Are your stones natural?

We use over 120 different types of natural marble, granite, quartz, and other premium stones that we carefully source from around the world. These beautiful stones are the foundation of every unique mosaic piece we create. We also specialize in creating breathtaking mosaic murals using beautiful Italian smalti and glass tiles.

Are your mosaic artworks handcrafted?

Each of our mosaic artworks is meticulously hand-cut and hand-set by some of the best mosaicists in the world. The tiles, measuring 1/4” inch (6 mm) in depth and approximately 1/3” inch (8.5 mm) in width, are carefully placed to create stunning works of art.

Depending on the complexity of the design, a dedicated team of 4 to 10 talented artists and craftsmen collaborate to bring each mosaic to life, ensuring the highest level of craftsmanship and attention to detail in every mosaic piece.

Will my mosaic artwork look exactly like the displayed design on your site?

The mosaic artworks shown on our website do not represent ready-for-sale goods as all our mosaics are crafted on order. All motifs that have been produced individually by hand can slightly deviate from the sample images in their color and application within the context of the artistic design. In particular, it is not possible to guarantee an exact color match between the photograph and the material that has actually been used due to the fluctuations of colors and texture of the natural marble, and that will make your mosaic truly one of a kind.

Is it possible to request specific colors?

Your mosaic design can be customized by size, shape, design, and color. Feel free to reach out to your dedicated project manager and discuss the color palette that would best work for your project.

If you’re just starting your project or need inspiration, reach out to us at [email protected], and together, we’ll create a truly unique mosaic masterpiece that perfectly fits your space and interiors.

Can I request a specific size?

All sizes can be modified to fit your exact placement; however some designs cannot be made smaller due to design constraints, but all mosaic designs can be made in a larger size, or even custom-tailored shapes such as circular forms or any form to fit your vision.

Feel free to contact us at [email protected]. We’d be glad to review your project requirements in detail and help make your vision a reality.

Can I order a custom design?

It is possible to customize any mosaic design. We can also create fascinating mosaic artworks based on actual photographs or paintings of people, landscapes, or any other scenery. You are welcome to send all design requests to [email protected].

Alternatively, head to the Customize section of the website for inspiration or create your own masterpiece by uploading your design to Create Your Own page. Following the receipt of your request, we will get in touch with you to discuss the next steps.

During the art creation process, a dedicated project manager will collaborate closely with you, ensuring your complete satisfaction with your new masterpiece before it's shipped to you. This includes providing progress pictures at various production stages for your approval, change requests, etc…

What finish options do you offer?

We offer three different finishes: Natural, Tumbled, and Polished.


  • Natural: Authentic marble tiles are used without any treatment. The beautiful natural finish is a perfect choice to create a stunning backsplash or accent centerpiece that would make you proud.

  • Tumbled: Tumbling is a technique that involves distressing the edges and the surface of the stone by vibrating it in a bath of sand and grit. The result is a fascinating antique finish that looks aged and worn.

  • Polished: Polishing the mosaic gives your masterpiece a glossy and smooth finish that brings out all the subtleties and beauty of the natural stone. The result is a centerpiece with rich, vibrant, and lively colors.
  • Who will craft my mosaic?

    We have on board some of the best international and local mosaic artists in the world. Our incredibly talented artists have learned the ancient Roman craft of mosaic making from their ancestors.
    Masters of these techniques, they can translate existing images into stunning mosaic artworks, or design entirely new masterpieces that will transform your space.

    Damage during shipping is extremely rare. However, if a few stones come loose during shipment, don’t worry, we include extra replacement tiles with every order. These can be easily reattached with any water-based glue.

    We’ve made it very easy for you to install your mosaic piece. Please head over to our Installation Guide for a complete demonstration. Although installing a mosaic project doesn't necessarily require a professional, we recommend one for larger mosaic installations.

    Where can mosaic projects be installed?

    Mosaic tiles are incredibly versatile and can be installed on walls, floors, indoors, outdoors, in swimming pools, on tabletops, as ceiling inlays, mirror borders, kitchen and bathroom backsplashes, or any other space that brings your vision to life. Check out our latest Lookbook for inspiration.

    Can I install mosaic tiles in wet or moist spaces such as swimming pools, bathrooms, or outdoor?

    All our mosaic artworks are made from natural marble and stones, naturally resistant to different environments (dry, moist, or wet) and weather conditions such as frost, sunlight, extreme heat, etc…and are also chemical resistant should you wish to install them in your swimming pool. Your beautiful mosaic artwork will literally last for tens of years.

    What kind of grout should I use?

    Once your mosaic piece is installed, grouting will increase its strength and provide water and dust resistance. You can choose from various grout options, including cement or epoxy. For most mosaic projects, we recommend unsanded cement grout, while epoxy grout is ideal for wet areas. This ensures a durable and long-lasting finish for your artwork.
