Azulej is a modern interpretation of the traditional patchwork layouts composed of small 20×20 cm tiles. The random mix of abstract geometric patterns and a vintage aesthetic makes the collection highly adaptable to a wide range of interiors and applications (walls and floors) while maintaining a genuine handcrafted look.
Mater is a reminiscence of matter, earth, and clay, with glazes as the true protagonists, owing to innovative application techniques that create vibrant tactility and a sense of craftsmanship. The tiles are manufactured in three sizes (15×60, 60×60, and 120×120 cm). The basic neutral plain tiles (Uni Beige and Uni Moka) are complemented by six Segno designs with supergloss finish: Segno Bianco, Segno Blu, and Segno Terra for Uni Beige, and Segno Nero, Segno Verde, and Segno Ocra for Uni Moka.
Thanks to the revolutionary Continua technology, Déchirer has become a breakthrough in the designer ceramic tile series. Since then, large-format unglazed porcelain stoneware slabs feature a homogeneous texture and precise calibration. These slabs are suitable for both facing and flooring. The subtle bas-reliefs represent the concept of “torn” memories. The neutral natural palette makes every interior look cozy yet modern. Sustainable development and respect for nature are other cornerstones of the series.
Mutina builds on the success of Déchirer with the Déchirer XL series, in which bas-reliefs run across the continuous slab surface. The Décor unglazed porcelain tiles, measuring 100×300 cm, are produced in Gesso and Grafite and are intended for both indoor and outdoor installation. Just 3 mm thick, the slabs are reinforced with fiberglass. The production method used (pressing pure source materials) and the innovative manufacturing facilities enable the production of large tiles with highly defined tactile details.
The handcrafted Bas-Relief collection reinterprets the art of sculptural surfaces in four decorative versions: Code features iterative dynamic patterns; Patchwork — ever-changing ornaments; Garland — digital flower designs; and Cloud — abstract, lightweight, continuous patterns. The tiles are available in two sizes: 18×54 cm (for facing) and 26.5×18 cm (for flooring) in three colors: Bianco, Cipria, and Nero. The varying depth of the reliefs enhances the play of light and shadow on the tile surface.
Jali is a traditional element of Indian architecture. Perforated terracotta bricks with decorative ornaments, also known as breeze blocks, are designed for both construction and decorative purposes. The range includes 3D tiles measuring 24×12×24 cm, produced by extrusion, in three colors: Neutral (natural finish), Black, and White (glazed). This modular collection offers multiple layout options (vertical, horizontal, and staggered) and a wide range of applications (interiors and exteriors of residential and commercial spaces).
Celosia shifts from traditional terracotta production techniques, offering new designer elements of 20.5×26.5×10 cm, characterized by unique aesthetic appeal and functionality. The breeze blocks are ideally suited for both interior and exterior installation in residential and commercial areas. The series experiments with the three-dimensionality of bricks reminiscent of the Roman numerals. The palette consists of two shades: natural terracotta and light beige.
The essence of Chamotte is pure color and expressive grain texture achieved by adding crushed ceramic to clay. The artisanal nature and tactile reliefs enhance the innate beauty of ceramic surfaces. The tiles of 7.2×21.3 cm are produced in three ranges: Linea (continuous lines), Quadra (ribbed surfaces), and Mono (subtle reliefs to match the abovementioned tiles). The palette consists of Bianco, Blu, Terra, Ocra, Nero, and Verde in the glossy finish. The double-firing technique contributes to the glazes' adorable color depth and exquisite gloss.
