This Year’s HGTV Green Home Giveaway is hitting close to home for Artaic. Not only has does the newly built, earth-friendly abode incorporate a wide variety of sustainable tile, this year it has taken residency in Plymouth, Massachusetts; a short drive from historic Boston – home to ARTAIC’s design studio and robotic mosaic production facility. The 2,100 square foot, shingle-style cottage with wrap-around porch is a symbol of American living; designed with a sustainable approach and appealing aesthetics. The seaside bungalow reflects a traditional/contemporary style and embraces comfort. The eclectic blend of sustainable furnishings and accessories play up the crisp, white interior of the house.

ARTAIC’s attention to details narrows in on the stunning use of sustainable tiles seen throughout the home. Looking at the kitchen, amidst the sea of white cabinetry lays a charming backsplash made of glass tile. The demure colors and simplistic design of the mosaic compliments the kitchen’s sleek appliances and glistening counter-top. Appreciated for more than just their beauty, the mosaic tiles are made from recycled glass, reducing its impact on the environment.
Thanks to all those who stopped by our booth or attended our presentation a last week’s Residential Design and Construction Conference.
This year we decided to go with a different approach to with our display by showcasing several of Artaic’s Featured Artists. Artaic is proud to collaborate with fine artists from around the world and love having the chance to present their great work. Our booth featured work from artists, Anna Comella, Yitz Finch, Wendy Shapiro, and Rock Art Studios.
Also as part of the RDC demonstration main stage, Artaic CEO Ted Acworth presented the ease of creating a custom mosaic using Artaic’s Tessera software. If you missed the presentation, feel free to watch it below.
Overall we were delighted by the enthusiastic response from the RDC attendees and can’t wait to show off more Featured Artist work at the next Residential Design and Construction Show.
Artaic CEO Ted Acworth will be presenting two demonstrations at Residential Design and Construction 2010. The presentations will be taking place on the main demonstration stage. Ted will be showing how to use Artaic’s free software, Tessera, to quickly and easily realize the vast design potential of mosaic.

Artaic developed unique software and a robotic manufacturing system to design and fabricate custom mosaics. Artaic demonstrates how to use their free software to quickly and easily realize the vast design potential of mosaic.
Welcome to the Create…Innovate…Design…Build Blog, a weekly blog focused on the incredible world of design innovation. Because this sector is both ever changing and constantly evolving we hope to use this blog as a forum- a place to learn about new developments in topics ranging from art, to construction, to technology. We realize that that’s a pretty broad range of subjects, but we’ve learned that inspiration can come from the oddest of places.
The Artaic team is formed by creative, hardworking, imaginative individuals who seek to provide the world with beautiful, custom mosaic projects. From the inception, the goal of Artaic was to merge art and technology in order to make the mosaic medium more accessible. Through the development of custom design software and a revolutionary robot, our team was able to start designing one-of-a-kind mosaics. The possibilities are endless as to where our mosaics can be applied. Various projects ranging from a large-scale atrium to custom designed coffee tables have incorporated our mosaics to enhance the aesthetics and durability of their design.
Due to the endless possibilities of our work and the continual developments of the industry, we feel it is of the utmost importance to stay up on emerging trends, techniques, and technology. The aim of CIDB is to explore and reveal new happenings in the design world, and how they may pertain to the mosaic medium. We look forward to your future visits, and welcome comments and suggestions!
