La Fabbrica is an Italian company that has been operating for more than ten years on the American market. It produces and markets superior quality ceramic floor and wall tiles and decorative accent pieces.

At La Fabbrica, quality is a concept that knows no exceptions: accuracy in the production processes, top-quality raw materials and a final product that is unrivalled in terms of beauty, uniqueness and the completeness of the range are the inspirations that have always guided business at La Fabbrica.

Through major investments made in researching and developing new products and production processes, the company can take pride in a line of extra-thick full-body stoneware products. The tiles will not freeze, are easy to clean, hard-wearing, scratch-proof and will not show wear and tear.

In 2005, La Fabbrica decided to introduce and promote its products even more aggressively on the American market by launching two new collections, designed especially for this market: the new collections are called CATHAY and IMAGO.

The CATHAY collection takes its cue from La Fabbrica's intention to design a large-scale project with a view to meeting the needs of a particularly sophisticated and discriminating market. Americans want a high quality ceramic product, in a complete line and with an elegant look.

Cathay is inspired by an exotic stone with a smooth finish, almost warm to the touch, and an undeniably understated, tasteful pattern.

Cathay tiles will lend equilibrium to the home. It satisfies the tastes of people who look for a timeless floor and decorative tile that looks perfect in any style décor, a meeting point between classic and modern, including minimalist. The selection of patterns and mosaics guarantees versatility in installation while the modularity of up to five formats yields an incomparable result. The collection is available in four colours and in a wide range thanks to its five formats and three different finishes per format: 60-by-60 cm, 30-by-60 cm, 45-by-45 cm, 30-by-30 cm, and 15-by-15 cm in natural, natural and rectified, honed and rectified finish.

From a technical perspective, the design is equally impressive: the collection is in full-body stoneware. The tiles are extra thick, freeze-proof by nature, non-absorbent, resistant to acids and withstand scratching and wear and tear.

No less important is the IMAGO collection: a prestigious collection in brilliant marble shades and an antiqued surface appearance of the stoneware. The tiles are made in a coloured body, 12 mm thick. The product may be defined as a "new classic" for its innovative stylistic interpretation of the material, which blends the natural qualities of limestone with the shimmering brightness of metal and the beauty of mother of pearl.

IMAGO is available in five colours, in honed and rectified finish, in 44.2-by-44.2 and 22-by-22 formats. The collection is completed with decorative pieces and mosaics. You can contact us at www.lafabbrica.it, info@lafabbrica.it.
