From the fusion of a classic Burgundy stone and Onyx marble comes the idea for APE’s Cross tile collection. The stone comes from the historic region of Burgundy, famous for its vineyards, canal crossings and majestic castles. The other element used for this project is Onyx, a marble that, due to its extraordinary geological conformation, stands out for the movement of its veins.

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. Plain tile collection 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.

An exceptional material for wall decoration, the collection adds character to the space wherever applied.

DO UP offers surfaces with a new ceramic technology in which the best characteristics of porcelain are combined with the functionality of wall tiles. Just like wallpaper, these thin, large-format rectified panels can be used to create a meticulously designed decorative project.
