POETRY WOOD
Porcelain stoneware wall/floor tiles
If design is poetry applied to space, an artistic interpretation of matter, it is hardly a surprise that Italian designers should be amongst the world’s most admired professionals. One of these is Paola Navone, renowned for her eclectic personality and free spirit and her willingness to embrace influences from different styles and cultures. A collaboration between ABK and Studio OTTO – Paola Navone has resulted in the POETRY WOOD collection, the first chapter in a broader project called POETRY HOUSE which will consist of a range of surfaces, materials and graphic designs inspired by her most iconic and representative works.
POETRY HOUSE is an ode to life, a collection of surfaces that encapsulates the designer's artistic experience and adapts it to other fields of application. The project underscores the value of the design process and reaffirms ABK's presence in the world of design.
POETRY WOOD reproduces the most natural sensations of wood and enhances the graphic contrasts of the timber grain. The collection is available in four colours, Gold, Ecru, Oak and Mud, each characterised by appealing shade variation effects, and in 3 different plank sizes: 20x120 cm, 30x120 cm and 26.5x180 cm. The typically handmade decorations are appealing and exclusive, with distinctive wood patterns reproduced with textured plaster or astonishing metallic effects.
