Art made personal
Color, illuminated from within.
Design the artwork and the light together
Backlighting changes how translucent glass is experienced. Color, texture and the silhouette of the composition can become more pronounced when light passes through the material. The visual effect depends on the chosen glass and the lighting behind it, so the assembly should be developed as one coordinated feature.
Residential statement pieces
Discuss an artwork that brings a different mood to the room when illuminated.
Architectural installations
Coordinate a larger composition with the wall build-up, surrounding finishes and lighting controls.

Bondi Sushi, Bryant Park
At Bondi Sushi in New York City, blue and green glass fish are illuminated from behind. This commission demonstrates how artwork and lighting can be conceived together.

From first idea to a considered finish.
Share your brief
Start with the space, dimensions, references and intended schedule. Tell the studio what you want the artwork to bring to the room.
Develop the direction
Discuss composition, palette, scale and material options alongside the project’s practical requirements.
Plan the handcraft
Agree the artwork, scope and fabrication details with the studio before the mosaic is made in Brooklyn.
Coordinate installation
Confirm delivery and installation responsibilities with your team, including substrate preparation and suitable setting materials.
Can every glass mosaic be backlit?
No. Translucency, backing and construction affect light transmission. Glass and assembly choices need to be developed specifically for the illuminated effect.
Is backlit mosaic the same as glow-in-the-dark art?
No. Backlit artwork uses a light source behind the glass; glow-in-the-dark materials behave differently. Specify which effect you want when making an inquiry.
Who plans the lighting and electrical work?
Coordinate that scope with your lighting designer and qualified electrical contractor, in discussion with the studio about the artwork and its construction.
How much does a custom mosaic cost?
Pricing depends on dimensions, design complexity, materials and fabrication requirements. Share your plans and intended application with the studio for a project-specific discussion.
What should I send to start a commission?
Send the project location, approximate dimensions, photographs or drawings, design references and target schedule. Include your designer or installer’s details if they are already appointed.
