The “ Il Crogiolo ” series of booklets documents the brand ’ s history and 112 projects involving new applications and decorative techniques , with illustrations , original sketches , photographs and comments by their designers and ceramicists which are still a source of inspiration for the company ’ s product development today .
This spirit is the inspiration for the new Crogiolo collections , a perfect combination of the love for craftsmanship and authentic ceramics and the continuous research and innovation that have distinguished Marazzi for over eighty years .
LUME
The Lume collection , which reinterprets the beauty of handmade majolica brick tiles in stoneware , has been expanded with four new colours : Bone , Caramel , Emerald and Ocean . These colours combine with the innovative design of the two new 3D structures , Rake and Swing , inspired by the fashion for tiles with a ribbed surface . Available both in these new colours and the six colours already in the range - White , Blue , Green , Greige , Off White and Turquoise - these structures add depth and dynamism to their densely glazed surfaces , extremely glossy and intentionally imperfect , designed to be experienced not only visually , but also by touch . Rake , characterized by a 3D surface that recalls the grooves of grosgrain patterning , features Lume ’ s characteristic dense , imperfect graphics in the relief sections , surrounded by a lighter tone that creates a refined contrast and strongly three-dimensional effect . Swing is a softer variant of the grosgrain pattern , in which the wavy , harmonious structure recreates the effect of bamboo . Each element of the collection has chromatic tones of different intensities , made even more vibrant by the surface irregularities . The 6x24 size , with its straight edges that enable almost seamless installation , gives the project a decidedly contemporary character . www . refurbandrestore . co . uk - 79
