POETRY STONE RELOADED
Porcelain stoneware wall/floor tiles
Poetry Stone Reloaded, the latest instalment in the Poetry House collaboration between Paola Navone OTTO Studio and ABK, further broadens the exploration of stone in design projects. Many types of stone are closely associated with the regions from which they are sourced and where they have been used throughout history, making them an ideal canvas for the designer. Pursuing her eclectic vision, she utilises advanced technologies to transform ceramics into a sophisticated designer surface.
Poetry Stone Reloaded offers a journey through visual and tactile sensations, enhanced by a handmade appeal ideal for decorative solutions. Basaltina, a lava stone from central Italy that has been used in architecture throughout history, reveals its micro-porosity in the three colours Silver, Smoke and Dark while Jura, an alpine stone with a highly varied texture, is recreated in White, Sand and Ash. To complete the collection, the decorative designs by Paola Navone OTTO Studio powerfully reaffirm the aesthetic value of imperfection. Curve features a micro-pattern that evokes the texture of artisanal sculpture, while Batik introduces the bold, dynamic energy of shaded colour into the design. Wet mimics the organic shapes of water pools, breaking up the ceramic surface with ever-evolving and irregular geometries.
With its wide range of sizes, finishes and thicknesses, the collection is a comprehensive and versatile tool for tackling even the most complex projects in the residential, retail and contract sectors and is ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications. The collection is created using ABK’s innovative production technologies: FULLBODY3D, a technique that mixes raw materials of varying particle sizes to achieve an extraordinary continuity between the body and surface of the tile; P.TECH, which enhances the slip resistance of porcelain stoneware while maintaining a pleasant tactile sensation; and 3D Tech, which applies layers of different raw materials of various thicknesses in perfect alignment with the underlying graphics to create surfaces of exceptional sensory appeal.
