Man’s relationship with nature has always been connected with techniques and technologies consolidated over time. Over the years, the references remain linked to the idea of living in protected, cosy, warm and welcoming places which we can identify with; spaces which represent us, reflect those living there and where one can enjoy emotional well- being and feel safe. The careful selection of relevant “natural” materials led to the creation of this project which combines sophisticated materials like terracotta (Umami), Mediterranean stone (Bitter) and natural wood (Honey) in a single container: Crew.

The products used individually or in a colour or texture combination with one another seek out that unique aesthetic and emotional sensation with a strong evocative effect linked to a particularly warm, welcoming look & feel for a language that speaks for itself.

Three porcelain stoneware products which bring to mind the authentic flavour of traditional Mediterranean stone; a unique material with extraordinary charm that bears witness to how man has lived for thousands of years with magical, almost enchanted items. Imola best interprets this taste of calcareous rock with a smooth, opaque surface, while still being rough, made with elements placed on top. An aesthetic look with explosive charm, while still being warm, in the colours almond, beige and light grey. There are a variety of shapes, offering a full range of combination options for indoors – the 120×120, 60×120, 60×60 and 30×60 cm and the 90×90 cm, all with a 10 mm thickness – and outdoors, with 60×120 and 60×60 with a 10 mm thickness and the monolithic 90×90 cm with a 20 mm thickness.

Par excellence, Italy is the country linked to that treasured, preserved artisan know-how found in the ancient streets in small towns. It is in this context that the new, warm and reassuring proposal of Umami linked to tradition, takes shape. A terracotta-style ceramic with an ultra-matt surface, smooth and pleasant to the touch, available in three different shades (almond, beige and light grey). For a use that satisfies several design and aesthetic demands, Umami is produced in a variety of different sizes, 120×120, 60×120, 60×60 and 30×60 cm and 90×90 cm, all with a standard 10 mm thickness. The proposal is rounded off for the purpose of design continuity with products specifically for the outdoors in the sizes 120×120 and 60×60 with a 10 mm thickness and 60×60 cm with a 20 mm thickness.

A ceramic solution with natural-wood effect. A sweet elixir with a classic style, which goes well with the pleasantness of Umami terracotta and the apparently tarter taste of Bitter. A solution in the typical lamellar strip size 20×120 cm e 20×120 cm and in the segmented chevron version, on the 20×100 cm size, all with a 10 mm thickness. Three colours are available: beige, dark beige and hazelnut. For complete in&out solutions, Honey guarantees laying continuity even outside with the outdoor proposals in the 20×120 size with 10 mm thickness and the 30×120 cm with 20 mm thickness.
