Mattitude: The Beauty of Matt Glass Mosaic

TREND introduces Mattitude: elegant matt glass mosaics with a natural attitude to beauty.

TREND Group expands its creative universe with Mattitude, a new collection of tesserae featuring an elegant matt finish. This addition enriches the brand’s portfolio, offering architects, designers, and clients fresh expressive and compositional possibilities.

A New Vision for Mosaic

The Mattitude collection stands out for its semi-transparent colored glass mosaics, defined by a bold personality and a non-reflective finish. Designed for contemporary, sophisticated spaces, it seamlessly blends decoration and color with the pleasant tactile sensation of a matt surface.

The absence of reflections enhances the materiality, highlights the depth of textures, and helps create more authentic and sophisticated atmospheres. The result is a collection capable of transforming the perception of spaces, offering an even wider range of aesthetic and design combinations.

In tune with contemporary design trends, the collection anticipates a major industry shift: the return to natural, tactile materials. This direction privileges genuine surfaces, soft finishes, and atmospheres inspired by the simplicity of the natural world.

Mattitude perfectly interprets this sensibility, offering a discreet, refined aesthetic that steps away from decorative excess. Its strength lies in its ability to evoke nature through textures and finishes that convey a sense of balance, harmony, and simplicity.

122 Colors Interpreted in a Matte Finish

The Mattitude project takes shape through a curated selection of 122 colors in a matt finish, developed from Vitreo and Brillante, TREND’s iconic color ranges. However, the collection is designed to evolve, offering the flexibility to extend this matt finish to other color variants and formats in the future.

The Mattitude collection retains the distinctive technical qualities of Vitreo and Brillante, including a high content of recycled glass, keeping the material fully aligned with eco-sustainable principles. The colors, characterized by a fusion of artisanal elements enhanced with Venetian smalti and aventurine, acquire an even deeper aesthetic value. Together, these elements define a new visual and tactile identity that is thoroughly contemporary and material-focused. Designed for both indoor and outdoor applications, the collection is particularly suited for environments requiring high slip resistance.

Styling Suggestions

When designing a mosaic wall, one of the most compelling aspects is not just the choice of colors, but how they interact with the environment and the existing materials, creating continuity or contrast. Based on these relationships, several pairings can serve as a design reference.

The Mattitude collection is perfect for elegant, refined settings where attention to detail and compositional balance are essential. The matt glass particularly stands out when paired with tactile, contemporary materials such as wood, concrete, and plaster, establishing an authentic dialogue of contrasts and harmonies. It also pairs beautifully with dark metals—such as wrought iron, black aluminum, or anthracite industrial finishes—as well as highly textured surfaces. This makes it ideal for enhancing natural stone or complementing spaces furnished with organic fabrics in soft tones, ultimately creating balanced, sophisticated, and cohesive environments.
