Designer decors

Ian Carr, CEO: “We’re a global business with a focus on local services.The international character of HBA fosters a highly creative, collaborative work environment, constantly infusing various teams with developing young design talent. The creative staff is comprised of exceptionally talented design professionals, able to add value, raise standards, and enhance the brand of a project owner and operator.”

Paula O'Callaghan, Partner HBA Singapore:  "The first contact between the two companies was related to supplies for HBA projects, and HBA designers were impressed by the beauty of Atlas Concorde materials. Then we learned of our shared traits, both being global businesses that value tradition and have a passion for design and the pursuit of excellence in interior design. Our knowledge of the world of design and the experience of Atlas Concorde in the production of ceramic surfaces gave rise to the Marvel Travertine project.”

Lesha Fernando, Associate: “With Marvel Travertine, the variety of formats allowed us to satisfy multiple needs on floors and walls. The 9 mm thick products are ideal for tiling floors and walls and include a wide selection of sizes. This allows identifying the ideal fit between the format and the size of the space so that we could choose the best format for each space. The large slabs are best suited to cover extensive surfaces and are perfect also for counter tops, sinks, tables, and other furnishing elements in residential and commercial design. The 9 mm and 20 mm outdoor product ranges make the porcelain travertine perfect for terraces, large patios, driveways, and pool areas. Porcelain tiles are extremely resistant: they don’t scratch, stain, or change color over time, and this makes them a perfect ally for designers.”

Lesha Fernando, Associate: “Travertine is a material that’s been used for centuries, and has always been synonymous with elegance and majesty. Today it represents a popular trend in the design community thanks to its strong personality, timeless elegance, delicate shades, and natural colors that add warmth to contemporary projects. When we saw the surfaces of Marvel Travertine for the first time, we were impressed by how realistic the product looked, by the three-dimensional effect of the surface and by the graphic details that make it so similar to natural stone. The collection reproduces travertine in all its aspects, the two cuts, Vein and Cross, allow creating interesting combinations, and the three colors – White, Sand, and Pearl – reproduce the natural colors of travertine.”

Lesha Fernando, Associate - "Decors are a great design element. Patterns and wall and floor decors immediately draw attention to a particular area. They help partition different areas, and they add character to interiors. For this reason, we came up with five different decors for Marvel Travertine. The Tassellation Mosaic is composed of triangles and squares that fit together dynamically. The effect of movement can be increased by mixing the two graphic variants. The Origami Mosaic is inspired by Japanese art of the same name, creating the three-dimensional illusion of diamonds emerging from the surface. The Basketweave Mosaic is regular but brought to life by the different directions of the veins. The Chiselled Urban Grid and Diamond engraved decors with radiating geometries complete the range."

Lesha Fernando, Associate: “Safety and ease of maintenance are two extremely important requirements for hospitality, especially when it comes to public spaces such as hotels, restaurants, and stores. User safety is paramount, and the Atlas Concorde Sensitech surface ensures high slip resistance, a smooth touch, and extreme ease of cleaning, significantly improving surface maintenance in high-traffic environments.”
