grazing up the wall or behind a piece of furniture, leaving only the moving light visible. Available with three other filters, i.e., WATER, FIRE, AIR, and EARTH that can be applied directly to the light source, allow you to transform the original effect of BE WATER Lamp and obtain an atmosphere with everchanging emotional characteristics.
