Nordby from KTL Ceramica is a wood effect tile that showcases the beauty of wood grains in neutral and realistic colours.

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.

Wall tile 2-36025 features variegated streaks in grey with warm undertones. Its linear design can create the illusion of a wider space when placed horizontally. Similarly, the illusion of a taller space can be created if the tile is installed vertically.

It consists of few yet basic elements. Motifs that hint at a 3D effect; streaks that seem to become softer thawing into the surface to make it ‘move’ and provide texture. A little sign, a light groove where colours merge to get softer or more intense and space seems to shrink to then expand again. Natural parallelisms, perfect yet imperfect, that give a clue on the natural origin of the material that inspired the collection and the creative design and experimentation.
