The creation of the “Black Pool Tatami” mosaic
The creation of the “Black Pool Tatami” mosaic
Transforming a pool into a work of art requires vision, precision, and deep artisanal expertise. This project showcases the journey inside the workshop behind the creation of a unique surface: the Black Pool Tatami mosaic from the prestigious New Ravenna collection.
From paper to water, here are the key stages that bring this design masterpiece to life.
1.
The project print: the design takes shape
Every great work begins with a precise blueprint. The first step is the development and full-scale printing of the design.
2.
Material selection
For this project, the glass tiles were carefully selected, seeking the perfect chromatic balance to enhance the effect of the water.
3.
Waterjet cutting: millimetric geometric precision
Once the glass tiles have been selected, the process moves on to the technological manufacturing phase: waterjet cutting. This high-precision machinery allows the glass to be cut into perfectly shaped strips.
4.
Mosaic preparation
With the glass strips ready, the mosaic finally comes to life on the workbench. At this stage, the composition is assembled by carefully following the design that was previously printed.
5.
Cutting the modules and preparing for shipment
Once the composition on the workbench is complete, the mosaic is carefully cut into smaller, numbered geometric modules.
