This handcrafted mosaic tile celebrates centuries-old traditions while embracing modern aesthetics—ideal for those seeking a unique, luxurious, and meaningful design element.

🎨 The Fusion of Tradition and Contemporary Design

Renowned Venetian designer Davide-Giulio Aquini infuses each design with deep respect for craftsmanship. His approach is rooted in material exploration and collaboration with local artisans—marble workers, potters, carpenters, and glassmakers—whose knowledge shapes every creative decision.

“It’s difficult to separate ‘me’ from ‘us’ because my work is the result of collective effort—this is the greatest value of my creations.” — Giulio Aquini

The Abalone Shell Tile is more than a decorative element; it is a dialogue between past and present, an artistic expression of legacy and innovation.

🏛️ Inspired by History: The "Dark Ages" Collection

Part of Aquini’s “Dark Ages” series, this tile draws inspiration from ancient materials like lapis specularis—a translucent gypsum once used as glass before the Middle Ages. In works like the “Dark Age” table, Aquini juxtaposes rough, historical textures with clean modern geometries, creating powerful visual and tactile contrast.

This same concept is carried through in our abalone shell tile: Gothic, luminous, textural, and strikingly modern.
