| Article | CHICAGO, June 23, 2008 – Chicago-based Trans Ceramica, a GranitiFiandre company, is introducing a comprehensive collection of mosaic tile products under their eclectic TCL brand of products. Designed to complement existing GranitiFiandre and TCL brand collections, the mosaics offer metal, pebble, glass, stone, and iridescent elements. “It’s been a goal of ours for some time to expand our product offering to include a complementary collection of mosaics,” said Jeanne Nichols, vice president—sales and marketing for GranitiFiandre in the United States. “This beautiful collection coordinates wonderfully with our existing products and provides limitless opportunities to create custom design installation.” Pottery, stone, glass and marble have been used in mosaic art since ancient times and are the inspiration for the TCL collection, which is offered in a variety of materials and in a full spectrum of natural colors, including: Metal – Copper Free Form, Grey Free Form, and Black Freeform Pebbles – Serenity, Tranquility, and Repose Glass – Lemongrass, Peppercorn, Lavender, Cinnamon, Chicory, Ginger, Peony, Dahlia, Hibiscus, Yuca, Sagebrush, and Cactus Glass and Stone – Mandarin Sticks, Mandarin 1'', Mandarin ½", Camellia, Fern, Tulip, Red Clover, Black Orchard, and Snapdragon Iridescent– Goldenrod, Aster, Meteor, Eclipse, Zodiac, and Comet Each mosaic is premounted on either a 12''x 12'', 13''x 13'', or 14''x 12½'' format with varying thicknesses, depending upon material selection. They are designed to coordinate with GranitiFiandre’s Nihon, NewMarmi, and NewStone Collections and TCL’s Earth Naturals, Native Stone, and Gallery Collections. A wide assortment of products are offered under the TCL brand ranging from technically advanced, glazed porcelains to contemporary glass and metal accessory lines that work alone, together, and as complements to GranitiFiandre products. Many of the TCL brand products are produced at the GranitiFiandre Group’s state-of-the-art facility located in Tennessee, while others are sourced from around the world.
