LEA CERAMICHE

Carlos Rosario International PCS cooking school, Washington DC

In the luminous common areas of the Carlos Rosario International PCS cooking school visually interact with the exterior. Here Lea Ceramiche‘s ultra-thin slabs of laminated porcelain clad the entire surface area. The effect is echoing the exterior cladding which also made use of large slabs applied on a thermal insulation system.

The building was inaugurated in November 2013 in Washington DC. It contains a resource centre, offices, English and computer science classrooms, four culinary laboratories with kitchens, and a large caffetteria.

Contemporary Collection

Space to the color with the Contemporary Collection wood floorings by Stile.

The use of innovative alkaline-based products and the combination with fine pigments create a unique and three-dimensional texture. This highlights both the sinuosity of the grains and the material character of the natural product. Entirely made of Oak wood, it’s available in four sizes: 120-140-180-240 mm wide.

ATLAS CONCORDE

The Wit Hotel Chicago

At The Wit Hotel Chicago, large surfaces are covered using the Fibra collection by Atlas Concorde in Snow and Black colors. A choice that adds character to the entire project. Atlas Concorde ceramic surfaces also dress the wellness area, where the Fibra series is used on floor and walls in Canvas colour. Warm and welcoming at the same time, the Fibra collection exalts spaces thanks to fresh installation patterns playing with the contrast between large and small sizes.

As enthralling as Chicago itself, The Wit hotel is one of the most “happening” hotels of the moment. It looks out from one of the most famous streets in the city, so it rings a new lease of life to it and offers to guests countless entertainment and business opportunities. Huge windows looking out onto the city light up the entire building with natural light.

MOSAICO DIGITALE

Pebble Collection

Mac Stopa‘s Pebble Collection for Mosaico Digitale is a wall tile with a tessellating star shape. The tile is made from smaller pebble-shaped forms in resin. Using a special design geometry, Mac creates a stunning organic mosaic effect achieved without any recognizable divisions between the tiles.

Thanks to the new resin technology the tile is strong but light-weight, durable yet flexible, and gives the possibility to replicate any photographic image on the tile, including graphic designs.

By changing the color of the tiles and the color of the grouting between the tiles. As a result, different graphic expressions on the finished surface may be achieved.

The tiles are available in a variety of colors, including solid and mirrored, are eco-friendly and 100% water proof. A perfect solution for wall tiles in the bathroom as well as for swimming pools.

One of many tile patterns that Mac designed for the collection, the Trulli pattern, exhibited during NeoCon 2015 in Chicago and winner of a Best of NeoCon Gold Award. Trulli is inspired by ancient trulli architecture, a tipical construction of the Puglia region in Italy. The Trulli symbols digitized in a 3D wave pattern with the colors of sea anemone give the pattern a distinct Mediterranean vibe.

LITHOS DESIGN

Golden Mile wellness center in Moscow, Russia

In projecting the Golden Mile, a temple of wellness in Moscow, Studio D73 studied the best elements for each space.

In the wet area the marine textures of the “Le Pietre Incise” collection by Lithos Design. For the setting of the swimming pool, a feature wall decorated with “Lembo” provides the backdrop to the logo sign, enhancing the effect of sophisticated elegance. The whirlpool baths are also embellished by feature walls engraved in the “Seta” texture and lit to emphasise their light folds and refined chiaroscuro effects.
