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. "

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
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.)
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.)

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.
