1992
Mosaïque Surface is born. With little equipment and a total of 3 employees, including President Louis Fiset, mosaic making is a slow process. From technical drawings to cutting stone and assembly, everything is 100% handmade.
Story
Mosaïque Surface first gained attention with its locally manufactured, luxury natural stone mosaics.
In the early 90s, the art of mosaics is inexistent in Quebec and Italy is dominating the mosaics industry in North America. It is with much vision and inventiveness that Louis Fiset, self-taught pioneer in the art of mosaics, makes a life-time endeavour out of his passion.
For over 25 years, Mosaïque Surface has been pushing the limits of the North American mosaics market, always looking to innovate and to expand the boundaries of traditional tile making. Today, Mosaïque Surface remains a leader of mosaic fabrication in North America.
