Mosaic takes on a three-dimensional quality with the SICIS Structura collection.
November 13th, 2013
The Sicis Structura collection of mosaic tesserae is not your regular mosaic. The tesserae are made from a series of glass mosaic panels with shiny square tesserae in different sizes, thickness and textures. Because of this unique combination, the tesserae create an intriguing three-dimensional effect that is starkly different from other mosaic walls.
The Structura collection capitalises on its ton sur ton, or contrast shades, to showcase an effect that seems casual at first. A closer look however, reveals a three-dimensionality that imitates material movement often described as a ‘flowing’ waterfall.
The Structura collection gathers a vast palette by Sicis Colours, mixing balance and contrast while playing with light, transparency and iridescence. The dimensions of the panels can also be customised accordingly to different needs.
