Integrating it safely and effectively below water required technical reinvention. That\u2019s where SICIS comes in. Known for its roots in fine mosaic craftsmanship, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sicis.com\/US\/en\/homepage\"><strong>Italian brand<\/strong><\/a> has continuously expanded its material research to develop surfaces that balance artistic impact with structural resilience.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>Based in Ravenna \u2014 the historic heart of Italian mosaic \u2014 SICIS draws on traditions of manual skill and visual storytelling to inform its contemporary production methods. What began as a vision to modernize the mosaic has evolved into a full-spectrum interior design brand, encompassing furniture, lighting, textiles, and architectural surfaces.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Vetrite surfaces from the Gem Glass collection bring depth and luminosity to the water<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">BACKLIT TECHNOLOGY DESIGNED FOR AQUATIC ENVIRONMENTS<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>Vetrite, the material at the heart of the Olympic Villa project, is a large-format decorative surface made by fusing glass with polymer films. Its unique composition lends visual depth and a gem-inspired translucency, while maintaining the durability required for challenging environments, including underwater applications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>For this particular installation, 120\u00d7120 cm slabs from the Vetrite Gem Glass collection were cut and arranged in a bookmatch layout, ensuring that the mineral-inspired pattern repeats symmetrically across the pool\u2019s surface. The result is a continuous, flowing aesthetic that echoes natural crystal formations \u2014 organic yet meticulously controlled.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>SICIS\u2019 patented Neptune system enables fully submerged lighting beneath decorative glass<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>Bringing this vision to life beneath the surface is Neptune, SICIS\u2019 patented system engineered for submerged backlighting. It uses a very low voltage power supply, ensuring total safety even in direct contact with water. A specialized matrix evenly distributes light, accentuating the visual complexity of the material while withstanding water pressure, humidity, and temperature changes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>The effect is a pool that emits a stable, ambient glow \u2014 visible even during the day and dramatically intensified at night. When illuminated, the Vetrite surface comes alive, shimmering with aquatic tones and revealing intricate layers of light and texture. During daylight hours, it reflects its surroundings with subtlety and elegance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>the mineral-inspired pattern transforms the pool into a dynamic visual centerpiece<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p><span>The Vetrite and Neptune combination is designed for widespread use in luxury resorts, wellness centers, and spa environments, offering architects and designers a way to integrate light and surface in a single, unified gesture.
