Especially vibrant, shimmering colors are characteristic of the Smalto series mosaic. Using artisan techniques, the enamel granules are added to the glass where they color the tesserae with a particular flamed effect, making them unique and one-of-a-kind.

The Velours series is known for its lively, brilliant colors and elegant satin finish. Using artisan techniques, the enamel granules are added to the glass where they color the tesserae with a particular flamed effect, making them unique and one-of-a-kind.

The Le Gemme series is fashioned using artisan techniques and expert hand-craftsmanship that make each tessera unique, luxurious and one-of-a-kind. The individuality of this series derives from the special glass-coloring technique that includes the addition of aventurine and colored enamel granules. Aventurine is a type of glass obtained through artisan craftsmanship, a technique passed down by the Murano glass masters for centuries. Copper crystals mixed with brilliant metal oxides are found inside aventurine where they create a golden scintillating flamed effect in the mosaic tesserae.

The Gloss series is made up of glass tesserae that display iridescent surface reflections. They are produced and colored with oxides that, fusing completely with the glass, allow the creation of pure colors. The iridescence is achieved by spraying a chemical product on the incandescent glass tesserae that, reacting to the heat, produces this very sophisticated, elegant effect.

The Glow series is made up of glass tesserae that display a wavy surface with iridescent reflections. They are produced and colored with oxides that, fusing completely with the glass, allow the creation of pure colors. The wavy effect is obtained through the use of a special mold. The iridescence, instead, is achieved by spraying a chemical product on the incandescent glass tesserae that, reacting to the heat, produces this very sophisticated, elegant effect.

The Vetricolor series is known for its rich, vibrant hues achieved through the use of oxides that, fusing completely with the glass, allow the creation of pure colors. The addition of sand to the pâte de verre during the coloring phase of the Vetricolor series of glass tesserae produces a typical sand-blasted effect that lends greater three-dimensionality to the color.

The Canvas series features a unique textured dot-like pattern in the glass. This texture is obtained through the addition of high-melting point powders to color the glass which, unlike oxides, do not melt completely, lending the tesserae a distinctive interwoven effect reminiscent of a fabric weft.

Use of a special mold is key to producing the wavy effect in the Flow glass mosaic tesserae. The rich, vibrant hues are attained through the use of oxides that, fusing completely with the glass, allow the creation of pure colors. The addition of sand to the pâte de verre during the coloring phase produces a typical sand-blasted effect that lends greater three-dimensionality to the color.

The tesserae in the Oro Bis collection are fashioned with 24 kt gold foil (Oro Bis giallo) or a gold and silver alloy (Oro Bis bianco) inserted between two protective layers of glass. The presence of the precious metal and the artisan-crafted process make this collection extremely luxurious. Because the tesserae are beveled ‒ like those in all the other collections of the same shape ‒ the Oro Bis tesserae are compatible in shape and thickness with the Bisazza glass mosaic collections, allowing them to be used in blends, shadings and patterns.

The highly prized Opus Romano mosaic is made of through-body colored sintered glass enamel. It retains all of the qualitative and aesthetic features of glass mosaics but is much more durable, thus making it well-suited to use in floors, even in public places or high-traffic areas, both indoors and out.

Opus Romano Matt is a through-body colored sintered glass enamel mosaic that undergoes a treatment that imbues it with a satin finish that is also non-slip. It retains all of the qualitative and aesthetic features of glass mosaics but is much more durable, thus making it well-suited to use in floors, even in public places or high-traffic areas, both indoors and out. The Matt version of the Opus Romano is especially appropriate in settings where a non-slip surface is required, like the borders of swimming pools or in spas.

The crystals are made by Swarovski® with an exclusive Bisazza cut and range of colors. Seamlessly compatible with the 10x10 mm glass mosaic tesserae, they are used to embellish blends and patterns.
