The team at Cesario & Co has gathered our top 15 Artistic Tile mosaic picks for 2021. Although their collection of mosaic tiles goes far beyond what is listed below, these are just some of the many unique designs to explore.
1. Fan Club
The Fan Club tile series is absolutely breathtaking. Fan Club takes a pattern from antiquity and recreates it from dazzling Jazz Glass, adding an artistic glass mosaic flair to a familiar motif. Fan Club is offered in three stunning colourways: solid ice white, blue ombre with brushed brass, cream ombre with brushed brass and white ombre with stainless steel. The patterns and details are very special and impressively designed. It is tasteful, timeless and like no other.
Photographed above is our personal favourite colourway: blue ombre with brushed brass. Below is the beautiful cream ombre with solid glass metal inlay in a mixed finish. All of these designs are available at Cesario & Co.
2. Orchid Dimensional
This award-winning tile is captivating with its bold orchid design that truly stands out in any space. The Orchid Dimensional Tile was created in collaboration with homeware and jewellery designer, Michael Aram. This design is inspired by his original Orchid Collection. The realistic carved flowers festoon on a smooth background of polished white or black marble. The groundbreaking design uses a variety of techniques to design an intricate and elegant mosaic tile.
The Orchid Dimensional Tile is available in two colourways: Bianco Carrara Marble which is designed with a white marble, or the Nero Marble which is designed with a black marble.
3. Doge Fete
This mosaic tile has an interesting story behind its creation. The Doge Fete Tile is named after the Doge Palace, the fabulous home of the Dukes of Venice who ruled the republic during the height of its power. The Doge Fete Mosaic draws from the Cosmati style of opus sectile, also known as “cut work,” which originated in Rome before the Renaissance. Doge is made with exquisite marble which is polished and finished with precision.

4. Sail Fete
Introducing this uniquely composed tile, its complementary angles evoke nautical imagery. It is available in three elegant colourways, including a Cesario & Co favourite: the Sail Fete Multi Blend Mosaic. This design is inspired by Italian Cosmati floors.
In addition to this beautiful design, you can also purchase the Sail Fete Mosaic in Black which combines Silver Wave, China Black and Bianco Carrara marbles, as well as in Grey which mixes Thassos, Bianco Carrara and Bardiglio marbles.
5. Ombre
There is nothing like a beautiful ombre effect. The Ombre collection by Artistic Tile offers a unique range of design possibilities that is fully- customizable. Clients can choose everything from the direction of the ombre to the spacing in between. This mosaic creates an experience that truly adapts to your unique design style.
There are two beautiful versions of this mosaic: Billie Ombre, made with glass, and Ombre, made with stone.
Beginning with the Ombre Stone Mosaic - it arranges a host of classical and gorgeous marbles into a cascading wave, sweeping through beautiful white stones from a pure white Thassos, to a milky-white Bianco Dolomiti. The Grey colourway will then extend into a grey Statuary marble and the classic grey of Bardiglio Nuvolato, and ending with deep, dark China Black. Each of the stones is polished for a consistent finish. The Lilac colourway takes a different path as it sweeps into Lilac marble, from soft veins against white to deep purple, all polished.
The design possibilities offered by the stone Ombre mosaic and its extenders are marvelous, and will create an exceptional result.
Next, we have the Bille Ombre Mosaic made of gloss glass. This remarkable tile is inspired by legendary Jazz musician, Billie Holiday. Billie Ombre traces Holiday’s trademark melodic vocalizations along with a wave of vibrant coloured glass to create this ombre effect.

