Mosaics DesignOneSource.com apart from other websites serving the A&D community. This innovative tool both expands the reach and accelerates the process by which architects and specifiers select product types including colors, textures, technical attributes and environmental pedigrees for their interior design projects. As a result, the creative process is faster, more efficient, more thorough, and more inspiring.

Mosaic’s dynamic search algorithm swiftly sifts through DesignOneSource’s comprehensive database of approximately 1,000 colors and woodgrains offered by 28 of North America’s most preeminent decorative surface suppliers revealing the products that most closely match in color. Users can easily refine a search to narrow their color selection based on material options like TFL, HPL or wood veneers; environmental attributes such as FSC certified, LEED compliance, or no added formaldehyde; and even fire-rated properties. Every product is supported by technical and performance information, as well as a cache of related downloadable documents.

Mosaic’s user-friendly configuration tool also allows the user to select multiple colors and other attributes at the same time to filter through millions of combinations. High-quality images of the various products selected from the search results can be viewed side by side, providing a clearer visualization of how they will blend together in the project. Samples of each of the selected products can be ordered in mass by simply adding them to the user’s personal “shopping cart.”

Mosaic's key features and benefits include:

• Advanced Search and Filter Options: Users can easily refine their search based on specific criteria such as product type, color, texture, pattern, or several technical attributes streamlining the selection process and saving valuable time.
• Visual Inspiration: Mosaic provides a visually stimulating interactive experience, allowing users to see how different materials, colors, and textures come together to create stunning design solutions.
• Project Visualization: Mosaic users can visualize their design choices for their projects, helping them make informed decisions based on a wealth of information and ensuring seamless integration with their designs.
• Time and Cost Efficiency: Mosaic significantly accelerates the material specification process, reducing the time architects and specifiers spend researching and selecting materials, ultimately leading to cost savings.
