Mariposa is a three-dimensional ceramic wall covering designed by Elena Salmistraro for Bosa. Mariposa takes its name for the complex shapes and the dynamic movements of a butterfly’s wings. This tile embodies a timeless elegance that combines intricated forms and cultural homages in one single design. The object’s shape is an homage the famous tiles designed by Gio Ponti, that masterfully mixed empty and fuller spaces and overlaid rectangular and circle shapes. Its unique visual effect captures your eye and stimulates your imagination. Moreover, Mariposa’s tri dimensional décor adds width and character to any surface, by conveying a strong contemporary connotation. In addition, it reminds us of some element of Arabian architectures, evoking a sense of mystery and oriental charm.
Dornette decorative coating mix tradition and modernity, and are inspired by the infinite shapes of nature, with “biomimetic” results, in a unique cross-breeding between biology and technology. Made of fine ceramic, the elements are designed to give a classy look to residential and hospitality walls. Canyon and Cocoa are the first two projects in the collection, which create an unexpected three-dimensional effect.
