Shadow Geometers.

Geometrie d’Ombra is a collection of hand-decorated Grès Maiolicato® tiles inspired by geometric shapes such as Circles, Stripes, Squares, Diagonal Lines and Triangles. It represents a combination of the handmade tradition of craftsmanship, the technological innovation of the large 24”x24” grès size and contemporary design, which gives to this ceramic for floorings and coatings an element of uniqueness and timeless aesthetic and artistic appeal.

The expert use of the hand-decorating technique creates a shadow effect that gives three-dimensionality to the geometric figures and accentuates them. By giving greater depth and volume, it creates a three-dimensional play of light and shadow that adds vitality to the ceramic surface as if it were a design element in constant motion. 

The shadow represents an unusual and intriguing interpretation of common decorative shapes making them more interesting and eye-catching. The use of 6 chiaroscuros, tone on tone Smoke White, Charcoal Black, Powder Pink, Copper Green, Niagara Blue and Ruby Red, accentuates the shadows that accompany the decorations. They immediately come to life and interact with each other, creating an three-dimensional effect that stimulates the perception and imagination of those observing the floor or wall covering.

In the eternal quest for a design that could be classic while in step with the times, capturing the heart of the tradition of hand-decorating by innovating it, the choice of drawing geometries such as circles, squares, triangles, diagonal lines and stripes, stems from the awareness that geometric figures are timeless decorative elements that give tiles an elegant, refined and sophisticated look, transforming our surfaces into a real piece of furniture.

The circle, with its flawless shape, represents balance and harmony, giving a sense of completeness to the living space. The square symbolizes stability and order, creating an effect of rigor and precision. The triangle, with its angular lines, adds a modern touch to the tiles, creating an interesting contrast between the shape and the background. The diagonal lines, with their movements and directions, introduce an element of vitality to the floor or wall tile. And the stripes, with their rigidity and elegance create a clean and ordered effect by accentuating perspectives in the room. 

The versatility and creativity of this majolica stoneware collection is not limited to the single geometric shape, but extends to the ability to combine decors with each other to create ever changing arrangements of shapes and designs. This ability offers the infinite opportunities for personalizing and enriching rooms with multiple creative and original solutions. Such feature gives the collection an innovative eclecticism and a touch of contemporary style that transforms the floor and wall into an ever-evolving design element.
