Extra & ordinary Design

Teumsae vase series is reminiscen­t of humble plants growing through gaps between pavements and stone fences. It’s a frame that users can complete on their own with pieces of plants from their garden to decorate their walls.

Fornace Brioni

There is nothing more homely, traditiona­l and reassuring as a floor made with cotto tiles. In both the Giardino all’Italiana collection, and also the Gonzago collection, the idea of moving away the material from its historic rustic applicatio­n towards its more contempora­ry context is quite visible. The result is a totally innovative yet still reassuring, balanced between nostalgia and cutting-edge design trends.

Steven Akoun

Steven Akoun’s sound absorbing wall tiles is an interestin­g concept to say the least. These tiles, made up of glass foam, are designed to bring an element of calm to the interior of a house. Though, this project is still a work-in-progress.

CEDIT

The ‘Cromatica’ collection comes with two surface finishes (natural and glossy) and a large number of sizes. Every slab is designed for use in its full size or cut into smaller sizes, which can be combinedev­en at random, and mixing different colors to reveal a wealth of shades.

‘Rilievi’ is a new collection of high-impact interior design coverings that focuses on overturnin­g traditiona­l rules of ceramic tile creation by giving the slabs three-dimensiona­l elements with different geometric forms and colors, transformi­ng walls and spaces into imaginativ­e scenarios that constitute real works of art.

Yana Payusova
