Minimal-warm, the natural stone-effect style
11 June 2021
Before architecture and design, art history showed us the strong link between stone and humanity's ideas. Stories tell of artists struggling to extract forms from rock, or allowing the rock to express itself. In today's interior design there's a desire for a return to authenticity, simplicity, and natural materials, and the appeal of stone continues to be timeless. Strongly characterized by locations of their quarries, stones are sometimes symbols of a territorial identity. These same esthetic canons and identity values find full expression today in stone-effect porcelain tile collections that, thanks to a wide variety of textures, finishes and colors, become an important decorative element for those aspiring to re-establish a virtuous relationship with nature. Thus houses and metropolitan interiors are transformed into urban refuges. Thanks to the minimal-warm style of stone-inspired porcelain tile collections, designers can decorate spaces with total-look solutions that connect indoor and outdoor spaces.
Limestone: the earthy esthetic of stone
Simple, with rich, earthy textures and an ancient flavor. Limestone has inspired numerous stone-look porcelain tile collections for the interiors of residential, hospitality, and retail projects, combining the beauty of nature with the ingenuity of research and experimentation.
With its strong connection to the classic flooring of 18th-century French villas, Aix is a contemporary collection inspired by ancient limestones available in two color ranges: warm colors linked to Mediterranean architectural tradition (villas, Provence farms, and residences immersed in the nature of the south) and cooler shades that evoke central European atmospheres (ancient residences and cottages in central and northern Europe).
Unique in form and timeless charm, Lims interprets the beauty of stone as the fusion of the most famous and sought-after materials, from French stones (Hauteville) to Portuguese (Moleanos), Belgian (Blue de Vix), German (Jura), and Italian (Vicenza).
