The technique of mosaic creating consists in inlaying small bits of stone or other material to make a specific design

The material for mosaic making depends on author's imagination; the most popular materials are:

• stone (marble, granite, limestone, sandstone,)
• wather worn pebbles
• precious and semi-precious stones
• ceramic (glazed or not, broken dishes)
• glass (vitreous glass, smalti)
• plastic

The characteristics - Because of the materials (stones and ceramics), mosaics are highly resistant to strike, dirt, temperature's fluctuation, etc., which is confirmed by the ancient mosaic, preserved until today in its ogiginal form. Owing to many materials with full range of colours, a mosaic can be as colourful as a painting.

Application - Nowadays, a mosaic can be applied in such places as: homes, gardens, pools, public buildings (churches, offices, restaurants) by such interior decor as:

• toptables for home and garden
• mirror frames
• stone "paintings" to hang on the walls
• floors and walls of bathrooms, kitchens, halls, terraces, patios etc.
• emblems, trademarks
• sculptures

By the unique design and the fact that mosaic is hand-crafted it fully satisfies the desire to have something sophisticated. Traditional designs look presentable especially in gardens and old-fashioned, stylish interiors as a tasteful element of decor. Additionally abstract, deco forms are stylic effect applied in modern, austere arrangements of homes and public places. Certainly you can find the designs you are looking for at our website.
