By combining the two surfaces of cement and seminato flooring, Lea Ceramiche proposes a new stimulating and sophisticated collection, rich in shades and nuances. Masterpiece blends limited elements that can develop unlimited combinations.
It's an alphabet of colours and materials, a sequence of adjustable notes that can compose an endless range of melodies.
Masterpiece is a palette inviting its interpreters to design and create projects that are unique yet sharing an underlying common thread of character, distinction, and creativity, that bear witness to the collection’s ability to narrate the designer's vision. “Colour and material are the foundation of my work - says Ferruccio Laviani - and every time I find it fascinating to venture into new projects and research endeavours.
Masterpiece is the perfect balance between two elements: the texture and uniform colour of Master which, with the simple addition of small fragments, transforms into Piece, a ‘terrazzo tile’ with a subtle and delicate pattern, articulated in various shades of colour. The chromatic range draws from the tradition of Italian interior design, that is clearly discernible in the various elements of Piece, such as the Verde Alpi marble, the ochre of the Land of Siena, the rust of the Cotto Lombardo, and the grey of the Pietra Serena." Two different crafted surfaces: Master, inspired by cement, and Piece, inspired by seminato flooring, which can be freely combined or used separately.
The Master surface (cement) draws inspiration from a structured composition of artefacts obtained through techniques involving mixing of different materials that have been selected and rendered graphically homogenous. The result is a grainy type of cement rich in micro-aggregates that provide material depth and movement, in which each surface possesses a unique design feature. This is no neutral, one-dimensional surface.
Every colour offers diverse nuances that provide it with motion and variety. The cement surface is devised for both interior and outdoor areas: a solution capable of responding to any demand in terms of design and performance. Featuring micro-fragments densely embedded in the body of the product that are also visible on the tile edge, the seminato flooring Piece offers a finely elaborated surface material, three-dimensional and rich. In this case as well, the collection includes five variations, which can be perfectly combined with the cement effect tiles.
Masterpiece, therefore, narrates a tale of bordering surfaces engaged in a refined dialogue open to sophisticated design and multifaceted decorative combinations, suitable for different uses: from a simple trendy cement surface to the free combination of Master and Piece. Masterpiece is a green material, made through manufacturing processes that respect the environment, people’s health and well-being. Masterpiece is a healthy and safe surface thanks to its PROTECT antibacterial properties.
