The TownHouse will also host ever changing, unique and experimental art pieces along with innovative limited edition art. Through its groundbreaking vision, Sicis has made bespoke mosaic available to the world market.

We're continually developing new techniques and products, inventing ways of working with mosaics respecting the art and details from history," said Maurizio Placuzzi, founder and CEO of Sicis.
