[New Product Coverage from KBIS 2008]
The antique Roman influence is readily evident in the new Sonja Tile Mosaic Collection, as is its nod to more modern tastes. The updated color palette tends toward graphic boldness, with blacks, grays and creams accented by deep reds and yellows. The individual tiles in the mosaics are hand-cut marble and limestone – some are even sourced from ancient Roman quarries – and are painstakingly assembled by master craftsmen of Tunisia where the artistry and technique are kept alive today.
