The surfaces inside the bed and breakfast inn intend to “mirror the glow of an incandescent furnace fire, the luminous pigments of the used crucibles and the charm of the romantic garden.” The original terrazzo floor and neo-classical furnishings are juxtaposed with literary and evocative mosaic-designed headboards and nightstands.“It has been a great emotion to create the bathrooms in their different characteristics, using wood and gold and other materials, melting them with mosaic tiles,” said Lucio Orsoni. One bathroom inside the bed and breakfast establishment features white and 24k gold mosaic tiles. Furthermore, the shower was designed with waves of smalti and 24k gold mosaics intended to recall the Adriatic Sea, which feeds the Venetian Lagoon.
For another bathroom, Orsoni created a window to the outside world, where he placed a woman in mosaic ensconced against a field of black mosaic tile. “She is caught in a particular moment of freedom,” said Orsoni, adding that for this element, the designer used 24k gold turquoise mosaic glass against opaque glass to create a three-dimensional effect.
