LUXURY HOMES
For the creation of Affrescati , Ceramiche Refin has made an exciting journey into the beauty of Italian art , into the rich history of frescoes , immersing itself completely in the ancient techniques of mural painting to give life to an original surface with great character that can cover various types of surfaces , adapting perfectly to any context thanks to the versatility of stoneware .
Distant suggestions
The story of Affrescati starts so long ago , from powerful suggestions linked to the fascination of the frescoes of Pompeii , the colours of the Amalfi Cathedral and the starry vault of the Scrovegni Chapel . It is intimately connected to the impressions gathered during a deep immersion in the Italian tradition of wall decorations , performed above all to search for new ways of conceiving spaces . The result is a real fresco , created in the cutting-edge laboratory of Ceramiche Refin and transformed into an exclusive decorative ceramic surface , deeply textured and rich in colour contrasts . The reaction between the background lime and the pigments makes it possible to attenuate the chromatic tones and generate a range of different shades , with a slightly worn-out effect . The cultural heritage of Italian art and the historical value of craftsmanship , in the Affrescati collection , blend harmoniously into a fresco that gracefully fits into every context , bringing undisputed refinement and great aesthetic balance .
