LUXURY HOMES
The unmistakable signs of tradition
The collection is characterised by its exquisitely textured surfaces , enriched by spatula marks , imperceptible waves and a careful chromatic stratification that evoke in a single moment the link with distant worlds , with the value of the best artistic heritages of Italian history . The sponge technique , in particular , transforms each slab into a surface steeped in craftsmanship , with a unique and unpredictable character . The sensation of being in front of a fresco is further reinforced by the presence of cracks and chemical reactions dotting the surfaces , but also by the scrupulous choice of colours - Calce , Ocra , Ombra , Lapis and Terra -, all shades that clearly recall the colours of the wall art , together with their typical heritage and dusty appearance .
Every detail of Affrescati , studied with the utmost care , is able to tell a story in itself , like an authentic fresco . The collection is also enriched by the Giotto decoration , especially designed for walls and floors , with its monochromatic blue background inspired by the sky painted in the Scrovegni chapel .
The evocative power of the frescoes has been projected into modernity also thanks to the qualities of a material such as stoneware , capable of capturing all the value of the Italian artistic tradition and fixing it in a timeless moment . Thanks to stoneware , Affrescati is able to offer versatile and suggestive decorative surfaces , bringing the frescoes to the floor for the first time .
With the new collection by Ceramiche Refin , the fresco becomes the link between past and present , triggering new design surfaces and instilling authentic emotions in every context .
