“Virtual Nature” is a new collection from Franco Pecchioli Ceramica, designed by Roberto Lazzeroni and will be displayed at the upcoming 2014 Salone del Mobile in Milan. This is not the first collaboration between the ceramics company and the designer, who have previously created “Gran Mogol” – a collection of abstract, three-dimensional ceramic coatings.
In contrast, “Virtial Nature” is a decorative collection which was inspired by the elements of nature and has been reinterpreted in a contemporary setting. The handpainted style of this collection is in keeping with the Pecchiloli company’s style and includes interpretations of fish, frogs, leaves and flowers to create ornamental motifs. Executed in gold and platinum, “Virtual Nature” is a visually stunning range.
I particularly love the dark moodiness and how the “threads” of gold or platinum work their way through each tile and, when applied as in this example, makes an absolutely stunning feature wall. This type of application is perfect for creating a very grown-up feel to a bathroom and adds that touch of luxury that always works well in a “retreat” style space.
