This mosaic is crafted from reclaimed Italian porphyry cobbles, carefully cut into approximately 1cm square tesserae . The rich, earthy tones - ranging from warm russet and chestnut to muted plum and stone grey - reflect the natural variation of this highly durable volcanic material.

A surface defined by depth, density and history.

Set in a tight, disciplined grid, the small-scale tesserae create a textured field with subtle circular motifs woven throughout the composition. The reclaimed nature of the porphyry adds character and authenticity, carrying the quiet imprint of its previous life.

Porphyry has been prized since Roman times for its exceptional hardness and longevity. Here, it is reinterpreted through traditional mosaic craftsmanship, combining resilience with refined detailing.

Robust. Historic. Enduring.

A mosaic built to last generations.
