Recently launched by Marazzi USA, the Studio M glass mosaic series tempts the senses with sparkling, reflective colors in both mini-square and mini-brick shapes. Quick movements, slow transitions, graceful segues from one beautiful shade to another are all combined in stain-resistant, frost-resistant, allergen-free glass.

The glass' watery translucence displays wisps of color at varying levels within the tessera -- producing unique, individual pieces within highly synthesized color ranges. The mosaics in this series can be used in stand-alone, full-glass installations or cut to form listelli or accents with stone, marble, travertine, wood or metal looks.

Studio M's technical characteristics accommodate exterior vertical and pool installations as well as Class 1 interior residential wall and bathroom floor applications, reports Marazzi USA. Use it to pump up color and reflectivity on spa walls, building facades, in swimming or ornamental pool liners.

Monochromatic to multicolour, soft to bold shades in glorious glass make Studio M the perfect complement for residential and commercial wall projects, according to the manufacturer. Paper-faced mounting offers protection against scratching during shipment and installation; the 13- x 13-inch module is an easy-to-handle size. Colors in the Studio M series by Marazzi USA include: Flamenco (pictured), Jive, Samba, Swing, Tango and Waltz.
