Who knew smalti was great for floors? We just finished creating a sleek, ribbon shaped mosaic floor inset for TB Penick's new Bay Area office. They're an innovative design/ build company that loves mosaics! Four vibrant red colors of smalti from DiMosiaco were used to play off red terrazzo floor accents in the office. We needed so much glass - over 70 lbs - it had to be shipped directly from Italy. TB Penick wanted large pieces of glass cut in random shapes so we started with whole pizzas (the whole slab of poured smalti glass) to create a fun, crazy paving pattern. It's a highlight right when you walk in - a bright red ribbon that leads straight to the conference room where all the construction planning magic happens.
