New Ravenna, America’s designer and manufacturer of mosaics for residential and commercial installations, has interpreted the decadent, gothic style of the Addams Family, in anticipation of Wednesday, the new Tim Burton series. Burton revels in dark, macabre, gothic atmospheres and his dramatic homage to the beloved Addams Family aesthetic will inspire a contagious trend toward glamorous gothic design, dubbed “Addamscore.”
At New Ravenna, handcrafted black mosaics are never just black. Nero Marquina and Orpheus Black are polished, tumbled, and honed, each finish providing a different surface, absorbing or reflecting light. Glazed Basalto in Dahlia has the added texture of natural geodes, where glaze has pooled to create shiny organic doubloons in Essex. The Venetian honing of Orpheus Black in Coliseum gives the stone an elegant 3-dimensional quality. Byron has brushed brass thorns, Morticia’s ideal floral silhouette. Èze reveals the sinewy lines of a vulture’s talon in aluminum. In recognition of the Addams Family’s preference for the night sky, Phase to Phase is a spooky, moonlit mosaic.
Many of the mosaics can be installed on walls and floors. New Ravenna mosaics are available at showrooms throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe.
