Statuario Venato

Statuario Venato marble mosaic tiles create intricate decorative surfaces from the smallest format of natural stone. Individual tesserae (typically 10×10mm to 50×50mm) are cut from premium Italian marble and pre-mounted on mesh-backed sheets for efficient installation. The snow-white base with grey mesh-pattern veining creates mosaic surfaces that shimmer with depth and movement — particularly effective in shower floors, bathroom accent walls, pool surrounds, and decorative borders. Pricing: ¥600-1,800/m² depending on tessera size, pattern, and finish.

Statuario Venato mosaics are available in multiple configurations. Brick/running bond: rectangular tiles (15×30mm) in offset pattern — classic, clean, versatile. Herringbone: rectangular tiles arranged in V-patterns — adds visual movement and directionality. Basketweave: pairs of rectangular tiles woven in alternating directions — traditional elegance. Penny round: 25mm diameter circles — soft, playful, Art Deco character. Hexagonal: 50mm hexagons — geometric precision with organic feel. Windmill/pinwheel: rectangular tiles radiating from center points — decorative interest for feature areas.

Mixed-material mosaics: Statuario Venato paired with Nero Marquina (black marble), Emperador (brown marble), or metallic/glass tesserae creates contrast patterns that add visual complexity. Water-jet cut custom mosaics: any design can be produced from client drawings — logos, borders, pictorial scenes.

Primary applications: shower floors (small-format mosaic provides excellent slip resistance through grout lines), bathroom accent walls (behind vanities, in niches, or as full-wall feature), kitchen backsplashes (between countertops and upper cabinets), pool waterline borders, and decorative floor inserts.

Installation: mesh-backed sheets (typically 300×300mm) install like standard tile. Use white marble-rated adhesive and white or color-matched grout. Seal after installation and grouting. For shower floors, ensure proper slope (1:4 ratio) toward drain before mosaic installation.

For hotel bathrooms, marble mosaic details communicate luxury at the touchpoint level — guests notice and appreciate the craftsmanship in shower floors and accent walls. For residential projects, mosaic features add artisan character that differentiates show homes from competitors. MOQ: 10 sqm for standard patterns, 30 sqm for custom designs.
