The Arkiquartz Collection: Mediterranean Stone Reimagined

The Arkiquartz collection captures the essence of Mediterranean stone, specifically Kavala Stone, with remarkable fidelity. Through advanced graphic elaboration and meticulous detailing, traditional cracks and imperfections are reproduced, creating an almost three-dimensional, rough-hewn appearance. This stone-effect stoneware is suitable for both floors and walls, offering a robust and visually striking option. Notably, the collection features a "Leaf" pattern, a decorative motif inspired by foliage that adds an artisanal touch to outdoor spaces. With anti-slip properties and a soft touch, Arkiquartz provides both aesthetic appeal and practical performance, available in various formats and colors.

Elisir Royal: The Warmth of Natural Wood

Embracing the comforting and inviting qualities of wood, the Elisir Royal collection offers ultra-realistic wood-effect stoneware. This collection boasts a soft-touch finish and a natural character, with surfaces designed to reflect light subtly, creating a gentle chiaroscuro effect. New technology accentuates the open-pore grain, giving an oiled appearance and mimicking the elegance of traditional woodworking. The Elisir Royal collection is available in formats suitable for flooring, including a distinctive Hungarian chevron pattern. It features both a "Natural" finish for soft, hygienic surfaces and a "Grip" finish for enhanced safety and non-slip performance in wet areas.

Multiforme: A Tapestry of Nature's Motifs

The Multiforme collection, part of the "Indoor Garden + Biophilic" concept, interprets interior design through a series of nature-inspired patterns. This collection aims to bring the beauty of the outdoors inside, featuring floral, faunal, and even landscape motifs like sunsets and stormy clouds. It moves away from the sterile, post-industrial aesthetic often associated with cement-effect stoneware, instead offering warmth and a unique "total look." Utilizing three ceramic technologies, Multiforme is available in a wide array of formats, colors, and decorative patterns, making it adaptable for any space, from bathrooms to living areas, and offering easy installation and maintenance.
