Abstract

A modular mosaic architectural component having at least two mosaic pieces, and at least one support surface covered with the at least two mosaic pieces. The at least one support surface is preferably recessed with respect to a rim of the surface such that external surfaces of the at least two mosaic pieces are essentially at a same level of the external surface of the rim.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A modular mosaic architectural component, comprising: 
 at least two mosaic pieces; and    at least one support surface covered with the at least two mosaic pieces.    
   
   
       2 . The modular mosaic architectural component of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one support surface is recessed with respect to a rim of the support surface such that one surface of the at least two mosaic pieces is essentially at a same level of the external surface of the rim.  
   
   
       3 . The modular mosaic architectural component of  claim 1  comprising a body made of transparent or translucent material.  
   
   
       4 . The modular mosaic architectural component according to  claim 3 , wherein the at least two mosaic pieces are made of transparent material.  
   
   
       5 . The modular mosaic architectural component according to  claim 4 , wherein the transparent material used to make the mosaic pieces is glass.  
   
   
       6 . The modular mosaic architectural component according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one surface is flat.  
   
   
       7 . The modular mosaic architectural component according to  claim 2 , wherein the at least one surface is flat.  
   
   
       8 . The modular mosaic architectural component according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one surface is curved.  
   
   
       9 . The modular mosaic architectural component according to  claim 2 , wherein the at least one surface is curved.  
   
   
       10 . The modular mosaic architectural component according to  claim 1 , wherein the architectural modular component is shaped as a parallelepiped.  
   
   
       11 . The modular mosaic architectural component according to  claim 10 , wherein the at least one surface covered with mosaic pieces corresponds to a lateral surface of the parallelepiped and in which the rim corresponds to a rim of the lateral surface.  
   
   
       12 . The modular mosaic architectural component according to  claim 11 , further comprising a second surface covered with mosaic pieces which corresponds to an opposite lateral surface of the parallelepiped.  
   
   
       13 . The modular mosaic architectural component according to  claim 1 , further comprising a second surface covered by mosaic pieces arranged on opposite lateral sides of the architectural modular component.  
   
   
       14 . The modular mosaic architectural component according to  claim 1 , further comprising at least one coupling arrangement for coupling to a second modular architectural component.  
   
   
       15 . An architectural element comprising a first modular mosaic architectural component and at least a second mosaic modular mosaic architectural component connected to amongst each other through at least one coupling arrangement.  
   
   
       16 . The modular mosaic architectural component according to  claim 1 , comprising a body which is hollow.  
   
   
       17 . The architectural modular component according to  claim 16 , wherein the architectural modular component is configured to receive light fixtures.  
   
   
       18 . An architectural modular component, comprising: 
 a body of transparent material, the body of transparent material having at least two sides and at least one surface which is recessed to form a rim; and    at least one coupling arrangement positioned on the body of transparent material    
   
   
       19 . The architectural modular component according to  claim 18 , wherein the body of transparent material has at least two sides, a first side covered with the at least two mosaic pieces.  
   
   
       20 . The architectural modular component according to  claim 19 , wherein the at least two mosaic pieces are made of glass.  
   
   
       21 . The architectural modular component according to  claim 19 , wherein the at least two mosaic pieces are made of plastic.  
   
   
       22 . A method of providing an architectural element comprising assembling modular mosaic architectural components into a desired architectural configuration.  
   
   
       23 . The method of  claim 22 , wherein the modular mosaic architectural components of  claim 1  are assembled into the architectural element.  
   
   
       24 . The method of  claim 22 , wherein the modular mosaic architectural components of  claim 19  are assembled into the modular mosaic architectural components.  
   
   
       25 . An architectural element comprising at least one modular mosaic architectural component according to  claim 1 .  
   
   
       26 . The modular mosaic architectural component of  claim 1  having at least one rounded surface.
