Fauxsaics By Nicholas Misani

WORDS Lindi Brownell Meiring IMAGES fauxsaics.com

Milan-born, New York-based designer Nicholas Misani creates typographic mosaic illustrations that could easily be mistaken for actual mosaic floors.

Working as a senior designer at Louise Fili Ltd, where he plays with lettering and design on a daily basis, he developed a technique and affinity for fauxsaics. “I love creating realistic digital typographic mosaics to commemorate my travels,” Nicholas explains on his website.

Nicholas hopes that his self-initiated project, which currently features designs focused on nine different cities, including London, Los Angeles and Mexico City, will soon become real-life installations.

You can also buy prints of the fauxsaic illustrations via Society6.
