About ART NOUVEAU TILES

My name is Nicolas Malosetti am an architect, graduated from the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism at the prestigious University of the Republic of Uruguay.
I think the choice of materials for works of architecture as a determining factor. I found the retrieved objects of exquisite works of the past with varying material application possibilities.
The value that these pieces have after a careful skillfull design is compounded by the quality of the manufactured of the industrial processes of the early XX & XIX centuries. Moreover the fact is no longer possible to perform the expensive ennamels that were used owners of an unique gorgeous color.

These tiles com from demolition and uninstalls in our Uruguayan cities where they were used in great profusion in the early XX century. The economic boom of our cities at the beginning of the century made it possible to use large quantities of rich material that combined with a great expansion of city areas demanding of easiness and fast construction made tiling a perfect finishing material.

A subsequent economic decline did preserve these gems because of low pressure over this area of real estate retained by this city many of these homes undisturbed.
