Porcelain tiles: Urban and Cosmopolitan Collections

Exhibitors at the 14th EXPO REVESTIR are in tune with contemporary themes and present collections with concepts that aim to stimulate the senses through lightness, visual harmony and reproductions of textures to personalise the home.

In the porcelain tile lines, the trend is reproductions of surfaces that refer to the urban and can be used anywhere in the world, precisely because of the current nature of the chosen themes. See a preview of what will be presented at the ARCHITECTURE AND CONSTRUCTION FASHION WEEK, which takes place from 1 to 4 March, at the Transamérica Expo Center, in São Paulo.

Cecrisa: betting on metallic textures and carbon and paper fibres

Cecrisa presents collections that bring the most diverse textures and colours, ideal for tiling the home. The first of these is Rusty, a copper coloured porcelain tile with a satin finish, reminiscent of the metal plates used on ships. The result is a worn aspect, another trend of the moment, with a strong and contemporary reddish tone.

Another line is Carbon, which promises to leave spaces with a carbon fiber texture. In practice, the aim is to leave the surface with the look and texture of carbon filaments with a soft and pleasant touch, in a palette of dark grey, grey and white which, when highlighted by the incidence of light, create an exclusive volumetry.

The Paper collection offers the relief of paper fiber adapted to the porcelain tile surface in beige and white. There is the option of the recycled paper texture, which is evident on the surface of the porcelain tile and also proposes a soft touch.

Itagres: wood reproduction

With the Fossilizato Nude HD line, Itagres reproduces wood, with its colours and textures. By suffering the action of time and nature, wood transformed into stone rescues a historical value never before explored and combines perfectly with modern and stripped furniture, precisely to bring the linearity between past and present.

The collection is ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, bedrooms, facades, garages, residential rooms, saunas and terraces.

Via Rosa: Full HD printing on the Calacata Gold line

The idea of the Calacata Gold line, by Via Rosa, is to add the sophistication of Italian marble to the practicality of porcelain tiles. The concept of the collection is based on the inspiration of Italian marble and aims to unite the beauty and elegance of marble with the practicality and cost-effectiveness of porcelain tiles.

Another strong point is that Full HD digital printing allows tile to present a variation of designs on each piece, which is as close as possible to the nuances of the original stone. Available in 45 cm x 90 cm sizes, this porcelain tile is suitable for use on floors, walls and façades.
