The pinnacle of elegance and undisputed queen of covering materials, marble is given new life in this porcelain tile collection. Starting from carefully selected, rare examples of marble, the colours and veining have been re-interpreted with all of Rex’s technical skill and creativity, and transformed into highly evocative panels of inimitable elegance. The design was conceived to reveal harmonious patterns when the panels are placed next to each other over large surfaces, as do the textures.

This glazed porcelain tile collection recalls the beauty of the natural marble, Crema Marfil, bringing grandeur and magnificence wherever applied.

With their subtle veining and stark white shades, Tuscan marbles have been used by artists such as Michelangelo and Bernini to render their works immortal. This uniqueness has inspired the I Marmi tile series, which recreates the excellence of the colours and textures of such marbles in a porcelain version. Up-to-date digital printing technology is used to create endless surface graphics, producing a tile collection whose natural feel is always set off perfectly by fresh and original designs.

This is the story of a journey...
A magical journey into the fascinating Japanese culture, marked by harmony, dimensions that mute as time goes by. A culture characterized by many contradictions that identify the uniqueness and elegance. Balance between fast-paced innovation and traditions. In Japan, arts, traditions and rituals coexist harmoniously with technology, progress together with the speed in which it all happens. Knowledge is the key word that has marked the creation of this series. Ours was a love at first sight. From the vision of a house in the countryside near Kyoto, externally coated with burnt wood led to a charming and engaging emotion then fueled by the discovery:
Yaki or Shou Sugi Sugi Ban is an ancient Japanese technique, which consists in the carbonization of wood planks, making them waterproof and fireproof, still used in modern architecture.
The elegance of the Japanese master craftsmanship has the ability to make valuable materials which are poor, is definitely one of the large differences between our culture and theirs.
The result of this process has us excited and to say the least, fascinated.
We reinterpreted the fruit of this technique through Yaki in four different colors and two different surfaces, an opaque and a resin on a format of 15x120cm.
