Paris Design Week is a unique opportunity for experiencing and exploring the city through exhibitions and installations in the Ville Lumière’s leading showrooms. Nine themed itineraries (Promenades), from the Rive Gauche to Opéra-Concorde, from Étoile to the Palais-Royal and from the Marais to the Bastille, provide visitors and professionals with guidance for exploring design and interior decoration, combining art and furnishings, classic and contemporary, food design and the art of the table. Marazzi takes part in the Promenade Projects itinerary dedicated to home interior design.
At its showroom in the iconic Haussman-era building at Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Marazzi offers the international audience the chance to view the latest additions to its Crogiolo range, an exploration of the small tile tradition and “flawed” surfaces with a hand-made look. These include the ArtCraft collection, which evokes the tactile beauty of terracotta with a large assortment of solutions and decors. It provides three tile sizes (square 20×20 cm, hexagonal 21×18.2 cm and the brand new rectangular 5.3×30 cm size) with all the variety and appearance of traditional terracotta, giving the collection a fresh yet familiar feel.
The same trend is maintained in the Slow collection, which simulates hand-pressed clay, deliberately irregular and incorporating minor flaws. The tiles have the matt, sandy texture of baked clay, also evoked in the collection’s six colours. With six sizes, ranging from square to rectangular (120×120 cm, 75×150 cm, 60×120 cm, 80×80 cm in the 2 cm variant, 75×75 cm and 60×60 cm), the assortment caters for a wide variety of spaces and installation layouts.
The Paris showroom completes its display by highlighting Mystone Berici, the porcelain stoneware collection inspired by limestone from Vicenza: warm shades merge into a neutral surface embedded with shells, microfossils and debris with a tactile look, realistically portrayed thanks to the use of the 3D Ink Premium Technology, which creates perfect matching between surfaces’ patterning and structure.
