Dai di Piu - modular panels for floors and walls

The Glass Pyramid — our shared dream

At the Glass Pyramid in Lummen, my son Marco developed Modula Vision: software for designing, visualising and calculating projects, to complement our inventions.

After Marco died on 27 August 2009, I stopped pursuing the patent and brought the entire project to a halt. Our final historical brochure records the work we had built together up to that point.

Through Dai di Piu, I now want to give that knowledge a new opportunity. Interested people can discover the concept and develop it further using their own experience and expertise.

This playlist presents our inventions and projects: Dai di Piu, Pronto Ceramic, Pronto Mozaïek, and Modula Panel Vision and Calculation. My son Marco developed the software for Modula Panel Vision and Calculation. These videos bring part of our shared history to life, as also partly described in my book.

Developing together in the construction sector

Dai di Piu welcomes architects, interior architects, interior designers, tilers, flooring installers, contractors, renovation companies, property developers, tile manufacturers, importers and building-material distributors. Our prepared tile and mosaic panels offer a starting point for exploring applications for floors, wall coverings, kitchens, bathrooms and interior projects.

We are looking for interested people, workshops and businesses who want to explore our knowledge and develop the concept using their own expertise. Discover Pronto Ceramic, Pronto Mosaic Panels and the Modula Tile Panel System in the brochure and project videos. Modula Vision is part of our shared history with Marco.

Interested in collaborating? Tell us about your project

I still have all the source code for the software related to my patent, but I do not personally have the technical knowledge to work with it. Marco’s software will be offered at a later date, if an agreement can be reached with the parties involved at the time. The parties involved in the development at the time are invited to identify themselves and contact me to discuss a possible agreement.
