Ceramiche Piemme will be presenting new collections at Cersaie in Bologna from Monday 24th to Friday 28th September 2019. The first two, Stone Concept and Freedom, recreate the natural effects of stone for use in residential and contract environments. The tiles and slabs in the Shades collection, created by designer Gordon Guillaumier, reproduce brush strokes and veiled finishes, breathing life into floors and surfaces inspired by the beauty of art.
The effect sported by Stone Concept is that of the characteristic white Burgundy stone of the medieval courtyards along the Loire in France: a chalky sedimentary rock with diverse, soft veined effects. It comes in shades ranging from white to beige to grey. The Stone Concept tiles are ideal for creating matching indoor and outdoor environments but also enhancing walls with three-dimensional surfaces in residential, public and commercial areas. There are four sizes and two decorations, perfect for recreating ancient surfaces and layouts.
Using innovative digital decoration technology, the tiles of the Freedom collection recreates the natural effect of Hauteville stone, a material used worldwide due to its extraordinary compactness. Some examples of its use include the façade of the Empire State Building and even the plinth of the Statue of Liberty (which inspired the name of the collection). The impressive range of shades offered by this rock have inspired the researchers at Ceramiche Piemme, who will present it in 3 sizes and both lighter colours (from white to beige) and darker variations (from hazel to grey). The Freedom tiles can also be used both indoors and outdoors as wall and floor coverings.
For the Shadescollection, the designer Gordon Guillaumier drew his inspiration from the classic hand-decorated majolica. The tiles realistically replicate the delicate and imperfect mark left by the designer’s brush stroke; colours overlap to create unique shades that mix and match with the five basic cement effect tones. There are four types of decorations, each one available in five different nuances varying from dark to light blue, from white to gold to aviation blue: a true shifting of colours typical of the watercolour technique.
