Many people have a specific idea of what art means, from its display to its materials. But the two artists behind these gorgeous stone mosaics have challenged many ideas about both art and design. Naomi Zettl and Andreas Kunert, whose company is Ancient Art of Stone, design and build massive stone art installations that double as walls, murals, fireplaces, and more. The pair is dedicated to making beautiful pieces that are custom to every individual space, and doing so in a sustainable way. Just take a look at some of their work and try not to be amazed.

Here, Andreas and Naomi are posed in front of one of their stunning mosaic walls.

Working in concert with the natural wood elements in this cabin, the stone designs add a special texture and warmth.

The technique is also appealing on exteriors, as seen here, contrasting with more standard stone work below.

From up close, we can see the painstaking detail necessary and impressive volume of stones necessary to create these works.

The stones can even be used to create less abstract compositions, as seen here with this soaring eagle and fully moon.

Both stones and shells are largely collected near their home in Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

In this secluded patio, the stone mosaic background almost creates a static waterfall effect, but with more permanence.

Spiral designs are common in the stone pieces, lending each piece its own fluidity.
