New Ravenna Presents Mosaic Collection to Celebrate 30th Anniversary

Heritage was inspired by New Ravenna's three decades of artisan innovation, which have created an American legacy in the art of mosaic design. The essential design ethos from each decade was reinterpreted to create a collection that honors ancient mosaic techniques, while celebrating innovation in materials, and imaginative design. History, Texture, and Color comprise the categories, which reflect each decade.

 Cean Irminger, New Ravenna's creative director, says of Heritage, "To celebrate our 30th anniversary year, we created a mosaic collection that journeys through our three decades of design, innovation, and craftsmanship by reinterpreting our most popular patterns and textures and showcasing intriguing new materials.”

“The History patterns in our first decade reflect our very beginning, when we were inspired by the ancient mosaics of the roman African tradition. Texture informed our second decade when we innovated in the creation of tatami, cosmos, and Venetian honing techniques.”

Irminger concluded, “This was the decade we also incorporated metallic accents to add reflective shine and glamour. Color dominated our third decade as we expanded our palette options by adding brilliant jewel glass and glazed basalto. We pioneered ombré blends and discovered the joy of adding bold pops of color."

Heritage includes multiple finishes to create textures that reflect historical precedence. The materials in the collection have been honed, polished, pillowed, and tumbled. Mosaic techniques range from hand cutting and chopping to waterjet. www.newravenna.com
