CERAMICHE KEOPE
LAVICA ANTHRACITE
Porcelain stoneware wall/floor tiles with stone effect
In the heart of Sicily, a crossroads of myths and legends, stands Mount Etna, a majestic and mighty volcano that has watched over the locals for millennia, repository of ancient secrets and stories passed down from generation to generation. It is from this magical place, steeped in fascination and mystery, that Ceramiche Keope's Lavica collection takes shape, a hymn to the majesty and indomitable force of nature.
A porcelain stoneware series capable of encapsulating the most authentic soul of Sicilian lava stone. Every single piece is a tribute to an ancient world: the surfaces, reminiscent of the textures of volcanic stones, are tangible evidence of the earth's extraordinary capacity to regenerate itself and inspire new stories to be told every day.
Lavica, through its seductive textures and tones, vigorously expresses the texture of lava stone, bringing a piece of that land of imperishable charm into contemporary homes and spaces. Ceramiche Keope, with skill and dedication, has paid homage to Sicily, through a collection that metaphorically presents itself as a bridge between past and present, and as the ideal synthesis between the power of nature and the innovation of modern design.
Graphics and structure engage in a dance that leads to a modern aesthetic, minimal on the backgrounds but with a fascinating proposal of decors. Three austere shades - Grey, Anthracite and Black - compose a colour palette that restores the depth of the lava stone, providing sophisticated reflections that enchant the eye.
Lavica's decorations also reflect the kaleidoscope of traditions, shapes and colours that characterise Sicily, a land of great beauty and strong contrasts. At the heart of the collection of decorative tiles lies craftsmanship, which manifests itself in four colour variants and as many graphic developments impressed on the surfaces, replicating the ancient third-firing technique. Each individual piece is a small work of art, ready to enrich projects and offer infinite possibilities for customising spaces.
The series is available in different formats, from 7.5x60 to the large 120x278 slab, capable of ensuring uniform and seamless coverage, for spaces with great aesthetic impact. The Brushed R10 has a slight textured effect to give the authenticity of the material of inspiration, while the Silky finish gives softness to the surface, making it extremely pleasant to the touch. For outdoor environments, the series offers the non-slip Structured R11 finish, guaranteeing safety and ease of maintenance.
In Lavica, the decorative power of volcanic stone is declined in a range of modern sensorial surfaces, which become the perfect stylistic expedient for creating exclusive and characterful environments in residential and contract settings.
