POETRY STONE
Porcelain stoneware wall/floor tiles
Poetry Stone is an integral part of the POETRY HOUSE project, the creative material and surface design concept developed as a collaboration between ABK and Studio OTTO - Paola Navone. A kind of “stone box” created specially for use in architecture and interior design, Poetry Stone combines ABK’s technological expertise with the aesthetics of the renowned Milanese design firm.
Exploiting the unlimited potential offered by the world of stone, three visually appealing varieties with different textures and colours were selected for the Poetry Stone collection, all of which are open to experimentation in keeping with ABK’s stylistic vision. Piase is inspired by veined stone, Pirenei stands out for the presence of small pebbles and Trani recreates the calcareous inclusions of limestone. The collection comes in a total of seven colours in a palette dominated by neutral, contemporary tones.
Studio OTTO - Paola Navone used the stone effect to create handmade decorations with a slightly imperfect look featuring white brushstrokes or raku-style metallic designs. The vaguely tribal look of Traces, the sinuous and romantic appeal of Stamp and the artistic dripping effect of Lines – all in a 60x120 cm size – are complemented by the 60x60 cm and 120x120 cm Carpet decorations inspired by the iconic whitewashed surfaces typical of Paola Navone’s most famous designs. The decorative proposals also include Carving surfaces made with 3Dtech technology, which offer a minimalist interpretation of engraved stone, and the Metal wall decorations, featuring three different patterns of thick metal, to give the design a more vibrant and textured look.
In the Poetry Stone collection, ABK combines design with innovation thanks to Fullbody3D technology, an advanced raw material mixing technique that recreates the natural look of stone across the entire thickness of the tile.
