Limited Edition Dolce & Gabbana Mosaico Eyewear
The technique of micro mosaic, or filato minute mosaic, requires the spinning of the composing tiles, thus resulting in tiles that were much smaller and thinner than those used in classic mosaics. The micro mosaic, created exclusively for the Dolce & Gabbana eyewear collection, involves masterful expertise in the spinning of Murano glass. The micro tiles are then delicately and accurately laid by hand, a technique that constitutes the very foundation of their mosaic craft.
Over thirty different filato designs were developed in order to create the floral compositions. The collection is yet another tribute to the floral theme so beloved by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. The micro mosaic beautifully recreates different types of flowers: romantic red pansies, snow white plumeria, and the delicate hues of the pink gerberas and the lilac of forget-me-nots.
