P-Saico, the new collection of coverings designed by Marialaura Rossiello (Studio Irvine) for Mosaico+, introduces a new concept of mosaic: irregular, materical and three-dimensional.
In fact, tiles have an irregular surface, thus creating a three-dimensional material effect, while we generally envisage mosaic as installed in a uniform geometrical pattern:P-saico is a fresh concept of mosaic in which regularity is applied only to the rectangular shape of the tile, while the overall look of the installation is completely irregular, taking inspiration from the Opus Incertum technique.
P-Saico is a project based on the material and modularity concept of Sticks, and realized in porcelain stoneware; in addition, this material expands the traditional potential for using mosaic: not only wall coverings, P-Saico is suitable even for indoor and outdoor floor and pavings.
P-Saico consists of 1×3 cm stick fragments, pre-assempled and meshmounted (300×320 mm) in irregular patterns to create modular sizes that perfectly integrates in a continuous surface.
Finally, P-Saico has a random-effect pose with a variable fugue from 2mm to 6mm and each card has one uneven surface, thus creating a materical three-dimensional effect; it is available in the MIX variant (in which 3 different textures are mixed randomly).
For new surprising surfaces.
