    Art Noveau is a style of design and architecture that was popular in the late 19th century in Europe and US. This movement introduced a fluidity in mosaics designs and included intricate natural forms and flowing curves.

    Here at MEC we still use some of the best mosaic techniques from the those classic eras that have truly withstood the test of time and still prove to deliver the best results.



    For instance, cutting ad placing each mosaic tile manually. Using real 24K gold in the golden glass tiles and so on.


     In short, if you decide to work with us to get a mosaic design of your liking you can rest assured that your project is in good hands. Our Italian trained craftsmen and design team collaborate with the customer to bring their design fantasies into reality.
