Antique Lux is a new generation of marble-look porcelain. Gazzini always has a special approach with their marble looks and, with this line, they are taking advantage of exciting new technology to achieve a final product that truly looks and feels like real marble. The glazes are applied in a way that perfectly follows the surface structure, creating veins that you can feel as well as see. The special finish is made the same way as fully polished material, with polishing wheels that rub the surface, but without going as deep as with full polishing, creating an elegant satin finish. The finish also has technical advantages such as better resistance to scratching and no risk of microporosities. By the innovative combination of these two techniques, we have a marble look that is extremely natural to the touch as well as stunningly beautiful. The line comes in 6 colors that are familiar yet unique. Gazzini was inspired by real marble, and then they finessed the graphics and colors to make them even more attractive to market demands.
Atelier is a line with a classic soul redesigned for modern tastes. It has the look of limestone that is artfully fashioned to straddle the line between rustic and modern. Gazzini was inspired by the popular Tala limestone, and then they mixed in some subtle travertine graphics to add extra depth to the neutral palette. The edges are slightly chiseled, yet they are also rectified allowing for tighter grout joints. The surface structure has some texture without being overdone. The 16x16 size offers a square size sets the line apart by being something different, while at the same time it’s completely logical and appropriate for the look of the tile. This is a line with timeless, natural charm that will appeal to diverse tastes.
It is not easy to emulate the true, deep black of the popular Nero Marquinia marble from Spain but Gazzini rose to the challenge with their Marquinia series. Using the purest raw materials in their colored-body porcelain clay, they were able to obtain a genuine black color. By adding the marble’s distinctive white veins, this porcelain is recognizable as a superior interpretation of a classic and dramatic choice. It is suitable for residential applications.
Platform is a metallic look that was inspired by aged metal plates. The graphic includes oxidation marks and calcium deposits that would appear on metal cladding over time as it was exposed to the elements. The surface has some texture, with matte areas enhanced by puddles of sheen. The really eye-catching feature of this line is the rich color palette. Each color has a mixture of hues, including both cool and warm tones, that combine to create a final look that is appealing and accessible while also being modern.
In Tinte Unite, Gazzini presents a simple concept, a line of solid colors, with their visual eye for detail. The surface is not completely flat, and the three colors are carefully studied to be the best possible versions of a pure white, a deep black and a soft, warm light grey. With a rectified 12 x 24 and 12 x 12, and a non-rectified 8-1/2” Hexagon, the line provides many options for combinations and patterns. We added a 2 x 2 mosaic in all three olors, plus two options in a 2 x 2 checkerboard mosaic.
Koala takes its inspiration from the finest forms of Australian Eucalyptus wood, while offering all the technical advantages of rectified porcelain planks. The look is characterized by a delicate woodgrain with no knots and by rich variation as the striations move from dark to light and back again.
Koshi is a full-body porcelain that offers a modern, fresh look. With an eight-color palette, Koshi an ideal choice for commercial or residential applications.
With Kuni, Imola has painstakingly recreated wood planks that have been worn over time. The realistic surface structure and natural color palette create a warm and inviting wood look.
Re-Micron is a highly technical product that is suitable for the most demanding commercial projects but with a subtle, contemporary look that makes it appealing for upscale residential use as well. Clays with different pigments are mixed together in the body of the tile to create colors that are animated by gentle surface movement. The colors of the series – with shades from pale to medium to dark in a palette that goes from warm to cool – are designed to coordinate with each other so they can be used together in creative ways. Different colors can also be used in different areas, creating style continuity throughout a project.
Neocim or “new cement” is a collection that recreates traditional encaustic cement tiles in porcelain. The designs are distinctive, yet classic and have a pristine white base color. They can be used as accents or even medallions, but look best when installed in entire areas. The result is the extraordinarily beautiful look of decorative cement tiles, but with all the advantages of porcelain – reduced thickness, ease of installation and maintenance, resistance to staining, and more – making this look accessible for many applications where cement tiles would not be suitable or practical.
Acuarela combines a gently undulating surface with exquisitely beautiful glazes. The opaque Cloud color takes advantage of the undulation adding a textural element that makes it stand out from other white wall tile. The translucent glazes of the other colors create movement on each piece and variation from piece to piece. The carefully designed structure allows the glazes to pool which creates movement and accentuates their beauty. The final look is like a handmade tile, yet the straight edges allow for a smaller grout joint and easier installation.
Lanka brings modern appeal with classic style to wall tile with their rectangular Bloc series. With two finishes — glossy and matte — and a broad color palette, infinite design options are possible. Different colors can be blended for a fresh feel. Additional texture can be created by mixing glossy and matte finishes in tandem, and the two building block sizes allow for interesting patterns. Here’s the opportunity to create a new twist on the “standard white“.
The softly undulated surface of Lanka’s Dune series mimics the rolling hills of sand on the beach. Structured wall tile at a competitive price, this series can be used in entire areas or as an accent with coordinating products.
