May 20, 2021

Fiandre, part of the Iris Ceramica Group, launches Il Veneziano, a through-body terrazzo-style porcelain, plus new polished Italian marble looks in the Maximum Marmi range, the brand’s premium Italian porcelain selection of large format panels: Marbre de Savoie, Deep Emperador, Ethereal Travertino and Finest Estremoz. Ariostea’s Marmi Classici collection of marble effect porcelain floor and wallcoverings features new polished colors: Crystal Dark, Crystal Grey and Crystal Sky, also available in large format.

Debuting for the first time in the U.S., these new high-tech architectural surfaces include the latest in Fiandre’s advanced technology and manufacturing capabilities and years of continuous research. Following in the footsteps of this quintessential terrazzo trend, Il Veneziano echoes the magnificent traditions of age-old, artisan craftsmanship. In full-body ceramics, classical terrazzo tiles deliver tremendous architectural impact. Each surface is a technical-aesthetic fusion of romanticism and innovation, classic sophistication and avant-garde. Introduced into contemporary projects, Il Veneziano is a luxurious tribute to the 15th century palaces overlooking the Venetian Lagoon.

Il Veneziano full-body porcelain tiles retain their aesthetic and physical qualities: effortless manufacturing, twofold natural or polished finish, five sizes in six colors and 10mm thickness. Opening up a future of multi-level projects and unprecedented creative design, Il Veneziano also offers designers freedom to customize colors and sizes. Designers may select background tone, color flecks and format size providing a sophisticated, successful medium for artistic expression.

Historical inspiration for Marbre de Savoie stems from Roman times when by order of Emperor Augustus, marble was extracted to construct the consular road connecting the Po valley to Gaul. Marbre de Savoie features a distinctive gray background with almost blue-like shading and white and pale gray veining. It is available in semi-polished and polished finishes.

Inspired by one of the stones traditionally used in colonial buildings throughout the Iberian Peninsula, Deep Emperador pays tribute to Spain’s best-known marble, characterized by its wonderful dark brown, occasionally black color with warm hazelnut, cream or caramel veining. Its gold undertones and iridescent reflections create an exquisite, exclusive ambiance.

Ethereal Travertino is inspired by sedimentary rock and features a pale ivory/milky white background with softer veining than classic travertine. In particular, Ethereal Travertino’s polished finish accentuates the soft cloudy surface appearance.

Inspired by the famous Portuguese stone, Finest Estremoz features a subtle pinkish-cream color background with gray-white shading. Sophisticated Finest Estremoz gives any ambiance a delicate elegance, without dominating the overall design. The stunningly glossy, polished finish brightens any room.

The new crystal onyx look colors— Crystal Dark, Crystal Grey and Crystal Sky —in Ariostea’s Marmi Classici collection bring to life some of the finest and most sought-after natural marbles, creating a timeless style that reflects contemporary design with incomparable elegance and harmony.The polished finish brings out the unique and dynamic grain, while the striking gleam of materials enhances the surfaces’ prestige and natural beauty.
