The powerful beauty of Sicilian lava stone, sculpted by fire and embraced by the sea, inspires a warm Mediterranean porcelain tile collection. Lavica captures the primordial essence of the stone, bringing the magnetic and pristine charm of nature into contemporary design.

Glass paste shapes imprinted on the decor tiles accentuate the contrast between glossy and matt, creating a light and refined effect.

Inspired by the Namib Desert, one of the oldest deserts in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this tile collection captures the desert’s timeless beauty through refined, textural design. Its surface reflects the impression of majestic dunes, uniform from afar yet rich in intricate details and colour variations up close. The interplay of light and dark haloes, combined with subtle irregularities in grain and tone, creates a gentle sense of depth and movement that evokes the natural elegance of the Namib landscape.

Simulating the appearance of aged concrete, Gare du Nord tile collection interprets this effect in a controlled yet realistic manner.

"The Northern Stone"
Stonequartz is porcelain stoneware inspired by quartzite, of which it recaptures the typical texture in three colours: off-white, luminous grey and warm beige.

Patinata
This surface treatment combines the use of diamond discs and brushes. The result is a soft and elegant surface with waxy reflections. By means of a special procedure, patented by Cotto d’Este, the Stonequartz Patinata series undergoes, between pressing and decorating, a further honing treatment.​

Fiammata
This unique and recognisable surface has been faithfully created using molds from natural stones. Flash effect texturing can only be performed on certain types of stone (granite, for instance, that has a high content of quartz). It consists of singeing the surface of the stone with a flame jet and then plunging the stone into water to obtain immediate cooling. The abrupt temperature change makes the stone expand and the result is a typically rough texture.
