The TESSERA concrete decorative wall pattern, designed by Urbi et Orbi Studio in 2016 as part of the Funky collection, goes back to the iconic symbols of the 1970s.

This pattern is the most characteristic symbol of the ’70s. It embodied a sense of optimism for the future, inspired by the space age and technological advancements of the time, envisioning a bright and colorful tomorrow. Often allowing for personal expression and creativity, geometric pop designs were used in fashion DIY and interior decoration to make bold statements and stand out from the crowd.

The psychedelic movement of the 1960’s heavily influenced the design aesthetic of the 1970s, emphasizing mind-altering experiences and visual distortions. Geometric patterns were frequently combined with psychedelic art to create mesmerizing, trippy graphics.

Tessera, meaning ‘four’ in Greek, comprises four concrete pieces in different dimensions. These pieces can be cut or left as is during installation, resulting in a unique effect on the wall due to the various combinations possible. One or two sets of TESSERA, whether in the same color or not, can adorn an empty wall and transform it into an artwork. Easily mounted with crystallized transparent glue, TESSERA offers a versatile and visually striking option for interior decoration.
