Truman Jewell Glass Mosaic

8.9.12 | Exmore, VA | New Ravenna Mosaics introduces new parquet tile designed by Sara Baldwin in jewel glass and natural stone. The four patterns - Truman, Newman, Rubrik, and Marshall - are inspired by the 17th century parquetry wood floors, a technique originally created for Versailles.

In mosaic, each design has a linear structure, with the glass or stone cut on a water jet and assembled by hand at the New Ravenna studio in Exmore, VA. "I realized that parquet flooring in wood is a classic form that would lend itself beautifully to stone and glass," said Ms. Baldwin, founder and creative director of New Ravenna Mosaics. "Our materials have natural striations that are only enhanced by the process of reassembling the geometric pieces."
