Mosaic collection
Gold, assembled
leaf by leaf.
Goldinglass India’s Mosaic Collection was designed as an addition to its homeware range. In a delicate handmade process performed in a dust-free area, small squares of 24k gold leaf are assembled and inserted between two layers of high-quality glass before being kiln-fused using a sophisticated vacuum process. The combination of patented technology, handcraft and artistic creativity is visible in the tiles’ hues, tones, shades and textural quality.

Rectangle bowl
Luxury handmade rectangular bowl with 2cm squares of 24k gold leaf arranged across the glass. Its gently curved form gives the mosaic a full, dimensional appearance.
Plain collection
The quiet force
of one leaf.
The Plain Collection reveals the untouched beauty of a full gold leaf coming to life between two pieces of quality clear glass. Its radiating texture brings elegance and authenticity to an interior.
24k Gold Plain Square Platter

Decorate

lift of gold.

Artist collection
Birgitta Volz.
Birgitta Volz is an internationally recognised artist whose work has taken her to 18 countries, with nearly 100 solo exhibitions and more than 150 group exhibitions.
She began her career in 1985 as the youngest member of the Association of Professional Artists in Nuremberg, Germany. She received a BA in Design from Würzburg College and an MA from the University of Modern Arts in Kassel. Between 1996 and 2000, she lectured at art colleges in India, Portugal and Ghana, settling in Auroville in 2005.
A recipient of international awards, fellowships and artist residencies, Birgitta’s nature prints are held in public and private collections. Alongside her artwork, she founded the jewellery label Matrigold in 2006 and has created product lines and design inputs for Auroville units including Aureate, Shraddhanjali, Upasana, Aurosunshine, Auromode and Mitra.
“I wish to open people through the beauty of nature, which is a continuous theme in my art and design work. My aim is to create a consciousness which guides the observer above mere decoration. Ultimately, perhaps some viewers will gain access to the spiritual aspects and vibrations of nature.”
New pieces are added to the collection over time. For current availability, contact Mitra Auroville.
Architectural tiles
Gold across
space and form.
Range of tiles
Material
specifications.
Standard size
The standard mosaic measures 45 × 45mm with a thickness of 4mm. Products use inlays of pure gold, platinum or silver, with pure gold creating a rich finish of light and colour.
Glass
Standard mosaics use high-quality float glass with high hydrolytic class 5. The specifications describe resistance to rain, running water, chlorinated pool water and acidic water.
Surface
Special glass can create a more wrinkled, textured and lively metal appearance with a lighter colour. An etched surface can also be supplied in place of the standard fire-polished finish.
Curves
Tiles can be straight or curved. Curved forms suit façade edges, wall-to-floor transitions, pools, spas and ponds, while standard curved mosaics can achieve decorative designs across many radii.
Shapes, designs and colours
On request, 24k mosaics can be manufactured to a custom shape, size or radius. Colours are created with coloured glass and are described as UV-stable; blue and pink shades use silver leaf in addition to the gold inlay.
Although more than 2,000 glass colours can be produced, the standard programme is recommended for practical ordering. It is organised into nine basic colours—green, blue, indigo, violet, brown, grey, red, orange and yellow—with three intensity gradations and tone-on-tone gold options, providing a spectrum of 81 standard shades.
Interior decoration
A warm,
luminous ambience.
Multifaceted 24k gold-in-glass tiles can adapt to two- and three-dimensional artworks. Interior specialists may use them functionally or to create symbolic patterns and expressive walls for residences and workplaces.
The possibilities extend to homes, hotels, restaurants, spas and other interiors where architects and designers can realise unique models with a luxurious, light-responsive surface.
Outdoor design
Built for
the elements.
Entirely handmade, 24k gold-in-glass tiles can become part of a new construction or the remodelling of an exterior structure, combining pure gold with other architectural materials.
Façade elements
A building can be clad with mosaics applied directly to walls or roofs, or with ready-made façade elements. Goldinglass India can shape AS 316 grade stainless steel to project specifications—rectangular, triangular, round, straight or curved—and can develop the affixation system and structural load calculations.
Ponds, fountains and decorative objects
Ready-made tiled basins can be supplied for ponds and fountains with curved edges. The standard basin is 2.40m in diameter and approximately 0.5m deep, using an AS 316 stainless-steel base covered with approximately 2,000 24k mosaics. Fountain basins may be supplied with one or two central holes.
