Pierre Charpin has chosen the name "Fragments" for the Ceramiche Piemme collection, paying tribute to the painstaking task of gathering and composing references to his artistic work, elements of the history of the company from Fiorano Modenese, inspirations and trends linked to his vision of space and surfaces. A world of signs and hints summarised in two extremely iconic decorations - Form and Oblong.

“I wanted something that was not static, that could represent movement" explains Pierre Charpin "The decorations are abstract in the sense that the forms evoke themselves. It is the combination of these that creates a pictorial effect, even if the colours have been chosen from the palette of greys rather than from brighter shades, as perhaps one would have expected of me”.

Fragments is also a reference to the breakdown and reconstruction of several materials in the design for the same surfaces: the shiny, continuous effect of resin, the playful effects of the forms in stone, the use of maiolica on the walls.
The basic concept is the idea of generating harmony, starting from diversity. 
In this way, floors and walls can be “dressed” in an outfit combining shiny and matte surfaces; monochrome and decorated designs; a resin effect with stone, creating insertions and movements in the space.

The result is a particularly elegant and eclectic collection, just like its designer, capable of passing from art to design, from the partnership with Hermès to that with Alessi and from the porcelain of Sèvres to the tiles of Ceramiche Piemme. 

Fragments by Pierre Charpin is available in 4 natural shades: from the lightest colour Milk to the darkest one Charcoal (dark grey), and with the grey Cloud shade and the warmer Tan tone in between, in both the Form and Oblong decorations and also in the mono-chrome resin effect (Resin) and wood effect (Wood) surfaces.  
For wall coverings with tiles that recreate the Maiolica effect, another two shades are available: Fern and Ocean.
There are three 3-dimensional finishes - Dune, Paint and Hatch- which add bold textures to the collection.
