Mosaic artist, David Arnott from
Salford in the UK makes bespoke mosaic art by hand. He can create almost anything
with mosaics and due to the performance, durability, convenience, and ease of use,
David only uses LATICRETE products for his mosaic projects and insists that he
“wouldn’t go using anything else, especially on high-value work.”
David’s talents were recently
noticed by luxury designer Debbie Wingham. Debbie has previously been involved
in many luxury and high-end projects, and this time, Debbie enlisted David to
collaborate on a piece that would combine edible art, mosaic tile, and diamonds
for the birthday of a client’s son. The two artists decided to work with
24-carat gold tile, Swarovski crystals, and diamonds to create a roulette table
that would form the centrepiece of a birthday cake.
David decided to use SPECTRALOCK® PRO Premium Grout* since he wanted to incorporate diamond dust to give “a
rich shine to the piece”. He installed pink and black diamonds and over 35,000
gold tiles with SPECTRALOCK PRO Premium Grout.
The piece took about one month to
complete and was unveiled during an intimate family party at the
client’s home.
The combined piece featured an edible cake recreation of the birthday boy, roulette chips, and a Gucci bag stuffed with gold money. The table featured a 20-inch roulette wheel and a million-dollar chip and included no less than $4.5M worth of 24-carat gold tile and diamonds.
Steve Ball, Commercial Director of LATICRETE UK, was happy to be involved with this project, "To be used in this expensive creation is a multimillion-dollar endorsement for us! We thank David for being as supportive of the LATICRETE brand as we are of him. A fantastic piece of work to be proud of and we very much look forward to the next exciting project with David”.
