Astratto Cosmati, an abstract Cosmati floor, is a modern and abstract take on the Cosmati technique. Supplied either loose or on mesh, this attentively created cosmati floor can be used throughout, as a border, or a central tableau or carpet. In addition, the degree of antiquing can be varied to client wishes. It is all possible at De Ferranti, as we pride ourselves on our ability to be fully customisable. We are also able to use historic marbles, often extinct, if required, as we have sources of old fragments and blocks. These may include Giallo Antico from Numidia, antique green porphyry (serpentine), antique red Egyptian porphyry palombino from Asia Minor, and of course, our vast range of semi-precious stones.

Abstract Cosmati Floor in Detail

Astratto Cosmati develops the Cosmati tradition through a patterned field of coloured stone and mosaic. The design depends on controlled contrast, repeated geometry and the natural differences between individual materials. Scale can change how the surface reads: close up it is intricate and mineral-rich, while across a room the larger rhythm becomes more apparent.

To compare nearby approaches, review Bussola Cosmati Tile alongside Alba Verde Cosmati. The broader Cosmati – Sacred Geometry in Coloured Stone & Smalti brings these pieces together as part of De Ferranti’s pavement archive, useful when developing a floor hierarchy from field material to border, threshold and feature panel.

Material Variation and Installation

The recorded applications include flooring, wall applications, bathrooms, kitchens and fireplace surrounds. For the abstract Cosmati floor, confirm the final scale, colour balance and orientation from samples or shop drawings before installation. Where the composition includes rare marbles, glass, semi-precious material or a deliberately aged finish, natural and hand-worked variation should be treated as part of the approved character rather than as a defect.
