Better than a tree

Those who are in the age of modernization perfectly feels in the space of natural undispage of things, such as paired milk or linen shirt, will certainly appreciate the beauty of "wooden" ceramics. Pleasant to touch light roughness, natural palette, traditional parquet plank format or massive board make it indistinguishable from natural prototypes. However, do not forget that this reliability is the result of super technologies and robotic conveyors. It is they who turn the "wooden" cladding into a refractory, hygienic, which does not burn out in the sun, resistant to the effects of chemicals and the material almost unbounded at home.

Bending and volume

The basis of modern interiors, minimalism or style High-tech, often becoming purely monochrome solutions or a restrained color scheme. It is in such cases that the texture and relief of the tiles acquire a special meaning. Unexpected combs of waves and protrusions that destroy the surface of the planes, different format cutting, an endless-light pattern, the apparent convex, is all the favorite techniques of ceramic designers.

Opinion of a specialist

In modern Europe, Vintage style is incredibly popular - always emphasized with a special nostalgic mood. PERONDA factory, being in the forefront of fashion trends, together with the famous Spanish designer Francisco Segarr, has created an original stylized FS collection. Soft, muted color gamut, unusual vegetable and geometric ornaments, slightly "untreated" edges of tiles - this appeal to the sources of classical decorative concepts, which is perceived today as a sign of a good taste and an intellectual approach to design. With external "antique" elements of the collection are a high-tech product with high operational indicators. The size is 45x45 or 33x33cm - another advantage, as it facilitates the laying, and a very high-quality imitation of tiles 20x20 and 10x10cm makes this collection of universal, allowing it to be frozen both the floor and walls.

By the way, ceramics is capable not only to take almost any shape, it turns into active matter, such as, for example, a technological and incredibly decorative LightConcept tile (Apavisa). Wave-shaped or square, with bent edges elements of the collection are extremely expressive. Impression enhances the built-in backlight. The light, breaking through through the slits and the gap, creates the impression that the facing literally soars in the air. Of course, the surfaces of such complex forms require a little more care. Therefore, it is extremely useful. It seems the property of the tile from the Cleansystem collection (Inalco) to resist intense pollution or self-cleaning, like Lifeker porcelain stonework (Keraben). Its unique coating prevents the reproduction of bacteria due to the ability of the material with the help of photosynthesis split organic compounds - the main cause of the negative impact on ceramics.

World of tradition

Another fashionable line - variations on the theme of classics with an emphasis on national motifs. Asceticism of ancient Greece is manifested in graphic ornaments, black and white colors, which gives the interiors of the grace and conciseness. The plausible imitation of natural stone, lush ornaments are reminded of the art of Byzantium. Spanish manufacturers show interest in Russian culture and openly talk about our passion for luxury and brilliance: gold, stones, tricks of patterns. Palace style - evidence of respect for the Russian Empire. Vintage acquired a pronounced English accent. Elegance and easy primacy of ceramic collections give a tribute to the Victorian era.

In the unexpected perspective, floral motifs (realistic and fantasy, romantic), on coating, modified technologies, are manifested, - through a pearl, transparency, shine and flicker. Designers offer panels with infloresions giants. The experiment field can be a bathroom or a living room, where only one, accent, wall, and the remaining finishes in the neutral monochrome range will be given under the spectacular composition. The traditional love of Russians to the wallpaper supports ceramics with imitation texture of their surface, light mattness, with a floral and geometric pattern. Fashion is reborn on visual complication of interiors due to the use of catchy coatings in heterogeneous styles.

Opinion of a specialist

The line between modern porcelain stoneware and natural stone today is practically not noticeable. Often the difference between the tiles from the original natural sample is so minimal that only a professional eye is visible. The new collection of Quarzite porcers (Estima Ceramica), embodying the hardness inherent in natural quartzit, transfers roughness and chaotic drawing of natural material streaks with detailed accuracy. The highest level of graphics and its embodiment in the tile steel is possible due to the installation of the latest equipment, allowing to produce products according to the modern technology of Digital Print. Working on the principle of a traditional inkjet printer, it transmits the texture of the simulated material with an incredible degree of detail. Digital Print is a big step forward, expanding the traditional production framework and changing the idea of ​​ceramic granite as a whole.
