All the allure of Leccese stone is evident here on this sophisticated ceramic surface, in natural nuances that are ideal for both classical settings – in the 60×60 size with aged finish – and more contemporary environments, using the larger sizes.
The name is indicative of a prestigious collection in which the detail of the texture, the carefully studied contrasts and painstaking attention to balancing the fossil inserts combine to create wonderfully smooth, appealing finishes.
Timeless elegance, enhanced by the four soft shades ranging from white to mud grey, as well as a warm gold nuance and a more neutral shade of grey.
Clay draws inspiration from concrete in the form closest to the natural elements it is made of: rock, clay and limestone. Gravel and rocks of varying coarseness emerge to the surface, as if immersed in concrete in a semi-liquid state. Produced in Mist white and three shades of grey – light Cinder, dark Iron and muddy Nickel – Clay is available in the 120×120, 75×150, 75×75, 60×60 and 30×60 formats, either with a matt or soft finish, with a soft hand and a very pleasant tactile texture.
The contrasts and brightness of a starlit sky become the inspiring concept of a surface that welcomes and gently reflects light: the ton-sur-ton vein patterns and metal-flake reflections emphasise the elegance of an unprecedented and trendy material.
Thanks to the charm created by the change in tone and by the iridescent shades, Cosmos distinguishes modern settings with a strong personality.
Industry is the new multi-material collection inspired by urban design and contemporary architectural trends. It includes two different surfaces offered in a wide range of sizes and colours to exalt the utmost project-planning freedom.
The Oxyde ceramics evoke the glazed look of oxidized metals combining bright and dark shades.Raw represents the chromatic and structural interpretation of raw cement and flaking plasters.
These peculiarities are exalted by the large sizes that enhance graphic traits and allow for the creation of extensive surfaces without interruption.
Stone materials are back in the spotlight once again in the Knightsbridge collection: top-class natural marble from the most renowned quarries in Italy and Europe whose typical nuances of colour and original veining patterns – sometimes delicate, others more marked – are enhanced by the lapping that gives a beautifully polished finish.
The collection is thus the expression of classic style given an elegant modern twist thanks also to the large 120×240, 120×120, 75×150 and 60×60 size.

Malibu evokes the concrete manually mixed by skilled carpenters and craftsmen, who use their tools to blend it with rocks and gravel of varying coarseness. The collection stands out for gravel clusters of varying sizes scattered randomly, which remind of fresh concrete casts in formworks or moulds, two techniques where concrete material is processed until it reaches a shape of its own. Malibu is produced in Mist (white), Cinder (light grey), Nickel (muddy grey) and Iron (dark grey) and available in the 120×120, 75×150, 75×75, 60×60 and 30×60 sizes, also with the Soft finish.
Miami is the result of a particular painting technique to ceramics, creating shaded effects generated by “brush strokes” layered on a concrete base. A virtual Miami that conveys strong material sensations, defining a collection with a decisive and expressive character. Miami gives spaces an urban, graphic and slightly raw mood. Miami is available in many sizes, rectangular and square, also with honed and soft finishes.
Thanks to the know-how developed over the years with its many collections, Miami has developed types of surface finishes for porcelain stoneware that offer different visual results and that also have specific characteristics in relation to their intended use. The matt finish, considered standard, is neither glossy nor rough and guarantees non-slip performance even for commercial or high-traffic environments. The honed finish tends to make the ceramic surface polished and reflective, smooth to the touch. The soft finish is somewhere between matt and honed, with a soft but non-reflective surface. Precisely for its pleasant feel, it is especially suited for walls, but also for floors where no special anti-slip characteristics are required.
Used by the greatest masters of contemporary architecture, concrete is taking a new role, moving from being a construction material to being a surface finish for architectural projects. Paris stems from analysing concrete in this latter, newer function. The collection stands out for slight clouding and more or less marked patterns, light micro-cracks, that usually form when the concrete volume shrinks by effect of thermal excursion and small holes (pitting) formed by air bubbles trapped between the cast and the formwork. The surface is rich with detailed marks and shades; from a distance it appears as a solid, consistent and compact space.
