"The natural purity of Pietra Splendente is reflected in the contamination of history and modernity"

MIRROR FINISH
Italian artists and craftsmen have always been experts in the art of creating decorations covering the whole surface of tiles, using either real marble or materials given the look of marble with paint or opulent stucco work. Churches, monuments, villas and stately homes across Europe are embellished with these luxurious natural decorations, where the veining of marble is replicated in a two- or four-faced kaleidoscope. The research team at Ceramiche Coem has applied the firm’s superior technological know-how in its exploration of this very difficult but extremely fascinating subject.

This new collection re-proposes the everlasting strength and beauty of glossy marble in its Calacatta, Onice, Bardiglio, and Antique Brown versions and in the 60x60 - 24”x24”, 30x60 - 12”x24” and 30x30 - 12”x12” sizes but with a technological and contemporary look. The unique bright qualities of Pietra Splendente, due to the low index of refraction of its component materials, imparts a fantastically polished surface on this product, with veins and streaks conveying a unique “mirror” effect, while maintaining the same degree of variability as the natural material, but with potential aesthetic and technological qualities that only porcelain stoneware can guarantee. The Deep High Definition 3D system, designed by Ceramiche Coem to achieve these unique three-dimensional effects, is the result of a series of cutting-edge processes and technological developments that involve the entire production cycle. The decorations, starting with the extraordinary “reflections”, or open vein decorations, reveal the great value of Pietra Splendente.
