The design of the Materica tie collection is the fusion of two stones with different character, creating a new product with the capacity to adapt to both avant-garde spaces and more traditional ones.

NovaBell’s Thermae tile collection celebrates the ancient charm of travertine, the unique, exquisite stone that still animates surfaces today with its warm embrace. The fusion and perfect correspondence between chromatic dynamism and tactile structure results in extraordinary aesthetic realism combined with a seductive surface that is soft to the touch.

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.

Uniqueness is sometimes originated by chance encounters, by the overlapping of technologies and materials and is dictated by the flowing of time. DOWNTOWN is a tile collection that holds different and varied material inspirations to give life to a surface, new and original, in which stories of city paths can be read.

They are fragments that remain fixed indelibly in the memory, the stones, the pebbles, the sidewalks’ concrete, trampled on thousands of times, become a unique and inseparable material, of which the chromatic variations indicate the belonging to a place.
