Floor and wall coverings
DESIGNER
Ivan Djordjevic
YEAR
2021
The concrete-look surfaces of Portland, installed in different sizes and with special decors, alternate graphic effects that evoke the ways concrete is shaped and installed, in an attractive interplay of tasteful contrasts achieved through shade variations and subtle decorative touches. References to a tradition with an urban spirit give way to the desire for change, redesigning space with a unique, unmistakable personality.
The marks, scratches and flaws of the concrete look also feature on the walls of the relaxation zone, giving the location an appeal rich in creative energy. Urban Craft gives coverings an original, unique touch, a kind of homage to urban art transferred into unusual contexts to construct completely new looks. Traces of rusty metal become the ideal background for covering new creative spaces, where people can express their personalities through colours, shapes and material effects.

In the centre of Nola, a small town in the province of Naples and a historical, cultural, and commercial centre, a particularly captivating restaurant has opened its doors for the first time.

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 -
STX Motorhomes
Fluid lines and attractive designs: the luxury motorhomes of the Belgian STX brand exude a refined mix of elegance and flair. Distinctive for their sporty and dynamic appeal, the interiors of STX vehicles are what really captivate travellers. Inspired by exclusive yachts, every item of decor in these mobile homes has a bright and welcoming Scandinavian feel that will make you feel right at home, wherever you may be.
The strong contrast between the robustness of the exterior and the delicacy of the interiors makes these vehicles authentic luxury homes on wheels, their living spaces filled with leather, carbon fibre, select woods and sumptuous high-end fabrics.
In such an innovative designer setting, Ceramica Fondovalle was brought in to add a touch of glamour to the kitchen area and bathrooms of various STX motorhomes.
The common denominator of this partnership, shared by the various types of vehicles, is the use of marble-effect porcelain stoneware from the Infinito 2.0 collection, applied in various sizes and colours according to the style of the motorhome. In fact, the marble-effect products of the Infinito 2.0 collection boast different textures, criss-crossed by veins of different widths which showcase their natural and precious appearance.

Located in the south of Turin's old town is the Crocetta district, home (at via F.lli Carle, on the corner between Corso Alcide De Gasperi and Corso Duca degli Abruzzi) to Residenza Carle, a residential building that has undergone a complete renovation, including a rearrangement of its internal spaces to create 21 apartments.
But a key aim of the project was to ensure maximum energy efficiency and this was achieved by adopting the most innovative measures offered by today's technology and contemporary architecture.
