Piase, by Emilceramica
Emilceramica presents a major project, inspired by the elegance and amazing versatility of Piasentina stone, a secondary limestone generated by gravitational processes triggered by the tectonic movements of the Earth’s crust. Piase is a construction and covering collection inspired by the architecture of Italy’s Friuli and Giulia regions, with coloring that varies depending on the quarry location. The collection is available in five standard sizes and two brick options.

Tr3nd, by Ergon
The new collection by Ergon, Tr3nd, is a minimal series where the elegant look of concretes and natural wood meet the shine and tactile richness of majolica. Tr3nd is a very versatile project with the potential for extraordinary combinations thanks to an assortment of eight shades. Minimal, subtle patterns in the wood and concrete looks are coupled with the very distinct structure of the majolicas. Specific structures are used for each type in the collection to give the product a three-dimensional finish.

Osaka, by Gayafores
Inspired by Japanese minimalism, Gayafores presents Osaka, with soft pure and minimal lines that enhance the neutrality of cold tones, reducing them to the essential, stripping away excess elements to achieve a structural and functional purity. Osaka is stoneware in three tones — White, Grey and Charcoal — that provides decoration with a rectilinear elemental geometric relief in the shape of an anticline, which reminds us of the structures of Japanese houses. Synthesis, simplicity, order and pure and neutral colors are the main features of this product.

Art, by Natucer
In the aim of showing all the aesthetic possibilities that a wall or floor ceramic tile can offer, Natucer presents a new line of ceramic creation full of games, reliefs and volumes. The double thickness and the tri-dimensional effect are present in many collections that are becoming more and more popular in our markets. The kingdom of visual and tactile effect makes the difference between Natucer tiles and pressed flat tiles, especially in its new Art collection. Ceramics that evoke the movement of waves, these drop-shaped ceramics with different surfaces play with tri-dimensional effect.

Agatha Coeur and Mille Cuori, by Pamesa Cerámica and Agatha Ruiz de la Prada
Pamesa Cerámica and Agatha Ruiz de la Prada celebrate a two-decade working partnership with new groundbreaking collections. Vía Cuore and Vía Agatha merge the charm and personality of hydraulics with the joy and energy of Agatha’s color palette. This ode to color and geometric form in 22.3-x22.3-cm porcelain pieces will transform and enliven any setting. Agatha Coeur and Mille Cuori capture Agatha’s emblematic icons, transferring their volume to wall tiles. In this profusion of sensory expression through 25- x 25-cm hearts, ceramics embody dynamism and cheer.

Provoak, by Provenza
Oak wood and its compact vein patterns have supplied the basis for a strikingly natural, beautiful and varied collection. The different ways in which oak can be finished provide the inspiration for the style of the Provoak collection by Provenza. The distinctive finishes of oak and the intrinsic nature of ceramics not only deliver an outstandingly natural-looking product but also assure exceptional hardness and stability, for an even more durable material, ideal for any location. The collection is available in four sizes, and is resistant to weather and atmospheric agents.
