Custom design for mosaic display.

Mercedes Austin, the visionary behind Mercury Mosaics in Minneapolis, turned to Shelfology to bring her studio's display dreams to life. Known for her breathtaking handmade ceramic tiles, Mercedes needed a functional yet artistic way to showcase her work and stay organized in her shop.

Our Shelfologists crafted a custom display solution that fit her vision perfectly. She loved it so much that for her next project—a mosaic “candy” shop—she called on us again. This vibrant space, where art lovers can create their own mosaics, shines with our custom displays, seamlessly blending artistry and hands-on creativity.

Handmade tiles, custom display.

"I was looking for a mosaic stand that had a finer quality, just like our mosaic kits. I wanted something industrial, durable and that could be used for other things. I ended up approaching Shelfology for these bases for their quality, ability to listen and the ease of working on something custom. The process was easy. We were able to give Shelfology’s Sales team a sketch of what we needed and the specs of our mosaic project and the team got to work on the first prototype. The process was clutch."
