Ristorante Luce

Artaic’s custom designed mosaic panels are featured prominently at Ristorante Luce, a revitalized New York restaurant, combining traditional mosaic design with a contemporary application. Patrons are greeted in the entry foyer by two eight foot high vibrant floral mosaics, while two equally impressive panels bring a tangible energy to the interior space, with the unique backlit technology making them highly distinctive conversation pieces.

 

The mosaics display images of traditional floral still life, both in a traditional arrangement and in a more modern representation. Using 3/8” vitreous glass, Artaic used 60,500 tiles to produce the 85 square feet of mosaic imagery. A mixture of translucent and semi-opaque tiles allow for the LED backlight to create an exquisite variable intensity glow as the ambient light wanes.

 

The exclusive translucent grout from Star Quartz causes the grout lines to take on neighboring tile color, and practically vanish with backlighting.
