Burano
20mm
Round Mosaic
The Material
Burano 20mm round mosaic steps away from the familiar grid of the square and introduces a softer, more playful geometry. Each tessera has a clear presence, yet repetition quickly transforms those individual circles into a continuous surface. The spaces between them become part of the composition, creating a rhythm that feels open and wonderfully relaxed.
There is something naturally appealing about the round format. Circles carry none of the directional qualities of squares or rectangles, so patterns can develop more freely across the surface. They can gather into bold graphic arrangements, trace larger geometric forms or simply celebrate the pleasure of repetition.

Sintered glass suits this format particularly well. Its opaque character gives colour a satisfying depth and clarity, while the glossy finish brings richness to each individual piece. Vibrant combinations can feel joyful and expressive, while softer palettes reveal a quieter side. Gentle neutrals and closely related tones give the round tessera an almost tactile quality.
At 20mm, the mosaic also has enough scale to make each piece part of the visual experience. You can appreciate the individual circles, their colour and their relationship with the spaces around them. Step further away and those same pieces begin working collectively, forming patterns with an entirely different character.
That shift between individual and whole gives Burano 20mm Round much of its charm. It feels unmistakably like mosaic, yet its softer geometry brings something unexpected to the surface.
Whether the pattern is restrained or exuberant, the circle keeps things approachable. There is precision in the repetition, but also warmth, movement and a certain sense of fun. It is a simple format with an unusually generous personality.
