LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is a rating system for the development of “green” buildings. It is nowadays one of the most widespread environmental rating systems in the North-American building industry and is starting to be adopted throughout the rest of the world. The certification method rates a building on the basis of its compliance with various pre-requisites, like the type of materials and resources used. Summing up, in relation to the characteristics and production process in which they are manufactured (i.e: using a considerable percentage of recycled pre-consumer materials), ceramic tiles can contribute to a building, to obtaining LEED credits.

GRAFFITI FOR SMART CITY

Mosaico Digitale Graffiti For Smart City, is the result of an urban qualification project. The concept is to beautify cities through a Smart Wall composed by a technology of bioresin tiles.
This project starts with the idea of installing Smart Wall in the most important cities in the world creating a sort of international network and co-creating the greatest work of art globally. Smart Wall also, allows the City Administrator to connect with the residents, sharing information on Energy saving, Security and Democratic Services. Smart Wall for Smart Cities works using an App with a Software System that, trough the installation of a series of sensors called “beacon sensors”, allows the interaction with nearby smart phones.
The same principle can be applied also in the Hospitality environment, using the Smart Wall System for a fast check in and check out.

SPILINGA and BRUNICO

Elledue produced 4000 pieces of the Spilinga chair for the cruise ship company Holland America.

The chair was custom made for the client, that needed a stable and resistant product that could also be handy and easy to clean.

Elledue realized then a hole on the top part that could be used as a handle, in order to improve the grip and the practicality of the chair. The drilled armrests are raised  from the seating part, allowing an easier cleaning; they also make the structure lighter and give a better grip to move the product around.

Elledue produced 1600 pieces of the Brunico chair for the cruise ship company Holland America.

The request in this case was for a chair with simple lines and features, light but compfortable, suitable for a lunch room with many seats.

Elledue realized Brunico chair thinking about a not too much elaborate structure easy to be moved around, thanks to its wide armrests, with a well lined seating.

The fabric of the seatback is a recall of the 70ies, but the overall look results contemporary.

NEXTONE

hd expo hdexpo ic4hd

Lea Ceramiche presents at HD Expo 2018 the new collection Nextone.

This is a collection of traditional thickness which achieves an engineered stone effect.
Combining stones from four different quarries, whose characteristics are fused together, and adding original graphic designs, creates a stone which doesn’t exist in nature, but has a natural aesthetic quality and a very balanced effect.
A decorative style is present in the collection and is expressed in three contemporary textures: Line, Dot and Mark re-create lightweight effects that can be combined with natural and honed finishes of the base modules, to create flowing, coordinated environments.
