New in 2011: Icône

Perhaps of all materials, stone is the best able to absorb and give back the full value of time. Time continuously leaves its mark on stone, changing its colour, surface and texture, capturing the true heart of the material there day after day.  

Icone is the synthesis of research which explored dozens of types of stone to select the four which best expressed both the legacy of time and the fascination and [...]

New in 2011: Noa

Noa represents the evolution of ceramic wood, with a hyper-natural interpretation of four types of treated natural wood identifying an equal number of living styles:

Blanchi, bleached oak;
Naturel, brushed oak with a particularly neutral natural style;
Flotté, brushed oiled oak with nuances of grey
Bruni, walnut reminiscent of old restored floors.

Special attention has been paid to reproducing the material quality of the wood. Particularly mat and with slight differences in reflection, the surface is slightly [...]

Elixir

Elixir

With Elixir, the new Novoceram porcelain stoneware collection, the charm of the surfaces of the past lives again in a surprising interpretation, that translates the wavy irregularities of the polished stones into a product aesthetically determined and contemporary.

The soft textured surface is declined in three vibrant colors: a deep black, a warm sienna and a white ivory, full of delicate nuances.

Origine, the ceramic wood by Novoceram

Origine, the ceramic wood by Novoceram

 With its ceramic parquet Origine, Novoceram interprets wood veining in three sizes of 90 cm long strip and an unusual 45×45 square format which can be laid in a chequered pattern, alternating the direction of the veins.   Partly thanks to this original proposal, in 2010 Origine received the prestigious Observeur du Design label, the international grand prix of design.

Origine therefore avoids the stereotypes of wood, not just with the unusual square format, [...]

A briefcase in High Tech ceramics

A briefcase in High Tech ceramics

Ceramics have an ancient tradition, but thanks to their technical characteristics and versatility, they are used in many fields of technology and contemporary design.

One example is the original idea from designer Alexandros Stasinopoulos who has designed a highly unusual briefcase, the “BRIEFCeramicASE”, making extensive use of ceramics. The idea behind the project is to exploit the resistance of new generation ceramics in an object such as a briefcase which may be exposed [...]
