Mosaic tiles are an evergreen in interior design, a classic expedient for enhancing settings in the bathroom and the spa.
Mosaic, from the Medieval Latin “musaicus” which we often find in the phrase “musaicum opus”, a mosaic work, derives from “musaeus” that is, Muse, she who inspires and protects the arts.
The divine aura surrounding the etymon could explain the timeless nature of mosaic tiles, their quality of still being contemporary after centuries, still desired and sought after by the more eclectic and innovative designers, especially for furnishing locations associated with leisure, wellbeing and relaxation.
The ancient technique has crossed epochs and continents, challenging tastes, styles, techniques and figurative languages, from Mesopotamia to the Spain of Antoni Gaudí, reaching artistic heights also in Italy in the Roman and Byzantine era.
