Trend was established in Vicenza in 2000 by the entrepreneur Pino
Bisazza. The company produces and markets glass mosaics and
agglomerates in
glass or quartz and granite grit, through its production units
and sales offices in Italy and abroad.
Trend stands out for its extreme awareness of the evolution of
design and its constant commitment towards the research and
development of new products, in observance of canons
established by artistic traditions.
Drawing into the past to rediscover valued artistic techniques and renew the possibilities of expression through modern technology; this, combined with an extraordinary creative spirit, is the true essence of Trend. The quest for new products moves in different directions that translate not only into new materials, but also into unconventional combinations of materials or colors, unusual forms and original design solutions. This gives rise to the suggestive multi-coloured transparencies, the unexpected iridescences or the radiance of the various mosaic collections destined to decorate not only private settings and urban environments, but also works of art throughout the world. The special formats and unusual combinations of materials used in original decorative interpretations become the key players of the latest trends. Mosaic proposed in innovative sizes, the modularity of the various formats, mosaic tesserae fitted into agglomerate slabs and the creation of thick agglomerates epitomize and sustain a new freedom of design and expression of which Trend is at the forefront. Trend's artistic essence also finds expression in the traditional artistic production of mosaic using gold leaf and coloured enamels. At the nineteenth century Venetian furnace, Angelo Orsoni, purchased by the Trend group in January 2003, a process of pure alchemy is repeated every day to revive the ancient and painstaking art of glass working. Collections, materials, technologies, artistic techniques and formats: a universe of ideas and countless multi-faceted combinations to confirm an innovative and creative spirit in continual evolution. The Trend Group has moved their headquarters into a seventeenth century villa in Vicenza, Italy, and have transformed the interior into an awesome expression of the use of their materials.
