Tile Magazine: The Artistry of Glass and Mosaics

Thank you to TILE magazine’s Arpi Nalbandian for the article, The artistry of glass and mosaics

The article features Pamir in quartz Jewel Glass and mirror.

Excerpt:

New Ravenna Mosaics uses jewel glass and marble in its “Pamir” collection to create elegant texture and sinuous movement in custom mosaics for floors and walls. The warmth of hand-crafted mosaics in palettes of Winter White are classic and contemporary interpretations of myth and landscape. Central Asian Ikat textiles, silk ribbons, ancient Greek nudes and florals inspired by the Silk Road Collection all captivate the imagination.

Gold Notes

Jamie Goldberg has a great blog, Gold Notes .  It handles all sorts of interesting “nuggets” from the world of residential design.

Jamie recently handed her post over to Paul Anater for his take on the trends in the tile world in 2012.

Among the other lovely tiles, Paul points to New Ravenna Mosaics Tamsin as an example of Artisanal Tile.

Full disclosure:  Paul has written for New Ravenna Mosaics through our blog and social media.

We hope you would agree that Tamsin is a mosaic that is the very definition of artisanal.

Double Vision | Powder Room

JANUARY 11TH, 2012

It’s time for another round of Double Vision – the series where my design partner, Reena Sotropa and I each present our own interior design vision for a specific room of the home. This time, we’ve both started with the same exquisite bathroom vanity console from Kallista.  The Vir Stil Console Table with Towel Bar designed by Laura Kirar is a handsome solid piece of marble cut with impeccable details offering simple luxurious elegance. It’s the perfect beginning to a powder room with some serious punch……………
