Cera is an unexpected tile collection, never static to the eye but perfectly smooth to the touch, conveying a complete feeling of lightness and naturalness.

Ceramiche Refin has recreated the plasticity of wax by elaborating a deep surface, where small cracks, cavities and traces – derived from casting and following hardening – seem to dance lightly on a background that alternates light and dark areas.

Through constant experimentation, a special finish was developed especially for this collection: Cerasilk offers a particularly soft and silky hand that conveys the fluidity of the wax also to the touch, enhancing the textural effect. The matt and at the same time slightly reflective surface allows for an unprecedented, elegant and refined perceptive result.

Sicily tile collection is inspired by the sandstone that is found all over the island of Sicily. It is a sedimentary limestone that is particularly soft, averagely porous and features a variety of different colours ranging from white to pale yellow.This type of stone has been widely used in a number of Sicilian towns that are world famous for their architectural masterpieces, such as Siracusa, Noto and Modica. With this new tile project, Imola pays tribute to the intense and unmistakeable character of Sicily, a unique island in which a savage and instinctive relationship with nature meets thousands of years of richly layered history and hybrid cultures.

This tile collection’s strength definitely lies in the wood-stone combination, bringing together two different materials in a tasteful dialogue based on the use of the same surface finish.

Viva interprets stone, in a version inspired by Belgian Pierre Bleue, with an unusual approach, choosing a look with the brushing procedure interrupted to keep the typical marks left by the stone-working intact. These marks become design effects and give the product personality and originality.

The results achieved by the stone and wood combination, in both tone-on-tone and contrasting shades, are truly beautiful, with effects that are always very tasteful and never clashing.

In warm, modern colours, stone is teamed with types of wood in common use, with the signs of skilful craftsmanship added to establish a more uniform relationship between the two materials and provide original, striking results in both lines and colours.

Pave Brick offers a tile collection of remarkable similarity and detail to the weathered surface of bricks.
