Crea Collection by Ariana Ceramica Italiana
The Crea collection from Ariana Ceramica Italiana, of the ABK Group, combines the company’s longstanding tradition in the field of high-quality designer wall tiles with the extraordinary advantages of W&P, an innovative and exclusive technology that ensures outstanding aesthetics and ease of use. It combines the appeal of post-industrial plaster and concrete with sophisticated pastel tones to create soft, seductive surfaces in which pearly materials alternate pleasingly with satin backgrounds and unexpected three-dimensional effects.
Blu Ponti by Ceramica Francesco De Maio
Blu Ponti, a new collection from Ceramica Francesco De Maio, is composed of 20- x 20-cm tiles with a thickness of 14 mm, which faithfully reproduce the glaze, colors, decorations and the thickness of the ‘60s. Strictly hand-decorated with the ancient technique of decoration, the collection is printed by hand. Thirty decorations with geometric and naturalistic motifs were designed by Italian designer Gio Ponti.
Metrochic by Ceramica Sant'Agostino
Creating continuous movements, themes and harmonies of structures, lines, designs and colors, with a modern and elegant visual musicality is Metrochic by Ceramica Sant’Agostino: a white body collection designed to create countless wall games with three white, three-dimensional structures — in hollow circles, intertwining structures and embroidery. Based on two concrete-effect gray tiles — a light and darker one — neutral and aesthetically immaculate, the collection shows its aesthetic refinement with styles, shapes, color and geometric patterns from the past tailored to the taste of contemporary design.
Imperfetto by Fioranese Ceramica
Fioranese Ceramica’s new collection, Imperfetto, is inspired from pressed Earth, modified by marks and scratches. A “manipulated” Earth, contaminated by tracks and weaves, impressed on the surface by tools and with material textures created by ancient techniques that have recently been recovered by great Italian craftsmen. The human hand therefore reworks the ceramic surface, overlaying marks and other materials, similar to the works of Burri. The result is a collection with a refined, sophisticated flavor.
Play by Imola
Play is Imola’s new double fired tile collection, made in one standard format (20 x 60 cm), with a satin finish surface and extremely soft surface appearance that is the essence of the collection. Play makes you want to get creative, mix and match tiles and create something one-of-a-kind. The truly neutral white can be combined with six backgrounds, in current, modern shades — green, lavender, mauve, dark blue, dove-grey and yellow — and a wide range of decorations, including polka dots, geometric elements and lines.
4D by Marco Carona
New trends for interior decoration put solid colors and flat two-dimensional decorations aside and open up to thickness, movement, dynamism and the richness of walls. Shapes are the striking feature of this trend; designers are concentrating on multifaceted diamond shapes, chevron patterns and lines. However, the key element is three-dimensional. Used both for functional and decorative reasons, three-dimensional tiles offer a variety of bas-relief options to decorate walls. The new wall tile collection, 4D by Marco Carona, embraces several three-dimensional designs, and is available in two sizes, two colors and eight structures.
Terracruda by Ragno
Terracruda by Ragno is a new ceramic material that draws inspiration from historic construction materials in the form of sunbaked clay and straw. The tiles have a satin effect matte surface that is soft to the touch, which comes in a range of natural and contemporary colors. The graphics impart a natural sense of movement to the wall surfaces, while the three-dimensional structure of the decor tiles and mosaics produces a dynamic interplay of light and shade. Terracruda is perfectly compatible with concrete-, stone- or wood-look porcelain tiles.
Riflessi by Unica
The beauty of ceramics lives in its contrasts. Riflessi by Unica is a collection which encloses this contrast between the glossy geometrical glass patterns, confined with a matte finish which recalls concrete. The shiny surface is fragmented with a harmonic sequence. This collection is available in two patterns and one size, 8 x 8 inches, and is offered in six colors, which vary from white to blue.
