DESIGNER
Studio Arch.O organic architecture, Naples
YEAR
2018
Handled by the Studio Arch.O firm of architects in Naples, the project involved obtaining planning permission to change a private residential unit into a sophisticated eatery open to the public.
And the 6.5 mm-thick tiles measuring 160×320 cm were the solution chosen by Studio Arch.O, realising that these oversize porcelain stoneware tiles would become a key feature of the interior, giving its spaces elegance and a unique look. Infinito 2.0 was used in two main rooms at Habituè and also the toilets, in the Fior di Bosco version.
The same size was also chosen for the Res Art series in the Pottery line, which completed the supply of floor and wall tiles, lending the bathrooms a high-impact finish.

Villa Emy Boutique Bed&Breakfast
Nestled among palm trees and tamarisk shrubs, overlooking the sea in the Puglia town of Bisceglie, Villa Emy - a splendid Art Deco building from the 1930s - has re-emerged with a bold new identity. Following a series of refurbishments in the 1960s and its use as an events venue and cocktail bar until 2010, in 2023, architects Paolo Lettieri - founder of UPA Italia - and Pierluigi Pindinelli were assigned the restoration project which would turn the villa into an enchanting bed and breakfast.
The dialogue between heritage and modernity is balanced, with original vaults and wall partitions brought out through neutral tones and careful colour accents.

bakery & hotel (BED-BIKE-BREAD)
Located in the tourist village of Csopak, in Hungary, Buborék Csopak offers a cosy place for cyclists and nature walk enthusiasts to stay all year round, accompanied by various other services (BED-BIKE-BREAD). The building was completely refurbished in June 2022 to create a location that houses not only a bakery, but also a bike shop and a hotel. The upper floor has been repurposed to provide a comfortable place where travellers can stay the night and recharge their batteries (in more ways than one!).
What architects Eszter Bertóty and Edit Móder were aiming for was to create a space that was both functional and inviting, featuring a clean contemporary design born from a fusion of Scandinavian and Mediterranean moods.
Bathed in neutral tones, the interiors are furnished with modern furniture with natural materials predominating throughout. Inside the building then, the bakery's characteristic counter, the fireplace, and the bathrooms walls are all tiled with Ceramica Fondovalle porcelain stoneware from the Res Art collection, in the Talc, Pottery and Mud shades.Res art -
VN Medical Clinic
A state-of-the-art clinic where beauty is the essence.
A place of precision and passion, dedicated to detail to provide the ultimate wellness experience. This is Modena VN Medical Clinic, a cosmetic and anti-aging clinic that celebrates the uniqueness of each client, offering personalised care within an elegant, inviting ambiance.Warm and sophisticated, the space - measuring about 200 m2 and encompassing the reception area, waiting room, and treatment rooms - embodies a refined minimalism in its design with an elegantly understated but still clearly visible style. It is precisely this design philosophy that led to the choice of Ceramica Fondovalle to decorate the clinic’s interiors: From the waiting areas to the treatment rooms, the ceramic slabs from the Background, Komi, and Infinito 2.0 collections take centre stage, showcasing a sophisticated aesthetic that flows seamlessly through the different spaces, creating a stunning continuity of expression.
