Opus Regulatum
Pixel Technique
Tesserae laid in a regular grid where each element becomes a pixel of colour. The ideal solution for a contemporary, precise texture — creating dynamic, iridescent chromatic gradients.
The Collection · Piece I
Barcaccia
After Bernini, 1627.
In 1627, the Bernini family decoded the Baroque lines of a half-sunken boat and carved it into Roman travertine at the foot of the Spanish Steps. Four centuries later, the Fontana della Barcaccia still holds water — and the gesture that built it.
Barcaccia is its private answer. An ergonomic shell that does not merely contain water — it celebrates it as sculptural element. The authority of Italian history, brought into contemporary architecture.
The form embraces the body. The finish tells the story. The technology disappears.
The original
Fontana della Barcaccia, 1627
Pietro & Gian Lorenzo Bernini · Piazza di Spagna, Roma
In 1627, Pietro and Gian Lorenzo Bernini carved a half-sunken boat into Roman travertine at the foot of the Spanish Steps. Four centuries later, the Fontana della Barcaccia still holds water — and the gesture that built it.
Barcaccia is its private answer.
The Art of Decoration
Three Techniques. One Surface.
To enrich the Barcaccia shell, we offer three mosaic methodologies — from geometric rigour to the mastery of the manual cut.
Opus Vermiculatum
Artistic Technique
Master mosaicists cut each tessera by hand to follow the Baroque curves of the Barcaccia. The organic lines of the sculpture traced with unmatched fluidity — the surface becomes an eternal painting.
Collezione Gold
24K Gold Mosaic
Patented tesserae with 24-carat gold leaf sealed between layers of glass for an unalterable luminosity. Available in smooth, undulated, or satin-finished gold.
By Commission: Total customisation of colour, pattern, and technique. If we can lay it by hand, we can lay it for one.
Materials & Craftsmanship
We do not list specifications. We declare what the piece is made of — and what it is not.
- I
Solid Surface
A non-porous engineered material that allows the tub to be realised with invisible seams — appearing as a single block carved from the solid. Silky to the touch, absolute hygiene, and a pristine white that endures unchanged over time.
- II
Art Mosaic
A celebration of light through tesserae of the highest quality — artistic glass or gold leaf. Laid entirely by hand in our atelier. Tens of thousands of tesserae per piece.
- III
CNC-Carved Marble
For the most particular commissions, we sculpt the Barcaccia directly from blocks of fine Italian marble using CNC technology. Millimetric precision married to the nobility of natural stone.
Each piece is signed, numbered, and accompanied by a certificate of provenance.
Bespoke Technical Configurations
Engineered to Last. Built to Disappear.
Our technology is not made of screens or unnecessary automation — but of components chosen to last, integrated with the care only a craftsman can guarantee.
Wellness Systems
Hydro-Wellness
Classic hydromassage, airpool, or our microbubble system — engineered for deep, gentle skin treatment. Three technologies, one invisible integration.
Lighting
Energetic Chromotherapy
An integrated LED system that transforms the bathing ritual into a multisensory experience. Light becomes part of the water.
Engineering
Invisible-Jet Technology
Jets designed for total concealment or flush integration. The sculptural purity of the lines is maintained without compromising performance.
The Piece in Context
Envisioned in residence.
From the Mediterranean shore to private towers on the Arabian Peninsula.
Frame I
Desert light, travertine walls.
A private wellness suite on the Arabian Peninsula. The Barcaccia in Solid Surface — a single white volume against natural stone, framed by dunes and silence.

Frame II
The skyline, the marble, the vessel.
A penthouse master bath overlooking Riyadh. The Barcaccia set on a bed of white stones, lit from below. The city beyond the glass — the ritual within.
