The result of a collaboration between the designer Marco Piva and Casalgrande Padana, Shades is a sophisticated decorative process that takes inspiration from “material design” and applies this to ceramics, enhancing the Black, Grey and Tobacco colours of the Resina collection.

The expansion of this university campus presents itself as a complex architectural organism from which the unusual ellipse-shaped volume of the auditorium and its envelope entirely clad with bespoke three-dimensional ceramic tiles stand out. An unconventional application with a strong character where the diamond-shaped porcelain stoneware modules that cover the “cocoon” ...

Sapphire is a multi-storey building characterised by a particularly complex shape which seems to deft the entire Cartesian coordinate system and the laws of gravity themselves, in true Libeskind fashion. Like a sapphire, the building is a sturdy, multi-sided thing, gleaming as it emerges from the cityscape. The colour of the ceramic covering even evokes the azure blue t...

This residential complex is an integral part of an important urban redevelopment intervention. It stands out for its original volumetric solution of the façade, where ceramics beautifully blends with other materials (wood, plaster, fibre cement) through its colour scheme and surface finishes, which highlight and split the morphology and articulation of the blocks. The dy...

Designed with particular care taken not only in the creation of the pool itself, but also in the design of the service spaces, the project shines a light on the many potential uses of ceramics, which take up a role of primary importance in dictating the overall quality of the project, from both a functional and compositional perspective. The original graphic-decorative d...

With great attention invested in planning the volumes and the locations of the doors and windows, the building is characterised by its mono-chrome cladding in porcelain stoneware tiles of differing sizes, which are laid here using the ventilated curtain wall technique. Designed as a monolith extending up from the earth, the complex employs a contemporary compositional st...

This architectural restructuring project has the clear aim of redefining the pre-existing volumes while injecting a contemporary feel. Inside, the ceramic flooring backs up this approach, becoming the driving force behind the project as it articulates and dictates the layout of the spaces. Colour interacts with the walls and ceilings, emphasising the differing purposes o...

The building is characterised by the liveliness and dynamism of the internal volumes, something offset by the sober, silent presence of the ceramics chosen to clad the horizontal surfaces across all levels. Interrupted only by carefully placed white inserts, the monochrome flooring extends coherently and in constant dialogue with the dynamic design of the false ceiling, ...

An excellent structural restoration project on a significant modern work, completed using contemporary materials and cutting-edge application techniques in order to effectively recreate the constitutive elements of the original architecture. Used for the church flooring, the porcelain stoneware tiles – which are carefully selected and expertly adapted to suit the existin...

A sophisticated restructuring project of an old covered market, where the existing structure is enhanced by the ceramic flooring. This gives the original tiling a contemporary feel via the almost surgical use of small-format components. The graphic pattern and colour combinations have been meticulously selected, with the layout creating a web of connections between ...

The architectural and technological quality, paired with the scale and importance of the works presented by the 5+1AA studio, are testament to the depth of the collaboration launched by the designers and company to devise and develop innovative solutions packed with content. This journey of research and experimentation starts from the consolidated relationship between th...

This project expertly interprets the concept of the home with a pitched roof – in accordance with building regulations – with a markedly contemporary approach. There is an unusual, experimental solution adopted for the ceramic cladding, which entirely covers each vertical and inclined surface to create a monolithic, mono-material and monochrome architectural style – one ...

Designed with particular care taken not only in the creation of the pool itself, but also in the design of the service spaces, the project shines a light on the many potential uses of ceramics, which take up a role of primary importance in dictating the overall quality of the project, from both a functional and compositional perspective.

Installed near to the Casalgrande Padana production facility on two roundabouts situated on the Pedemontana route linking Casalgrande and Sassuolo, the two installations make up a monumental structure of notable architectural merit and symbolic value, creating a sort of “East Access Door” to the Emilian ceramics district. Once again, the project was entrusted to one o...

Coloured throughout in the same shades as the surface, these slabs stand out for a unique metallic effect in the finishing layer, where the shine, texture and colours make it look exactly like a metal sheet. A modern decorative effect, firmly targeted to contemporary living areas or contract projects, where the combination of the surface texture with a glossy finish off...

Made with cutting-edge digital technology applied to stoneware, the new Marmoker range takes the usual materials and adds the shades, veins, transparency, texture, shine and precious colours of marble, while the performance standards are even better than those of the real thing. The result of in-depth research into design, materials and formal features aiming to achiev...
