Lithos Mosaico Italia

What Lithos Mosaico Italia does

Lithos Mosaico Italia is an Italian artisanal marble mosaic design studio and manufacturer, legally organized as Lithos S.r.l., headquartered in Martina Franca in the Apulia (Puglia) region. Founded in 1985 as a design studio and converted into a production company in 1994, the firm produces 100% Made in Italy handcrafted marble mosaics that combine centuries-old mosaic traditions with contemporary design and modern production technologies such as waterjet cutting. Its signature technical differentiator is the Acquaforte process — marble etching combined with hand-application of gold, silver, and copper leaf and pigments — alongside complementary techniques used across collections such as Alchimia, Caramel, Essence, OP' Land (a three-dimensional mixed-media mosaic), REWIND Masterpieces (large-format artistic reinterpretations of classical works), Pietre Graffite, Acqualine, and the Maison & Objet 2018 designer collaborations with Mighali and Mighali_Faggiano.

The company serves luxury residential clients, the hospitality sector (hotels, resorts, spas), and professional interior designers and architects. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time, project-based sales of custom and catalog mosaic solutions, with pricing conducted on a quote basis rather than through published price lists; a reserved B2B area on the bilingual (Italian/English) website supports professional specifiers, and the firm maintains visibility through listings on the architectural marketplaces Archiproducts and Archiexpo, an active presence on social platforms (Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter), and recurring participation in international design exhibitions including Maison & Objet and Cersaie. The business is family-owned with no external investors, no subsidiaries, no disclosed funding rounds, and no public ticker, and it operates from a single manufacturing location in Martina Franca.
