Sawing with stones (Left Tiziana and Corinna preparing a carpet-mosaic) MOSAIC CARPET: floor covering on support of resin and fiberglass mesh Mosaic carpeting is a new concept in the use of this art form. The flexible structure of the carpet allows for rolling up, thereby greatly facilitating transport. However, the most extraordinary aspect is that the piece becomes an object of design which has its own unique character, and like a carpet can be placed in any part of the house and later moved at any moment depending on the owner’s whims. When placed on an uneven surface, the carpet takes the shape of the underlying surface without being damaged in any way. The mosaic carpet, like a normal carpet, does not require any particular fixing or application, and therefore there is no damage to the floor or need for any special means of fixing it in place, unless one wants to place it permanently in a particular location. This art work is suited to either indoors or outdoors locations, and is not affected by external weather or temperature conditions. Contrary to normal carpets, this art work is produced from mosaics and therefore is made of marble, stone or glass paste. The carpets can be manufactured in different shapes depending on where they are to be placed, and they can picture any modern or antique subject. The art piece is protected by solvents and is guaranteed against any loss of mosaics. The protective covering also acts as a defense against stains, while the glues used to position the mosaics insure that the pieces are firmly imbedded in the underlying structure. The mosaic may be washed with normal cleaning products, and using cloths, brushes or vacuum cleaners. For best results, excessive blows or rubbing should be avoided, as should be direct strong heat in contact with the support. Description of the pictures of the carpets: Carpet 1: .
