Savane ancient history and technology in the 2026 launch of Rock Face Matera porcelain tiles: Design with Soul and History

Savane, a benchmark in innovation and design in porcelain tiles, presents its latest launch: Rock Face Matera porcelain tiles. Inspired by the city of Matera in southern Italy—one of the oldest places in the world—the product captures the essence of rock architecture and the ancestry of the famous Sassi di Matera.

A UNESCO World Heritage Site and the setting for epic film productions, Matera is known for its ancient dwellings carved directly into the limestone rock. It is this visceral connection between raw nature and human intervention that Savane to contemporary projects. Rock Face Matera is not just a tile; it is a visual narrative.

With a texture reminiscent of carved stone and tones that evoke the limestone of the Basilicata region, the product reproduces the aesthetics of the churches and complexes of stacked houses that form the unique urban landscape of the Italian city.
