Timeless and limitless, Fantini Mosaici takes craftsmanship to the next level. The venue is composed of two sequential rooms that fragment the experience into different moments. First is the reception area, a dark space where the visitor’s eyes can adjust in preparation of an immersive installation that is hidden behind sensual curtains. This initial space is dedicated to read, learn and reflect upon Fantini Mosaici’s extensive history in the art of mosaic, terrazzo, pebblestone and marble stonework, while standing on a hand-drawn paving of organic waves cut from Black Portoro and Light Orobico.

Once through the curtains, the installation is revealed. A kaleidoscopic room where AB+AC Architects create the illusion of a boundless universe of rough and precious stones constituting a custom three-dimensional floor of floating pyramids framed by an endless grid of terrazzo portals. Here, the visitor can transcend the physical limitations of the space and dive into a futuristic landscape of infinite possibilities. For over 123 years, Fantini Mosaici has been the epitome of ‘Made in Italy,’ creating exquisite customized surfaces for the world’s most prestigious projects, including luxury hotels, designer boutiques, residences, places of worship and government institutions.

Although this millennial handcraft belongs to a collective memory of history and tradition, Back To The Future intends to challenge this relationship through an immersive architecture of opportunities, where low tech meets high tech.
