September 24, 2022

Ceramiche Refin introduces Canal Grande, a collection inspired by the most glamorous soul of Venice and the famous city’s nautical culture. Canal Grande pays homage to the magical atmosphere of the lagoon with a clear prominence of mahogany, the materials traditionally used to build boats, luxury motorboats and the famous Venetian taxis.The collection is the result of multilevel research to discover the craftsmanship excellence of the nautical sector carried out by Refin’s tile designers, who then deepened the research in the field in collaboration with a historic shipyard in Venice. After careful observation of the mahogany boards, the product was developed, and it shows the peculiarities of the inspiring material on ceramic slabs with targeted and intense appearance. Its gentle vintage accent recalls a period that marked Italian culture in design, fashion and art and became a symbolic moment of a worldly lifestyle, which decreed the rebirth of Italy after World War II. Even at first glance, Canal Grande takes one back to the most luxurious and sophisticated environments of the jet set.

The graphics are characterized by parallel but uneven lines, which create a blurred effect and give a distinct depth that is particularly accentuated in the glossy finish. Canal Grande is offered in three color variants — Rubino, Noce and Moro,the shades specially chosen to fuel the imagination linked to vintage boats.The three colors are available in two formats, 75 by 150 and 25 by 150, and in two soft and glossy finishes. Canal Grande, like all Refin stoneware, is robust and long-lasting, hygienic, hypoallergenic, antibacterial and easy to clean. It is also fireproof, safe and eco-sustainable because it is made from natural raw materials and is 100% recyclable.
