Who says that furniture can't be art? Mosaics in interiors are the perfect example of this. Associated with the timeless beauty of architecture from the Roman Empire, these stunning patterns and pictures made of tiles have come to inhabit tables, floors, and walls. The most stylish people have always admired the look, evidenced by the presence of a tiled table in David Bowie's home.
An archival portrait from 1966 shows the English singer-songwriter posed in his London living room over a showpiece of a coffee table. It features square and oblong tiles arranged in various shapes for an unforgettable effect. Contrary to what you might expect given Bowie's later bold and theatrical stage style, the rest of the room is simple to accommodate the central statement furnishing.
