The Marazzi Crogiolo collection of small size tiles has reminded the world of the expressive potential of vivid materials and tactile, deliberately flawed surfaces. Despite being industrial products, the Crogiolo collections evoke the know-how, craftsmanship and willingness to experiment that have shaped the Italian ceramic tradition. In the 1980s Marazzi combined these characteristics in its Crogiolo research centre, to which the collection’s name pays tribute, created to develop new industrial ceramic solutions through the work of artists.
Thanks to its production technology and in-depth research into glazes and colour, Lume transfers all the beauty of hand-made majolica brick tiles to porcelain stoneware. With intense colours, glossy surfaces and a new balance between imperfection and perfection, it is possible to create vibrant interiors in which the tactility of the elements is both aesthetically striking and pleasant to the touch.
Lume is one of Crogiolo’s eleven collections and is today reinterpreted in a 21×18.2 cm hexagonal tile in the colours White, Green and Blue. The surfaces of the small hexagonal pieces, covered with a thick layer of glaze, feature all the imperfections, irregularities, pitting and colour variations of the handmade ceramics from which they take their inspiration.
A product certified by Greenguard for its low harmful substance emissions and Declare for the absence of chemicals damaging to the health, frost-proof and resistant to deep abrasion, Crogiolo Lume can be used to create artisan-effect coverings, offering a contemporary take on the distinctive characteristics of ceramic in its purest form. Available in twelve colours, ranging from classic shades like White, Green, Blue, Black, Musk, Greige, Off White and Beige, to vibrant and brilliant tones like Pink, Forest, Turquoise and China. For surface effects and colour combinations that enhance any classic or contemporary interior.
