Creative and Technological Design

Creativity and technological innovation mark the launches presented by the 250 exhibitors at EXPO REVESTIR 2014.

Check out some suggestions that feature creative design and lots of technology at the ARCHITECTURE AND CONSTRUCTION FASHION WEEK, which takes place from 12 to 14 March at the Transamerica Expo Center in São Paulo.

DECA: aesthetics that harmonize various styles

With an eye on an increasingly demanding public, DECA takes modern, high-performance products to its space at EXPO REVESTIR. These are the finishes for metals in Gold, Red Gold, Gold Matte, Black Matte, Black Noir, and Stainless Steel.

The company also bets on the high ecological appeal and on the new technology, such as the laminar jet present in the metals and in the tableware, the 1/4 turn ceramic mechanism that guarantees a smooth actuation, besides the constant flow limiter that aims at conscious consumption; the use of the hidden siphon and the lateral fixation of the coupled box with Duo technology, which saves up to 60% of water in the Polo Louças line.

The combination of flat and rounded shapes; the harmonization with various project styles and the minimalist and contemporary design are other highlights of the products. And to complement this, the launching of the kitchen mixers brings a new design proposal for gourmet environments.

Another strong point of the brand is the new D.Coat technology, which comes with 6 exclusive finishes and are present in the Quadratta Black Matte line, a blend of technology and softness to the touch; the Wish Red Gold, with odour in its most contemporary interpretation; the Duna Clássica Black Matte line, with an aspect that values technology and the Duna Quadratta Red Gold, with brightness and sophistication.

SAINT-GOBAIN: Whole-house glazing and LED flooring

Saint-Gobain Glass will take its best-known products to the 12th edition of EXPO REVESTIR and will launch SGG QUADRIGLASS®, a modern glass inspired by major European trends. Its aesthetics displays four small squares, symmetrically arranged in a soft and delicate texture in the background. The product is available in 7/8 mm thickness and 2.20 x 1.90m.

Another novelty is SGG SATINOVO®, made with extra-clear mass and a very smooth texture, the glass creates a sensation of comfort and elegance in the room, allowing the passage of light, while protecting the privacy of the environment.

GROHE: diversity and coordinated design

Grandera is the new star among the current GROHE bathroom product collections and combines modern design with timeless aesthetics.

The line also evokes a sense of nostalgia, but is directly linked to design and technology, due to the varied shapes and the thermostat, which offers reliable protection against hot water burns, for example.

The company's novelties are completed with the SPA_F and Minta Touch lines, as well as other accessories such as taps, showers and mixers.

ALICANTE: natural stones in the limelight

ALICANTE presents the launches of the brands Thesize and Technistone at EXPO REVESTIR. The highlight is the Trend collection, composed of four materials, the Travertine Black and Silver and the Bronze Amani and Sofia Striato marbles, which are in tune with architecture and decoration. On the floor of the stand, the Crema Moca in the Mont Dore version, from the Cosmopolitan Collection, will stand out.

In the space reserved for Thesize, with the Neolith Porcelain Slates, the highlight will be the Classtone collection with the recently launched at the fairs in Europe and EVA, with the Statuário items and the elegant Marfil. The Technistone brand resorts to high technology in quartz surface. The launches are also present in the Harmonia collection, sold in 5 different items: Cerros, Yosemite, Highlands, Velasco and Blanca.

PORTODESIGN: new, sophisticated and daring portfolio

PORTODESIGN has reorganised and increased its portfolio with innovative products for all audiences. The launches came after a thorough research of trends and behaviour developed by the company.

For the more sophisticated, the company presents the ceramics of the Portuguese Love, with the Wonder collection, in which the highlights are the exclusive products for the wall, with reliefs on white. To complement the collection, touches of shine were added to the gold and silver pieces.

The Art Deco line, a collection of metal mosaics, also by PORTODESIGN, features elements inspired by the architecture of the early 20th century. The glass mosaic line entitled Crystal features six fashionable colours that follow the most up-to-date trends on the international catwalks, such as military green, navy blue, candy yellow and natural orange.
