The effects of compacted raw earth and of the ancient rammed earth construction technique are presented from several different viewpoints in the Compatta tile collection. Sabbia evokes the dense, powdery intermingling of dust and grainy muds in warm shades, which turn cool and grey in the Limo colours.

The large slabs, on the other hand, reveal the sinuous stratification of layers of earth of uniform color typical of the rammed earth building method and are available in the warm Pisé Sabbia and cool Pisé Limo shades.

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.

NO_W from Flaviker combines the graphic minimalism of certain types of Northern European stone with a characteristic shade variation typical of slabs obtained from different blocks or from different quarries. NO_W offers a modern interpretation of old stone floors, giving the tile collection a distinctly contemporary flavour.

NO_W comes in a highly contemporary colour palette tailored to the needs of contemporary architecture. It offers interesting design opportunities when used in conjunction with the other natural-look materials.

No reference or imitation: Transition is a sophisticated return to craft ceramics, where every element was and still is sensation, matter, research.
A graphic feature that leads to the world of italian-made craftsmanship: an ancient skill, known and handed down through time, blends with the technology of industrial production.

Transition is presented the Red Dot Award 2016 for Product Design.
