Synopsis

The objective of this project was to make novel highlighter ranges in mosaic tiles using both glass and porcelain for the Indian consumer market, with a view to escalate the growth of the company and create new dimensions in the competitive market.

Exploring a range of possibilities by combining techniques, in-house materials, colours and textures to create new surfaces, constituted a major part of the project work. Drawing inspiration from Indo-Islamic architecture, tessellations were made using different shapes and forms of mosaic tiles. Innovative ways of artwork for interior and exterior spaces were developed using the cut-glass mosaic technique.
