Ceramiche Piemme will be presenting no less than four collections at Cersaie in Bologna from Monday 24 to Friday 28 September (Fiera Bologna, Pavilion 20, Stand C32-D31). The first two, Stone Concept and Freedom, recreate the natural effects of stone for use in residential and contract environments. Then, the tiles and slabs in the Shades collection, created by designer Gordon Guillaumier, reproduce brush strokes and veiled finishes, breathing life into floorings and surfaces inspired by the beauty of art. And last but not least is Majestic, the new entry in the 2018 Valentino by Ceramiche Piemme collection, which draws its inspiration from some of the most refined all-Italian marble.

The effect sported by Stone Concept is that of the characteristic white Burgundy stone of the medieval courtyards along the Loire in France: a chalky sedimentary rock with diverse, soft veined effects.
It comes in shades ranging from white to beige to grey. The Stone Concept tiles are ideal for creating matching indoor and outdoor environments but also enhancing walls with three-dimensional surfaces in residential, public and commercial areas. There are four sizes and 2 decorations, perfect for recreating ancient surfaces and layouts. 
 
Using innovative digital decoration technology, the tiles of the Freedom collection recreate the natural effect of Hauteville stone, a material used worldwide due to its extraordinary compactness. Some examples of its use include the façade of the Empire State Building and even the plinth of the Statue of Liberty (which inspired the name of the collection). The impressive range of shades offered by this rock have inspired the researchers at Ceramiche Piemme, who will present it in 3 sizes and both lighter colours (from white to beige) and darker variations (from hazel to grey). The Freedom tiles can also be used both indoors and outdoors as wall and floor coverings.

For the Shades collection, the designer Gordon Guillaumier drew his inspiration from the classic hand-decorated majolica. The tiles realistically replicate the delicate and imperfect mark left by the designer’s brush stroke; colours overlap to create unique shades that mix and match with the 5 basic cement effect tones.
There are 4 types of decorations, each one available in five different nuances varying from dark to light blue, from white to gold to aviation blue: a true shifting of colours typical of the watercolour technique.
Modernity and tradition also meet in the choice of sizes available: Ceramiche Piemme combines the modern 60X60cm or 60X120 cm slabs with decorated hexagonal tiles reminiscent of traditional ceiling tiles, and others in smaller sizes (20X20 cm) commonly used in the traditional majolica.

Majestic wascreated by the Valentino by Ceramiche Piemme research lab; it is inspired by some of the most refined varieties of marble, such as Carrara, Grigio Verona, Nero Levanto, Onyx, Nero Marquinia and Bianco Arabescato. There are 6 tones with more than 150 different graphics designed to simulate the diverse aspects of natural materials and create replicas of marble surfaces. The collection is completed by a selection of decorations and mosaics, which make it possible to coordinate the decors in all environments.
