To celebrate New Ravenna’s 30th year in business, we created Heritage, a mosaic collection that journeys through our three decades of design, innovation, and craftsmanship, by reinterpreting some of our most popular and beloved patterns, textures, and finishes alongside modern new materials.

The three main areas of focus for this collection are: history, texture, and color. Our history is something the people of New Ravenna hold near and dear to our hearts. Started by Sara Baldwin in 1992 out of her parents’ garage, New Ravenna has grown and flourished; truly standing the test of time and experiencing firsthand some of the most interesting and telling highs and lows of the design industry - all while staying true to our roots and our people on the idyllic Eastern Shore of Virginia, where we call home.

One of the most unique aspects of our mosaics is the texture, and no one does texture better than New Ravenna. From polished stalks and tiny pieces of tumbled tesserae to smooth glass and glazed basalto full of sparkling inclusions, New Ravenna’s materials and finishes are unmatched, and we’ve paved the way for texture (and different techniques of achieving said texture!) in the mosaic tile industry.

Lastly, we wanted to highlight color in this collection, as it is a huge nod to our heritage, no pun intended. After twenty years of playing it safe with grays, whites, and creams, risk-takers emerged asking for bolder hues...and we rejoiced!

Enter our colorful arsenal of pigmented jewel glass, and the game changed. We experimented with ombre color blends in various shapes, textures, and sizes, added bold pops of color to our stone palette, and made more photorealistic mosaics for home installations than we ever expected.

We invite you to take a journey with us through 30 years of our Heritage.

History The patterns in this decade speak to the company’s very beginning, when we were inspired by the ancient mosaics of the Roman African tradition - the floors you might see uncovered in the ancient palaces of Tunisia and Rome. At the time, we were working with many traditional simple fields, so for this collection we took on the task of creating a few new takes on simple fields (this is a lot harder than it sounds!)

Hand chopped and tumbled tesserae connect the designs to the ancient heritage of the mosaic patterns, and their waterjet counterparts modernize the overall look of the mosaic and highlight the movement of the selected specimen stones: Oyster, Thunderhead, and MONTEVIDEO.

Textu re In our second decade, we became industry innovators in the area of textures, creating our Tatami, Cosmos, and Venetian honing techniques. We also began incorporating dazzling metallic accents (24k gold glass, brass, and aluminum) into our stone and glass mosaics, adding shine and glamour. In this set of mosaics, we’ve revisited and redesigned some of our most adored patterns using these classic textures and accents.

Color And finally, a color craze! After twenty years of the safety colors: beige, gray, and white, risk-takers emerged and we rejoiced. Our pigmented jewel glass palette answered the call and we designed whimsical murals and vibrantly colored patterns that brought connection and personality into the home. We experimented with ombre color blends in various shapes, textures, and sizes, added bold pops of color to our stone palette, and made more photorealistic mosaics for home installations than we ever expected.
