bathroom.


The Mediterranea collection looks stunning in an upscale swimming pool setting. Playful

Glass3 in sea blue or lawn green enhances any shower or bath area.


Murano Smalto perks up walls, pools and showers with artfully done tiny pieces of mosaic

glass. Comprised of distinctive mosaics in the form of a “floor throw rug,” SICIS’s Rug

collection bears recognizable names such as Cezanne, Degas and Renoir. NeoGlass

shows flashes of inspiration as room dividers and floors. The Basic group is far from basic.

While the designs may look simply, they are eye-catching additions to any terrace,

entryway, living room or den.

poses. Lamp sculptures project a sense of humor with mannequin lamps topped off with

huge hats, or a tiptoe lamp of a colorful mosaic leg on tiptoe. Harkening back to the 1940s

and 1950s days of the “pin-up girl,” the Pin Up grouping of mosaics is sure to put a smile

on anyone’s face. Flagship stores (showrooms) were launched in fashionable capital cities

of the world: Milan, New York, Paris, Tokyo, Rome, Moscow, Dubai and New Delhi. Shop for

treasured SICIS mosaics in Chicago, Scottsdale, AZ, Ramsey, NJ and Savannah, GA.
