laselva and mosaics mart bring old school technology and creative freedom
together for atlas, a completely modular, customizable tile system. the user is able
to decide the colors and combination and the tiles are then produced exclusively for
them by hand at mosaic mart in barcelona, spain. led by pere and albert mart, the
company was started in 1913 by their grandfather. since 1988 the brothers have spent
their time restoring presses, retrieving and repairing molds of old modernist designs

so that they can once again be installed, while paying homage to the past, with
quality and beauty.

atlas is made as an encaustic tile; the first layer is made of white cement, marble
sand and natural pigments, which are poured into a mold with the pattern to form
the resulting top surface. the second slab contains cement, while the third, sand.
when pressed, the bottom layers absorb the excess liquid from the top. due to their
composition, the modules harden in a natural way and the results are suitable for
indoor pavements and flooring. the positioning of the modules can be organized at
random, or it can be designed to follow a certain path or composition.
