It's a Møzaik Møvie!

Here's a little movie showing how you can Mozaik your kitchen table....

Helmøzaik!

If you like rolling on 2 wheels (Shalgø does), why not spruce up that shabby old helmet with some mozaik tiles?




This helmet was done with a Blü Møzaikit. We just cut the tiles up into smaller triangles (as seen below).

Solving a Two Year Long Dilmma

From Brook in Denver: "[Mozaikit] answered a two year long dilemma I have had! I have a window in my house where my evaporative cooler (air conditioner) lives. In the winter, when it is not in use, the window is closed and you can see the ugly innards of the cooler. I’ve tried about 5 or six different methods of making it look nicer and this was the perfect solution. I placed the squares on the panes from the interior side and now it looks almost like a piece of art on the wall (rather than a 75 year old nasty window with a machine inside of it). I’m so excited about it that I brought the product insert to work to show my buddies (who are now convinced they need a Mosaikit too). My next plan is to use the rest of my box to embellish my cubical at work. "

Thanks for the pics, Brook!

(What the devil is an evaporative cooler?)

Shalgø Goes to Brazil! Or is it Argentina?

Looks like one our 9000 wallets made it to Iguazu Falls.

Which is right about here:


Thanks to Luc for the pic! Apparently, right after this picture was taken, that girl standing in the foreground stole the wallet and jumped into the falls, never to be seen again.

UPDATE: That's not actually true.

Brick Archway

Møzaikit tiles are good for making borders around things, like:
  • a bedroom
  • an archway
  • the Netherlands
(note: if you want to make a Møzaik border around an entire European country, please give us a few weeks notice to get all the tiles ready. PS: we think you should do Estonia.)

We Also Make Wallets

Out of Ductape no less. Who knew!

The ShalgøMobil

Before we officially got into the møzaik business, we were in the ductape business. From the looks of it, though, we've been møzaiking it all along.

This 1972 VW Squareback is covered with over 5,000 pieces of waste ductape that were left over from making our Famous Ductape Wallets. (Shalgø likes to recycle).

We were so happy with the Shalgømobil that we started a whole new product line to celebrate.
(Incidentally, this car is actually for sale, and it comes with a lifetime supply of free ductape wallets.)

tHis iS mY iPod

It was really scratched, so we gave it the tile treatment. (Yes, we have come to learn that you can møzaik pretty much anything.)


Note: normal Møzaikit tiles are a lot bigger, so unless you have a 5 foot tall iPod this won't work with a regular Møzaikit set. That being said, we could make one of these for you if you really wanted one...

This Is Our (other) Car

Shalgømobil Number Twee (that's "two" in dutch)


(we seem to have a think for VW stationwagons, don't we?)

Oh, come to think of it: If you want us to Møzaik your car, send us an email! If you're local, we'd be happy to come over and do it for you. If you're not local, we'd be happy to have you buy us a plane ticket to come visit you and stay for a couple of weeks while we Møzaik your car. (you can also put us up in a fancy hotel, that's fine too.)

Møzaik With Your Friends!

If you do, there's a good chance they'll buy you dinner and make you tea.


Almost done...


See! Free tea!

We even had enough tiles left over to fancy up the entertainment system.
(then we had sushi.)

This Guy is Living in Our Hallway!

And apparently he speaks Dutch.


I know, it's not really a Møzaikit, but it IS a sneak preview of one of our new products. Stay tuned! (or email us if you want one right now.) His name is "That Guy," by the way. (On a totally tangential note, check out where the word "guy" comes from. It's kindof amazing.)

Wall Flowers


















Who needs real plants? Vinyl flowers never need to be watered, and they never, ever die.

This used to be a very dirty iBook
















Now it looks-- well to be honest it's never looked better.
(Møzaikits are very good at making old things look new)

This is Nate's TV

Our friend Nate went out and spent $2500 on this TV, and we paid him back by covering it in vinyl tiles. Lucky for us, he liked it. Unlucky for us, he moved, which means we can't watch movies on his awesome Møzaik'd TV anymore.




































(Bonus points for the first person to name the movie. Bonus points & a free Møzaikit for the first person to name the guy in the background in the white hat!)

This is the Macbook that started it all.

Quite literally actually-- we made this in a hotel room the night before a trade show (note the simulated wood grain finish from the Travelodge desk). In addition to being the first thing we ever "officially" Møzaik'd, this laptop is also responsible for making this entire website. So we like it a lot.

Somebody left this awesome table on the street.


We were gonna do it in black & white, but then we realized it would disappear into the floor and we might never be able to find it again.
