Cersaie 2026 - Hybla by Casalgrande Padana
Say hello to Hybla, a modern take on the age-old Pietra Pece, also known as Ragusa Stone.
A modern take on a stone with a rich history. Powerful and charismatic, it’s the essence of unique rural architecture. Embark on a mystical journey through Ragusa and its authentic stone culture. Explore the area from the Hyblaean uplands to the sea, with sheer rock faces modelled by the waves, rolling hills, centuries-old olive groves and magnificent carob trees. Used since ancient times for all kinds of artistic expression, from decoration to artworks and the architecture of churches and noble buildings, ‘pietrapici’ is more than just a construction material: it’s a hallmark element of late Sicilian Baroque.
The signature features of the Hybla collection are its random veining, raised three-dimensional effects and the subtle ripples on the surface, which recall the tactile quality and enchanting colour shifts of the original stone. In this perfect blend of aesthetics and technical performance, every detail is an element of the design, featuring a sublime interaction between patterns and textures. The beauty and charm of this collection redefine the very concept of elegance, striking a marvellous balance between style, function and sustainability, and making it the perfect choice for comfortable, inviting spaces in line with contemporary trends.
The new Casalgrande Padana collection comes in four colours (Beige, Nero, Tabacco and Tortora) in the sizes 120×120 cm, 60×120 cm, 40x120 cm, 30x120 cm, 20x120 cm, 60×60 cm and 30×60 cm, with a natural surface and a thickness of 9 mm. The range is completed with a series of decorative tiles, for elegant décor solutions with striking visual and tactile impact that form a seamless combo of porcelain, light, architecture and design.
Versatile, adaptable and with superb performance, the tiles in the new Hybla collection can be used in endless creative ways to tile floors, partitions, accent walls or statement features. They’re ideal for home spa bathrooms with tubs that appear to have been carved into stone, or for walk-in showers that place an individual spin on the setting.
From floors to walls, from architecture to interior décor, from residential buildings to more challenging design projects, the new porcelain stoneware collection opens the door to multiple combinations for all kinds of furnishing styles - modern, minimalist, metropolitan, urban chic, Nordic, cosy, boho or shabby chic - and brings a fresh, original touch to living spaces. Perfect for the contract and hospitality sector, Hybla is also a great choice for yachts and luxury boats.
Like all the Casalgrande Padana collections, Hybla is sustainable and kind to the environment. The tiles are non-absorbent, non-allergenic and fire resistant, and our Bios Antibacterial technology can be applied to them on request. In addition to the excellent bending strength, the collection stands up impressively to frost, wear and tear, and temperature fluctuations in any climate. The tiles are dimensionally stable, fade-resistant and have excellent mechanical resistance, and are easy both to lay and to clean.
