The beauty of light reflections: Onici by Casalgrande Padana

The collection has been designed to satisfy a transversal demand for style, bring elegance and magic to all surfaces, and enhance contemporary and classic spaces. All this is possible thanks to sophisticated colour variations, the elegant use of ligh

As the name suggests, the inspiration behind the new range is onyx, a unique material whose DNA is steeped in the extraordinary appeal of precious stones and a magical aura deriving from its intense relationship with light. Onici is the latest collection by Casalgrande Padana, made from high-performance porcelain stoneware and available in the large Kontinua format, which is the perfect way to showcase the stunning colouration, delicate reflections, dynamic tones, and light and shade typically found in natural stone.

The collection celebrates excellence, tradition and an understated take on luxury based around quality materials and their aesthetic value, the dynamic relationship between flooring and coverings featuring Onici and the other architectural elements of a space, and the way these tiles interact with its furniture and accessories.

The range encompasses six different textures, all of which are inspired by the beauty of quartz, a natural material which forms the basis of onyx. The colours on offer take their lead from classic shades, but put a contemporary spin on these.

Avorio, Bianco and Ghiaccio are variations on the theme of white, but each has its own identity and features differently designed veining – this is more accentuated in some cases, barely perceptible in others. Miele is a warmer colour, while the material is allowed to show all its presence in the deep Grigio Striato shade, with Quarzo returning to that unmistakable broken glass effect. The glossy finish enhances the appearance of the surfaces, boosting their shine and creating a timelessly elegant feel, while the impressive properties of the porcelain stoneware provide strength and longevity while ensuring the colour remains unchanged. All of these characteristics are even more apparent in the Kontinua series of large, thin tiles, which help to incorporate the beauty of natural materials into manmade spaces.
