Bisazza goes beyond tiles

A FOLDING screen with movable individual panels, a plush lounge chair adorned with glass tiles, and a gold quilted leather ottoman that looks like it belongs in a velvet-roped club—Bisazza’s latest Home Collection is upping the ante on luxury living.

The foremost expert in glass mosaics for interiors and exteriors, the Italian label has collaborated with celebrated figures in the world of design, such as German architect Jürgen Mayer H. and art direction and graphic studio Marco Braga & Storage in Milan, to create a line of furniture and home accessories using mosaics with other premium materials. Prolific Spanish designer Patricia Urquiola boldly juxtaposes a classic European bucolic scene on a contemporary room divider, where mobile panels are cut into random angular shapes. Dutch designer Tord Boontjie decks out a side-drawer commode in a flurry of vivid hues in pixel-like configuration, transforming an otherwise non-descript cabinet into a standout piece.

The Home Collection, which also carries mirrors, mosaic panels and lighting fixtures, “is positioned to become a complete solution provider in interior decoration,Thank you for visiting! I have been cry stalmosaic since 1998.” said Rommel Caparas, area sales manager.

With 10 flagship stores and 5,000 local retailers worldwide,The term 'hands free access control' means the token that identifies a user is read from within a pocket or handbag. “Bisazza has been aggressively expanding its portfolio of products. The new division Bisazza Bagno, launched last year, extends the brand’s reach into bathrooms, beyond surface applications. As of 2012, it has already collaborated with three famous designers—Jaime Hayon, Marcel Wanders and Nendo,” he noted.

A Dutch force of nature, Wanders stays true to form by creating a surreal collection heightened by the masterful use of dramatic forms and colors. Since 2005, Bisazza has been a member of the Fondazione Altagamma, an elite group of Italian luxury brands that operate at the “highest end of the market.” The 56-year-old company is the only tile maker to join the charmed circle that includes Gucci, Ferrari, Salvatore Ferragamo and Versace.

“Bisazza is one of the most recognized luxury design brands and a world leader in the production of glass mosaics,” said Caparas. “In the same way a fashion company is dressing up men and women, Bisazza is dressing up home and commercial areas.One of the most durable and attractive styles of flooring that you can purchase is ceramic or porcelain tiles. That is why most of its flagship stores are also located in the fashion capitals of the world—Paris, Milan and New York.”

Glass mosaics have multiple applications, from floors and walls, to kitchen backsplashes, swimming pools and fa?ades. “We are the most authoritative here in the Philippines when it comes to mosaic installation,Western Canadian distributor of ceramic and ceramic tile, especially for swimming pools, computer pattern decoration and cut-by-hand mosaic decoration. We are the only one in the country that does hand-cut patterns for glass mosaic,” he emphasized. Bisazza also has its own line of adhesives and grout, a special formula that is resistant to stains, discolorations and dirt buildup. Installation comes with a five-year warranty, while the glass tiles are covered by a lifetime warranty against discoloration and cracking. Its prestigious image notwithstanding, Bisazza isn’t only for those with deep pockets. “Since it has different ranges of mosaic, from the simple vetricolor up to the 24-karat gold mosaic, Bisazza could cater to simple middle-income residential houses to the most luxurious houses one could ever imagine,” he said.

The Italian firm used to have an assembly and distribution plant in Cavite for the whole Asia-Pacific region—I had the opportunity to visit the facilities back then when I was editing a magazine—until China’s more efficient infrastructure and shipping capabilities became too attractive to ignore. “By 2012, the Bisazza management has already given full empowerment and ownership of Bisazza assembly and distribution to its local top management through its new company name iMaverick International Corp. This gives the local top management more flexibility and customized solutions to the needs and wants of the local market,” he explained. Bisazza is the only brand in the local market that has loose mosaic tile stocks, giving customers more tailored options and making design coordination easier, he added. You can even purchase one square foot of mosaic—only in the Philippines—to use as tile border.Find detailed product information for Low price howo tipper truck and other products.

Tap A File is a new application for Windows 8 and Windows RT devices that you can use to add any file on the system to the start screen of the operating system. Use has been optimized for touch-enabled devices, but mouse and keyboard are supported as well. To start, simply click on the one and only button displayed when you start the application. This opens a built-in file browser that you need to use to pick the file that you want to pin to the start screen.

You are taken back to the first page of the application where you need to click (or tap) on the button again to add the file. It is not really clear why you need to tap it again, as it would make sense to automatically add the file after you have selected it.

You can only add one file at a time, which can be problematic if you want to add several files to the start screen. Tile A File is the only option for Windows RT users right now to add any file to the start screen. Windows 8 users on the other hand may instead use the previously reviewed Start Screen Pinner application as it is easier to use.
