THE REAL MYSTERY IS WHAT YOU CAN SEE, NOT WHAT YOU CAN'T. In the introduction to one of my tile collections, I wrote that you just have to close your eyes to see better; in other words, you have to open the eyes of your imagination to reach out and touch what's real. The main idea behind this collection is the exact opposite: you have to have your eyes wide open to see the thousands of tiny corners in the world which can inspire a new adventure. Nature supplies the universal elements which we simply have to reinvent and shape in new ways.
In the following pages you will see how some ol these elements haue supplied the background for the new 2004 wall tile collection from Viva Ceramica.

The expression of tradition in the perfect tonality of a range of terra cotta colours. The reinterpretation of COTTO as the search for natural beauty. 30x30 cm tiles, 15x30 pavings and 15x15 cm cabochons are the dimensions proposed to respect the material and compose a style specific to ABITARE in its philosophy and tradition.
So that ABITARE remains a must as time goes by. On a daily basis, where every gesture and ritual belongs to us, unique in its traditions, surrounded by atmospheres which, with COTTO, speak of us and bear witnesses to our timeless style.
The ochre, terra cotta tonalities of COTTO will give your interior an authentic, warm and reassuring atmosphere. |

Porcelain tiles combine durability with maximum resistance to impact In addition, they are hygienic, easy to clean and come in a wide range of highly attractive (natural or polished) finishes. Their forms and characteristics make them comparable with natural stone.
The polished finishes can offer spectacular light reflection of more than 70%, making it the ideal choice in settings where the aim is to create a sensation of greater space; whilst the matt finishes guarantee excellent resistance to high traffic and are consequently highly recommendable for use i. public and commercial spaces. |

Thanks to the high resistance of its porcelain tiles, LATINA doesn’t have to dread the rhythmic displacement of its people according to traditions that are thousands of years old.

The multiple formats (45x45, 30x30, 15x30 and 15x15) and the modern colours of the LATINA series let you design the most original and refined combinations. |

PIETRA DI LUBERON forms part of the Abitare Collection. The inspiration inherent in these porcelain tiles, natural and modern at the same time, lets you create comfortable and luminous ambiances.
Its untreated finish, with a slightly granular feel, is ideal for interior applications or on terraces. In addition, the slightly polished, satin finish of the lappato confers the product with a unique fluidity and softness, which only adds to the atmosphere of warm and personalised interiors.
PIETRA DI LUBERON is available in modular formats of 45x45, 30x45 and 30x30.
The luminous tonalities and the relief design of the material make this collection a must for ambiances with character, delightfully profiting from interplaying light and shade. Due to the technical nature of this product, laying with wide joints is recommended. |

With dimensions of 60x60 cm, 30x60 cm, 45x45 cm, and 30x30 cm, the pavings formed through the shaping of PIETRA DI FRANCIA are forms that highlight the language of the material. Two surface finishes, NATURELLE and LAPPATO, bring out the sense of feel, to obtain a tactile perception of your house. Elegance, as an end in itself, extremely versatile, the delicate perception and the infinite compositions of mosaics are models that allow rooms to be decorated and covered with a contemporary "abitare".
Elegance, modernity and originality, with PIETRA DI FRANCIA, the infinite possibilities of asymmetric or mosaic laying patterns will ensure your interiors are completely unique. |

| Sine Die expresses a new concept in architecture that extends beyond the traditional distinction between floor and wall tiles, dealing simply with surfaces: smooth ceramic façades that create cosy, comfortble spaces, thanks to the use of an innovative system of special trims. |

"Look over and over. Before you, something unique in the world. Nowhere else nature is so much subtle, elegant, fine. The God making these hills was an artist. This landscape, darling, owns the beauty of an ancient coin and of a precious painting. It is a perfect masterpiece." (from "Lys Rouge" by Anatole France)
In nature, the colour alchemy sometimes results in
extremely interesting and pleasant effects.
Novabell has succeeded in catching this natural
combination of light shades and strong colours
and in transferring the pleasant suggestions that
only some landscapes can give you on the matter. |

A new material rich in light reflection and depth for today's interior design.
Five colours versions convey in modern vein the richness of precious metals and rare stones.
Shine is strength and originality, metallic effects and reflection. It can be used for both floors and walls, and is smart and elegant, as only the best coverings are, but it is also as compact and solid as a hi-tech massive for floors.
Honing lends surfaces a rich, authentic flavour that stems from the monolithic quality of full body porcelain tiles. |