The tiles in Billie Ombre offer a unique array of design possibilities. Request an appointment with Cesario & Co to see the different design possibilities for your space.
6. Moon
The Moon collection comes in two versions: Moon Cosmati and Moon.
Moon Cosmati is unlike any other with its intricate design. In the Middle Ages, several generations of a family of stone artisans designed and installed a series of astounding mosaic floors all around Europe, known as the Cosmati, which is the inspiration for this tile. The dazzling, polychromatic design is among the most important types of mosaic work to this day. Moon Cosmati is composed of bisected circles of rich veined stones in a complex pattern. The Moon Cosmati tile is presented in two colour options: Dark Multi and Light Multi, which are fully customizable.
The Moon tile differs from Moon Cosmati because instead of placing the bisected circles with their backs to one another, they are flipped around to form a complete shape. Crafted in Jazz Glass, this tile is a definite stand-out feature in any space. The Moon tile is offered in Light Multi and Dark Multi finishes.
7. Walden
The Walden tile is described as “tranquil and lovelier than diamonds.” This tile really stands out as a symbol of nature’s restorative and meditative quality. This mosaic traces the shape of peaceful lily pads floating atop still water.
Walden is available in two elegant colourways: polished Bianco Onyx and Honed Lilac, both of which are available for customization with a glass or stone of your choice.
8. Vitruvius
Introducing this wonderful work of art: the Vitruvius tile. It is inspired by Leonardo DaVinci's famous "Vitruvian Man," which is based on De Architectura, a building guide that was written by the Roman architect and engineer, Vitruvius. This piece is known to follow the golden rules of Vitruvian architecture which are: firmatis (durability), utilitas (utility) and venustatis (beauty).
The use of circular patterns overlapping one another is prominent in the tile which is similar to DaVinci’s drawing of the multi-limbed man. This design is an intricate, fluid and visually stimulating pattern with origins in classic Roman aesthetics, made for a modern palette. This tile is available in three different colourways: Botanic Green, Lilac and Thassos.
9. Tambourine Traps
Tambourine Traps includes an ensemble of colours and textures that are presented in a rhythmic and angular pattern. Their beauty can enhance a space with their bold, glossy look. You can experience the signature gloss quality of the traditional Jazz Glass, or you can try something new by mixing it up with the dynamic mixed finish matte tumbled and gloss version. Both are beautiful on their own, or they can be paired with other tiles and mosaics.
The Tambourine Traps series is available in three additional finishes, including Bugle Blue Blend, Gillespie Green and Watercolor White Blend.

10. Sakura
Sakura is the flower of a cherry tree and representative of the gentle look of this tile. Loved by so many in Japan and cherished in North America, the full bloom of a cherry tree is emblematic of Spring. The Sakura tile captures this magical moment in a mosaic form. The pattern has drifting blossoms inset into a swirl of stone.
Sakura is available in two colourways, Bianco Dolomiti with blossoms of Vanilla Onyx, Calacatta Bluette, Azul Cielo, and Calacatta Gold; and in Calacatta Bluette with blossoms of Bianco Dolomiti, Artemisia Grey and Azul Cielo.
11. Alison Rose Euclid
This alluring tile design was created in collaboration with one of Artistic Tiles’ favourite designers, Alison Rose. The striking Euclid tile is a modern design crafted from the finest classic marbles out there. Euclid is made up of many parts, which can be assembled in a huge variety of formats, making it fully customizable. This is a clear expression of Alison Rose’s passion for proportion, balance and scale.

The Estrella tile is available in three different colours: Silver Blend, Be Bop White and Grey Blend. These beautifully crafted tiles are available at Cesario & Co.
14. Hip 2B
We are feeling bold with the Hip 2B tile. Offered in glass or stone options, this collection can really make a room stand-out with its extravagant design. Like the repeating squares of a step pyramid, the Hip 2B collection beautifully showcases a classic mosaic pattern with both bold and subdued colour palettes.
In the Hip 2B Square glass collection, there are light blue or green glass squares stepping down to dark blue or green, each area outlined in brass. This style has a retro and contemporary feeling, and is truly a unique one. Hip 2B Stone includes notes of Silver Wave, Blue Travertine, Azul Cielo and Thassos in each square, and is designed with Bianco Carrara, Statuary and Bianco Dolomiti.
15. Encaustic Flower
The gentle floral pattern on the Encaustic Flower tile is inspired by the timeless style of encaustic tile. This collection presents an eight-petaled, two coloured flower that is cut from a variety of colourful marble.
The intricacies of this tile make it a definite showstopper in any space. The Encaustic Flower is presented in two colourways: Rosa and Lilac.
