Ceramica Fondovalle, which has always been committed to combining the development of new materials with evolving style trends, was chosen to convey the design language of this project. The expressive features of the porcelain stoneware collections formed a leitmotif running through the six rooms of Villa Emy, crafting a careful balance between tradition and individuality. While the strong contrasts of the stone-effect Planeto collection turn the floors in the communal areas into a key feature, Dream is the soul of the project.
Offering a contemporary slant on Art Deco, linen-inspired textures and nature-themed decorations define the Dream slabs — particularly the Woods and Garden accents. These details evoke a sense of modern elegance, with fleeting references to woodlands and gardens, evocative of hand-painted canvases. Their subtle textures lend character to the rooms, providing an artistic, sensory dimension while maintaining the practicality of porcelain stoneware. In the bathrooms, the Dream Garden and Dream Woods accents create spaces that connect deeply with the user, creating a sense of comfort and sophistication.
The refurbishment of Villa Emy was completed with the Res Art wall tiles in the Olive and Pottery tones, where the textural effects of spatula-applied resin bring a warm, richly artistic quality to the porcelain stoneware.

Kazan Mall
Noble and fascinating, the city of Kazan offers a perfect blend of culture, where tradition and innovation coexist in radically renovated buildings and infrastructure facilities which make it a perfect crossroads for business and the meeting of civilisations. Against this backdrop, where pioneering technology is called upon to enhance the beauty of the past, the Kazan Mall is a concentration of ancient and modern, which offers a shopping and entertainment experience including over 150 stores carrying world-famous brands.

Pizzeria Meggie La Capricciosa
An ambitious project and a sentimental choice (akin to love), the Maggie La Capricciosa pizzeria owes its name to its owners' passion for pizza. Celebrating their love of traditional Neapolitan pizzas, the pizzeria has taken the name of the classic of classics, the Margherita, and invented a pet name for it, Maggie.

SPA-LEVEL UP
Located in the place where one of Europe’s most important prehistoric cultures originated, Belgrade has two opposing souls brimming with identities which face up, briefly touch and then separate. Urban concrete and the coexistence of different ethnicities and traditions combine with art, design and a vibrant night life to offer visitors a city with an important past, but strongly oriented towards the future.
In this context, suspended between reminders of history and a focus on tomorrow, Ceramica Fondovalle’s Made in Italy products were selected to provide stylish, elegant coverings for some locations of Level UP, a luxury spa in the Serbian capital.
Different sizes and colour shades decorated the facility’s pool area with a blend of sophistication and welcoming warmth. The Fondovalle brand products enhanced the beauty of the floors and walls with the quality and refined aesthetic of porcelain stoneware.

ALEJA shopping centre in Ljubljana
The Aleja shopping centre was constructed with materials of the very highest quality. Ceramica Fondovalle was chosen to cover the interiors of the delicatessen sector of the Interspar hypermarket with concrete effect porcelain stoneware tiles from the Portland collection, in Lassen colour and 120x60 size.
Thanks to the striking patterning which resembles hand-trowelled concrete, the overall visual impact is extremely attractive. The simple, neutral colour adds value to the location, transforming the area into a small corner to be savoured with the eyes.

Lucky Loore
Small but full of life, provincial but steeped in history, and filled with tourist attractions, Tartu is held to be the 'spiritual' capital of Estonia and is also home to one of the oldest universities in Northern Europe, with students making up one seventh of the city's population.
