ABK Group ERA Porcelain stoneware wall/floor tiles

With the ERA collection, ABK opens a new chapter in its exploration of natural stone, this time focusing on the theme of agglomerates.‎ The name evokes the geological periods that forged these complex composite materials, an unpredictable yet fascinating succession of stratified layers.‎ The collection’s aesthetic is inspired by varieties of pebbled stone, such as Ceppi from Lombardy and Ambrosia slabs from northern Greece, and is structured around two distinct graphic styles.‎ By imagining the same block of stone cut both along and across the grain, the product research team has created two distinct but complementary interpretations of the same material.‎ Blooming refers to the more “flowery” version of the product, in which the inclusions are larger and more prominent, whereas Delicate has a more uniform and subtle texture.‎ These two complementary versions are designed to coexist and complete one another, reflecting the namesake goddess Era (Hera), the deity of marriage, and further emphasising the theme of union at the heart of ABK’s stylistic vision.‎ Fragments shaped by millennia of history emerge through balanced colour contrasts, capturing the authenticity of stone in four shades characterised by a rustic yet elegant appearance.‎ ERA also offers various surface options to suit diverse design requirements.‎ Delicate, with its slightly textured natural finish, is enhanced by the set of Groove pieces designed to recreate the sculptural effect of chiselled lines on the wall, while the Blooming pattern is available in both a natural micro-bush-hammered version and a lappato finish.‎ The latter provides an alternative to satin effects, recreating the tactile sensation of irregular, time-worn polishing.‎ Technical Details  Product type: Full-body porcelain Surfaces: Naturale, Lappato and Grip Thicknesses: 6 mm, 8.‎5 mm and 20 mm Blooming Naturale sizes: 120x280 cm, 120x120 cm, 60x120 cm Blooming Lappato sizes: 120x120 cm, 60x120 cm Delicate Naturale sizes: 120x280 cm, 120x120 cm, 60x120 cm, 80x80 cm, 60x60 cm, 30x60 cm Groove sizes: 60x120 cm, 15x120 cm, 5x120 cm, 20x120 cm Out.‎20 R11 sizes: 60x120, 60x60 cm Colours: Beige, Ivory, Ash, Taupe  Intended uses: Residential and commercial floors and walls.‎ Further info from manufacturer on ERA ABK Group
