Orsoni Furnace (Color Library)

Orsoni is the historical Venetian furnace that uses the same techniques since 1888 to produce mosaic tiles.

The company once owned by Angelo Orsoni, founded in 1888, has upheld this precious tradition for over a century, passing down the manufacturing secrets from generation to generation, from father to son.

Precious materials such as enamels and a wide range of gold, along with an infinite variety of colors, are recreated almost magically, with an almost alchemical ritual, every day. These materials are stored in the Color Library, which contains thousands of shades cataloged like books.

These stunning mosaics from the Orsoni Furnace can be found the world over including the Basilica San Marco and Gritti Palace (Venice), W Hotel The Palm in Dubai, Washington D.C. Basilica (USA), Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, Le Sacre-Coeur in Paris, Saint Paul’s Cathedral along with Tottenham Court Road Tube station in London.
