The challenge

Generated art is not a manufacturable tile layout

The challenge was bridging the gap between artistic generative AI and physical manufacturing requirements. The system had to translate text into high-quality designs, segment those designs into consistent tile patterns, and match colors of generated pixels to available physical tile palettes for accurate production.

What we built

From a description to a 5mm tile grid

Generate, reduce to stock colours, then price it.

1/4The customer types what they want in plain English. No design software, no brief.

A generated picture is not a mosaic. The pipeline takes a customer's description, generates designs, then turns the chosen one into a tile layout that can actually be cut and shipped.

  • Text to design

    Flux Dev turns a plain description into several mosaic designs to choose from.

  • Colour segmentation

    K-Means clustering maps generated pixels onto the physical tile colours in stock.

  • Manufacturable layout

    The design becomes a 5mm tile grid, which is what the workshop needs to build it.
  • Straight into ordering

    Size, price and checkout run through Mozaico's existing Shopify store.

The impact

Custom mosaics ordered in one sitting

  • Designs generated from plain text
  • Colours matched to tiles in stock
  • Ordering through the existing Shopify store

The platform has automated the entire design-to-manufacturing workflow, allowing Mozaico to provide personalized, high-scale mosaic generation. Customers can now go from description to a ready-to-order tile layout in seconds, significantly increasing conversion and operational efficiency.
