Could you present your firm and your latest projects ? 

The founder of SICIS wanted to rediscover the history and evolution of luxury mosaic, from the past to nowadays. He wished to explore this material and enhance its flexibility and its multiple uses; thanks to these involvements SICIS is today one of the most important contemporary mosaic creators worldwide. Mosaic is for us a multiform language, a material that can interpret traditions and trends.
SICIS is synonymous of luxury and originality; our know-how and uninterrupted pursuit of work enable us to merge genres, styles and materials in various sectors, ranging from surfaces to furniture and jewellery.

You are participating to the Cersaie exhibition this year, what products and innovative solutions are you going to present on the fair?

Cersaie 2017 is for SICIS the occasion to present our new collection of coatings and decorative surfaces. Our Italian Maison offers high-quality solutions for both interior and exterior customizable coatings. We will be presenting extraordinary variations of our glass mosaic collections, as well as the Vetrite collection, the protagonist of this Cersaie edition. We’ll be also presenting our Electric Marble collection, born from a complex research on materials and colors. A work of art in which marble natural texture is mixed with pigments of electrical colors forming irregular lines and light vibrations, making the space more dynamic. We want to rediscover the beauty of the essence, using materials, colors and contemporary art atmospheres. Every realization seems to recall abstract paintings, in which the refinement of the product is exalted. Our designers have developed the latest collections drawing inspiration form the idea of evolving SICIS’s DNA, and elevating towards a new level.

How do you foresee the evolutions of your sector, and the main challenges to address between now and 2025?
In the next decade, the challenge in our sector will probably concern the high competition set on the market by low-cost, poor quality and high accessible products. In order to protect the originality of mosaic patterns, we will have to focus on a product communication that emphasizes the quality of raw materials, the design and the MADE IN ITALY manufacture of which we are really proud.
Italy is the country of design and craftsmanship, we hence highlight the Italian history and know-how. We reach the international customers, who are sensitive to the beauty and attentive to the quality of details.
SICS is a perfect match between craftsmanship and research, leading to an industrial production that respects traditional principles. SICIS has evolved and patented the technique of creating artistic mosaics, and has as well developed new methodologies for the realization and the application of the marble mosaic along with the most precious stones and metals. We have also extended the use of mosaic in every sector and recently we have also invented one of the most amazing new products that will change our sector: Vetrite.
The idea of the company of entering in the furnishing, fabrics and accessories industries is another important proof of the strength against the stationary market trends. We wish to differentiate our brand creating an eclectic style, a SICIS style, able to interpret a refined and elegant taste.
