A luminous mosaic comes to life beneath the surface of the water, using decorative motifs, vibrant colors and scenographic compositions to turn any pool into an innovative expression of refined luxury. Sicis – an Italian company that has built its name on high-end mosaics and innovative cladding materials – has introduced Neptune^®, a patented backlit system made with opalescent Vetrite. Using ultra-low-voltage technology that is specifically engineered for aquatic environments, it is perfect for pools of all shapes and sizes in hotels, resorts, spas and luxury homes. A striking example is Olympic Villa, a private residence in Cambodia where the large, irregularly shaped outdoor pool becomes a multifaceted, multicolored gem that transforms with the changing light during the day and the artificial light at night.

Customization is a hallmark of the system. The range of colors and decorative options is vast, with over a hundred combinations to choose from – spanning shades of beige, yellow, orange, gold, pink and turquoise – allowing for tailored design solutions that elegantly and perfectly adapt to any project style or architectural structure.

Esthetics and functionality go hand in hand, offering designers extensive creative freedom. In addition to their visual impact, Vetrite slabs are extremely easy to maintain and can be replaced just as easily thanks to the modular approach. Their smooth, non-porous surface resists chemical agents and UV rays, keeping colors vibrant and unchanged over time. This innovative system takes both the esthetic and functional standards of pool design to a new level, turning each one into a unique, emotionally and visually dynamic experience by day and night. The result is a scenographic design statement: every pool becomes a one-of-a-kind architectural feature.
