Luxury On The Architecture and Construction Fashion Week Catwalk

In its 11th edition, the Architecture and Construction Fashion Week will present the latest trends for the luxury market. In addition to exclusive patterns and textures, noble materials and unique design, among the novelties, which will be exhibited from 5 to 8 March 2013, at the Transamerica Expo Center, in São Paulo, are: sinks in noble stones such as onyx and jasper, high standard coatings and quartz surfaces for bathrooms and kitchens, and material of volcanic origin, extracted from quarries in Italy.

SOLACE: ONIX AND JASPE Sinks (TEAK WOOD)

SOLACE debuts at the fair exhibiting Onyx and Jasper vases. Originating especially in Iran and Pakistan, Onyx sinks come from stone formed from limestone or dolomite sediments in contact with hot water. The heat from volcanic activity causes the dissolved minerals to precipitate to the surface, forming the stone. Its nuances vary between red, green and orange.

Jasper vats, on the other hand, are born from the stone that is a semi-crystalline variety of opaque quartz aggregate, finely granulated, of various colours and very varied aspects, irregularly stained or with layers, whose most common colour is red. Also called stone-manchada - Jasper in Greek is found especially in Germany, Egypt, India and Pakistan.

FAP CERAMICHE: HIGH STANDARD FINISHES FOR BATHROOMS AND KITCHENS

FAP CERAMICHE will bring to the fair its high standard bathroom, kitchen and general flooring collections for all areas of the house.