The lines of “Ligne” create a wall tile that is both simple and complex. Different tones are blended together in a gentle linear pattern creating an elegant, sophisticated look. The color palette has soft and interesting neutrals with enriching highlights that make this a series that partners well with many different kinds of floor tile. The variation on each piece and from piece to piece create depth and enhance the final effect.
The Tuxedo is our classic subway tile line. It features White in two finishes, Glossy and Matte, and Black in a Satin finish that pairs equally well with both whites. In addition to the traditional 3x6 size, there are several other sizes to choose from in the flat finish, as well as a Beveled version in two sizes.
Windermere combines a gently undulated surface with exquisite glazes to create a final look that is opulent and full of depth. The 2 Whites - Glacier (Glossy) and Chalk (Matte) - are opaque and allow the surface structure to take center stage, creating a look that is more interesting than a flat white tile. The other 6 colors have translucent glazes that create variation as they pool on the surface and vary in shade from piece to piece. In addition to the 3x9 size, there is the Diamondback Mosaic made from oblong hexagonal pieces with a three dimensional surface; each piece has an off-centered point that creates lines and shading as the translucent glazes pool on the surface. The pieces are then mounted randomly to create the distinctive Diamondback pattern. They make a stunning accent but are even more exciting if used in entire areas..
Overcome is a terrazzo-look that surpasses the typical limits of that description. It’s appealing as a terrazzo option, and also for its own unique aesthetic. The colors have terrazzo chips in different sizes and even include some contrasting colors to add depth and complexity. The chips are made using porcelain clay with different pigments instead of glaze, making this a truly technical product that is suitable for residential and commercial projects, including high-traffic commercial applications.
The Antica collection features three classic marbles in white and grey with an antiqued finish. The result is a marble-look that has been aged over time, including scratches and imperfections. It is modern interpretation of a truly classic look, with a sophisticated color palette and some special mosaics that complete the package.
Arkistyle Terrazzo is an eye-catching contemporary reinterpretation of terrazzo, distinguished by the presence of multicolored flakes, creating a sophisticated contrasting effect. By reworking the terrazzo concept in this way, Arkistyle offers a successful synthesis of natural charm in a decorative aspect. The two color options coordinate well with the Arkistyle Limestone palette and with many other tiles.
The Arkistyle Limestone is a refined limestone look featured by the inclusion of marine fossils. Some of the fossils are hinted at and blend with the background color and others are more visible. With the classic 12 x 24 size and the 8-1/2” Hexagon, the Arkistyle offers options that lend themselves to original installations and customized spaces. The color palette is carefully designed to calibrate the tones and soft graphic effect allowing for colors to be combined together and used with other collections.
Arkiquartz offers a technologically advanced interpretation of the natural quartzite of Mediterreanean origin, the Kavala Stone. The origin stone is characterized by a pronounced 3-D surface with fissures and natural abrasions which add to the aesthetic. In their porcelain interpretation, Marca Corona has delivered the visual impact of that rough appearance, but with a surface texture that is surprisingly soft to the touch.
Offering the impeccable technical performance of a full-body porcelain, combined with the high quality product that one expects from Marca Corona, Deluxe delivers two sought-after stone replicas. Suitable for residential & commercial applications.
Marca Corona reached into their own historical archives to design Maiolica, a series that is reminiscent of the artisanal pottery they made when the company was founded in 1741. Maiolica uses the classic white and cobalt blue color combination, presenting them in patterns that range from geometrics to simplified florals. The result is a 4x4 porcelain with traditional roots that is also appealing to contemporary taste. The two solid colors and six patterns can be used individually or mixed to create an eclectic modern effect.
Marca Corona is expanding their impressive collection of marble looks with three stunning new marbles in the Foyer Royal series. The Cozy color is a warm, creamy sandstone look (the Turkish Marmo Mediterraneo), Delicate is a classic white marble (Italian Cremo Delicato) and Chic is a soft grey (the French Gris de Savoie) that is perfectly on-trend.
Multiforme is a collection inspired by the world of resins and cements. Its name refers to the versatility of this look as it can serve many purposes in a customer’s design. The four colors - white, light grey, soft blue and sage green - gently create a calming effect. The subtle variation and soft color palette make this an ideal choice for walls or floors, and allow it to coordinate with virtually any other tile.
Motif reproduces all the special features of the classic Calacatta Gold marble of Italian tradition. The vein, color, tactile sensation and visual impact all reflect the beauty of this noble stone with it’s bright white background and warm veining. With the Natural (honed) and Polished finishes, and multiple sizes and mosaics, Motif offers a full range of options within this one color series.
The aesthetic of Stonecloud is simple without being plain. Inspired by volcanic lava, the graphic has subtle shading and small mineral spots. The result is something that has depth and interest without adhering to an identifiable pattern. The color palette includes attractive neutrals, a clean white, and a rich, deep blue. All five colors are stocked in two finishes, Natural and Embossed, each enlivened with important details. The Natural finish is not completely flat and has matte and shiny areas that reflect the light in different ways. The Embossed finish has a delicately raised linear structure that has a pleasant worn effect, creating a structured porcelain that is still easy to clean.
