MOSAICS
Stone Mosaics - Overview
The history of mosaic art dates back to ancient Rome where splendid patterns and depictions graced the floors, walls and ceilings of palaces and villas. Patrician homes were decorated throughout with these masterpieces of ancient times. Francois & Co. brings this ancient art to modern day, introducing cutting edge and creative designs while preserving traditional techniques and materials.
CONTEMPORARY MOSAIC DESIGNS
Modern, innovative, and versatile designs and color combinations for the 21st Century, the Living collection offers stone mosaics patterns and concept panels in contemporary style, while respecting authenticity and tradition through our handcrafted mosaic technique.
BATHROOM MOSAIC TILES
Embracing the decorative patterns of the XVII century, we created a captivating design- The Leonardo. This authentically hand crafted stone mosaic decorates surfaces in a sumptuous pattern. The Leonardo is shown here in white and grey marbles, and can be custom sized and colored to your specifications.
MOSAIC BACKSPLASH
Characterized by exceptional design and craftsmanship quality, our stone mosaic backsplashes can either be custom sized to fit in the space above your kitchen range hood creating a dramatic focal point, or designed to cover all your backsplash area with hand-cut tiles.
CLASSIC MOSAIC DESIGNS
Stone mosaic fields were quite popular in antiquity, with simple patterns often used to decorate large surfaces. These patterns have endured through time to become an important element of classical architecture. Francois & Co. crafts its stretch fields and borders in one single piece based on a provided template and custom specifications.
MOSAIC PATTERNS
Shown here, the Francois & Co. Sousse Mosaic features a pattern originally crafted in the 3rd century AD in Timgad, Algeria. It is an excellent example of the distinctive floral style of Timgad, in which shapes outlined by split acanthus fronds are filled in with various colors. Francois & Co. transformed this mosaic into a pattern that is as rich as it is flexible, presenting unlimited opportunities to create a unique surface.

CRAFTSMANSHIP
Each stone mosaic by Francois and Co is a oneof-a-kind creation. The texture and look of natural stone, with each tesserae individually and meticulously hand cut by our artisans, is inimitable.
Each mosaic is a unique work of art, with its own personality and "imperfections".
