The Scarpa Mosaic Collection

Original Wide, Original Narrow, Mini Scarpetta, Scarpa Grande, and Scarpa XL

The Scarpa Collection

In 1957, the visionary Italian architect Carlo Scarpa was commissioned by the Olivetti company to design their flagship showroom in Venice’s Piazza San Marco. The resulting Negozio Olivetti is celebrated as a masterpiece of mid-century modernism—a space where historical Venetian materiality meets rigorous, rhythmic geometry.

The Lulo Tile Scarpa Collection is a direct homage to this architectural landmark. The distinctive, interlocking geometry of the mosaic echoes the keys of the Olivetti typewriters themselves, translating industrial design into a profound architectural surface.

Today, this collection represents our most specialized and internationally sought-after range. We have evolved Scarpa’s original vision into a comprehensive, highly scalable architectural toolkit, offering five distinct proportions—from the intricate Mini Scarpetta to the monumental Scarpa XL.

Uncompromising Customisation

The true power of the Scarpa Collection lies in its bespoke capabilities. While we maintain stock of select formats, this range is inherently designed for custom fabrication. We collaborate directly with architects, designers, and international clients to tailor the mosaic to the exact specifications of their project.

Whether specifying a unique blend of marbles, requiring a specific tumbled or honed finish, or conceptualizing a non-standard layout for a large-scale commercial space, we bring your vision to life. With minimum custom orders starting at just 10 square metres and a typical fabrication lead time of only 8 weeks, the Scarpa Collection offers unparalleled access to bespoke Italian-inspired craftsmanship.

Original Wide Joint Scarpa Mosaic

The truest expression of the Negozio Olivetti floor. Characterized by expansive grout channels, this format offers a highly malleable visual identity. It can be hand-trowel grouted to highlight the individual stones, or overfilled and machine-honed in situ to create a breathtaking, monolithic terrazzo-style finish.

Original Narrow Joint Scarpa

A refined adaptation featuring a standard, narrower grout joint. This configuration simplifies installation while allowing the natural figuring and colour of the chosen stone to take absolute visual prominence on the architectural plane. Typically held in stock across a variety of premium marbles and travertines.

Mini Scarpetta Mosaic

Maintaining the exact geometric proportions of the Original Wide format, the Scarpetta is reduced to nearly half the scale. It is an exceptionally intricate surface, particularly beautiful when hand-finished to create a soft, undulating, and highly tactile texture. (Special order: 6-8 weeks typically)

Scarpa Grande Mosaic

The first of our large-scale adaptations. At two-and-a-half times the size of the original, and featuring bold 20mm grout lines, the Grande format utilises substantial pieces of select stone. It is engineered to bring the rhythmic texture of the Scarpa design to medium and large-scale commercial and residential expanses. (Special order: 6-8 weeks)

Scarpa XL Mosaic

The grandest iteration in the collection. Scaled up by three-and-a-half times and defined by monumental 30mm grout lines, the Scarpa XL is an architectural statement piece. It is designed specifically for vast spaces that demand a profound, textural focal point, grounding a room in mid-century grandeur. (Special order: 6-8 weeks)
