Novamosaici is a craft workshop located in Bollate, in the outskirts of Milan, founded in 1955 by Mario Toniutti and today managed by his sons Edoardo and Eugenio.
For over 65 years the company has been crafting artistic stained glass and mosaics, including collaborations with famous artists, and carrying out restoration work on ancient artefacts. Their mosaic compositions stand out for the skilful juxtaposition of colours and materials, particularly marble, ceramic and multi-coloured vitreous enamels: tiles of various sizes are arranged on different levels, giving volume, expressiveness and depth to the artwork, thus creating highly evocative abstract or figurative images.
Their artistic stained glass windows are crafted in any size, made either with “dalles de verre” glass sheets or otherwise and bonded with reinforced concrete or lead, using the collage or glass fusion techniques. Here, too, the surfaces are specifically treated in order to achieve “vibrant” compositions of light and colours. Their works have been installed and showcased in both religious and civic buildings, private homes or public urban spaces.

Maestri indiscussi della tecnica, rara in Italia, della vetrata in dalle de verre, i Toniutti hanno saputo trasfondere nei disegni di importanti artisti una luce solida, scabra, dalle mille sfaccettature, rendendo la matericità dell’arte contemporanea, armonizzando l’immaterialità della luce con la brutalità del cemento e con i linguaggi dell’architettura contemporanea. Nel campo del mosaico, questo singolare laboratorio si distingue per l’estro nel creare tessiture in cui l’irregolarità delle tessere e le discrepanze dei loro spessori donano alle superfici decorate una robusta vitalità.
