The latest development, showcased at Cersaie, highlighted the designer’s originality and unmistakable style. Poetry Net, the most recent addition, draws inspiration from the tactile quality of frescoes and the woven textures of fabrics and unfolds as a visual narrative on ceramic surfaces.
Poetry Net tiles
The new Poetry Net collection draws inspiration from interior decoration projects in diverse and multifaceted contexts, including hospitality, catering and residential spaces. Poetry Net derives from exclusive wall finishes, with canvas and fresco to create visually striking walls. Fabric fibres, ranging from hemp to cotton with their distinctive light or dense weaves, are blended with pictorial materials to produce unexpected effects.
The term “net” aptly reflects the concept of a weave capable of capturing and enclosing other elements, such as colour pigments, within its structure. The pure and boundless creativity of these surfaces is particularly evident in the patch and multi versions, which are designed to evoke the feeling of numerous pieces of fabric immersed in colour on both floors and walls. These designs create captivating shading effects, embracing and celebrating the stylistic code of imperfection.
The originality of the collection is further enhanced by the versatile range of sizes up to large slabs and available in three neutral shades – Milk, Ash and Sand. In these tones, the canvas pattern becomes more subtle yet remains warm and immersive, creating a soft and cosy atmosphere that suits any interior design.
Poetry Stone Reloaded tiles
Poetry Stone Reloaded further broadens the exploration of stone in design projects. Many types of stone are closely associated with the regions from which they are sourced and where they have been used throughout history, making them an ideal canvas for the designer. Avola stone from Sicily, renowned for its original speckled effect, comes in sophisticated Rope and Fog versions. Basaltina, a lava stone from central Italy that has been used in architecture throughout history, reveals its micro-porosity in the three colours Silver, Smoke and Dark. And finally Jura, an alpine stone with a highly varied texture, is recreated in White, Sand and Ash.
