12.11.14 | Exmore, VA | New Ravenna has introduced the new Illusions Collection with Red Lake, a warm red marble from Turkey that matches Marsala, the Pantone color of the year. The marble is used in two designs, Euclid and Francois, paired with Afyon White and Horizon, two shades of white stone also from Turkey. The classic opus sectile designs have a historical precedence in majestic floor patterns first seen in Roman and Greek antiquity.

Sara Baldwin, founder and creative director of New Ravenna says of Marsala, "This robust red has been used for centuries to warm interiors. The natural stone we import from Turkey is rich and dramatic. Paired with soft white, we've created modern dimensional mosaics using classical color and pattern."

Every mosaic in the Illusions Collection is a custom creation, sized to fit each installation. The mosaics can be installed on both vertical and horizontal surfaces, indoors and out. The Illusions Collection is available at all New Ravenna showrooms throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, Russia, and Dubai.
