Living Ceramics CAVA Porcelain stoneware mosaic

The Cava Mosaico project is the natural extension of the Cava project, which, after being enriched with standard size tiles, is also completed with small formats of stoneware mosaic.‎ It basically consists of a single composition matrix that uses a triangular piece; this piece can be complete or cut at an angle with the same technology of water jet, already used previously.‎ By using these two simple elements within the same matrix, you get very different patterns from each other.‎ The empty spaces, once they are filled with the joint, give rise to the true decoration of the surface.‎ Once again, as in the main collection, the joints become design, in a positive / negative investment game.‎ What has always been considered as a defect becomes, in fact, the protagonist of the pavements and coatings, leaving the joint the task of decorating the surface.‎ Cava is the new stoneware tiles collection designed by the Italian studio LucidiPevere, it arises from a mix of formats, decorations engraved on the piece and a play with the color scheme.‎ «From a concrete surface which was in line with the own image of the Spanish firm, we have worked the right balance between functionality and expressivity, working with its slight irregular trend and taking particular attention to porosity for all purposes be a product easy to clean.‎ The cement was deliberate used in all its purity – a neutral surface – as blank paper to draw.‎ Unlike most collections of tile industry, Cava finds its strength in graphic patterns of incisions, instead of surface decoration.‎ The collection is composed of a wide range of sizes that can or cannot be recorded with the water jet technology.‎ Combining recorded and flat surfaces endless compositions are born.‎ It is not until the installation of the chosen color joint is completed, that the collection takes sense: real leaks and mixed engravings are confused resulting in the final decoration».‎ LP Further info from manufacturer on CAVA Living Ceramics
