]]>We are surrounded and immersed in artificial intelligence and technology - at work and play, with home-life and work-life blurring together, there is a strong desire to reintroduce nature into our homes for balance.
The "down-to-earth" feel is key to the natural look, bringing warm textures of stone, wood, aged metals, concrete, glass, botanical and aquatic themes, uneven surfaces, worn and aged appearances. Together with fabrics, furnishings, hids, coral, plants, it never appears cold and sterile, but comfortable and welcoming.
Also expect to see large scale digital images of gemstones, sea creatures, plants and various natural themes covering entire walls, both in commercial and residential applications.
]]>We explore the link between some famous works of art and architecture that we see as inspiration for some of the colours and compositions in the bathware and tile industry.

Patterns and Textures have the ability to cross over all styles of design. From minimal self-patterning materials to adding another dimension to a riot of colour and patterns, creating a more relaxed commercial setting.

]]>Ceramiche Grazia was founded in 1970, and since the beginning has set itself apart from other ceramic tile manufacturers by promoting the artisanal side of production, as it did not want to lose its artistic principles to mass production.
This adherence to traditional principles applies to their production methods, most of which include double firing, still today's best method for producing wall tiles. A lot of emphasis has been put on seeing the glaze lines, which has resulted in a hand finished look, making Grazia's tiles unique amongst its industrial competitors. The same effort has been applied to the extruded biscuit, again to emphasize the individuality of its decors and trims, this can be seen in surfaces that look as if they have been cast by hand in clay moulds, as they used to be.
We have based our selection on versatility of crossing all style genres, from the Traditional, Art Nouveau, Art Deco and to Contemporary.
We look forward to assisting you with any enquiry.
