Onix, ceramic for modern architecture
The technology, combined with a sophisticated design, plays an important role in this collection. Thanks to this combination, we achieve a product so similar to the authentic that even an expert would doubt of his naturalness.
Onix is the new ceramic product from Vives, produced in polished rectified porcelain, extra shine in 60x60 (58.5x58.5 cm.)
Its translucent green colour, combined with brown veins, highlights its main quality: the brightness, which is very important for avant-garde residential projects.
Vives goes one step further to satisfy the needs, both technical and aesthetical, that their customers may have in the interior design world

TAU's marbles bring one of the great classic, historic home decoration products into the 21st century, but this time offering all the advantages of ceramics. This new idea has been designed in the form of a covering made of glazed, polished porcelain stoneware and its main appeal lies in its incredible sparkle, a spectacular finish of a kind which has never been available for the living environment before, opening up all kinds of new interior design and decoration possibilities.
Even so, the new range of marbles from TAU makes no concessions when it comes to being natural; this is one of the values defining and enveloping each and every one of the six collections on display. The TAU design department have been working incredibly hard to ensure that every line adheres to the original tonality of its model, adapting every chromatic variation to the graphic design which marks out the identity of each of the models.
So the collection comprises Beires, a cream-coloured product reproducing the warmth of the Almería desert stone; Massa, which stands out because of the smooth play of grey waters against the white bottom of the most classic of all Carrara rocks; the restraint of Portoro marble is reflected in the Samaná Negro series and the spectacular Samaná Grana. Last but not least, there are amber and green versions of the delicate Alenda series. All six of these products reproduce the strength and originality of nature in its purest state on their surfaces.

TAU stands for the forefront and innovation in design. The company, for Cersaie 2009, has reserved a significant space at its stand for Corten Energy and Corten Night, the new generation of models of the Corten series, one of the most acknowledged proposals worldwide and that which best identifies the work of the brand.
Corten Energy and Corten Night are two dynamic, forceful proposals for porcelain stoneware, which maintain the spirit of the Corten series, from the TAU Metálica collection, which takes on a new aesthetic form thanks to its inspiration by metals in their purest state. Unsurprisingly, as the Corten series is considered one of the most avant garde architectural and interior solutions which has generated the greatest repercussion since it was launched, thanks to its innovative aesthetic concept and exclusiveness, within the uppermost segment of the market worldwide.
Now, Corten Energy and Corten Night have been developed using new manufacturing techniques which can polish the material to lend it a special personality, with a fire-like appearance, while creating a highly particular iridescent effect which is one of its hallmarks. Both models are available in 45x45, 45x90, 60x60 and 30x60 formats, and in two finishes: natural and polished.
Corten Night adheres to the canons of the TAU ecotile range, i.e. over 45% of the tiles’ composition uses recycled materials as part of the company’s commitment to conserve and respect the environment

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.

Colore is TAU Ceramics response to the architects’ demands when developing their ideas in new projects for façades, exteriors, and large-scale surfaces, which has detected a clear lack of chromatic diversity in the available supply. Faced with this situation, the trademark’s designers have developed a proposal with eight shades, undoubtedly one of the widest ranges in the market. Bright colours and acids contrast with other neutral tones, which permit 1,001 combinations. It is also possible to select a single colour based on the result that is sought in each of the designed applications. The pieces of this model have been created in the following formats: 40x40 and 60x60
Colore, due to the fact that it has been designed for use in exterior and high traffic surfaces, fully complies with the directives established in the Technical Building Code (CTE), a key factor in addition to the premium technical features involved in its creation.
The model fulfils the minimum standards in relation to its anti-slip and resistant qualities, which make it especially suitable for any type of open outdoor space where the product must withstand meteorological conditions, an aspect, which in turn, influences the users that must travel on this ceramic material.
TAU has also developed Colore in another option with the aim to adapt its aesthetic concept to the requirements of interior spaces and façades, which clearly demonstrates the versatility and creative capacity of this innovative proposal.

TAU has an extensive range of proposals specially designed to satisfy the demands and aspirations of all its users, an objective which has been made evident once more in the catalogue of novelties which the trademark will present from the 30th of September to the 4th of October in the Cersaie 2008 Trade Fair. In this sense, Palladio has a special relevance because it represents the international vocation of this company with its outstanding long-term performance.
Palladio is a polished porcelain tile which has been created by means of a very complex technical process, a feature which distinguishes it from the other products in the market. Austere, elegant, with a classic yet very avant-garde style, Palladio is a very exclusive product, ideal for refined, impeccably sophisticated atmospheres.
The proposal has a distinctive marbled nature, although its aesthetic finish is the result of the technical and artistic treatment of fossilized stone, which in this case has served as its source of inspiration. Likewise, the piece’s surface has thousands of fine gold inlays, which sparkle with golden highlights in the light’s reflection.
The result is a smooth balanced blend of natural veins, contrasts, tones, and ever-changing chromatic shades, which is always refreshingly new. Palladio has been developed in six colours, which can all be combined with each other, hence multiplying the finish options.
In order to expand this collection, TAU completes its offer with the Livorno series, a model inspired by the calacatta type marble, which when used as a coating, significantly enhances the aesthetic finish of Palladio.

TAU demonstrates that ceramics is not only a versatile material, but it is also capable of transmitting the values of the materials which it uses as reference. This is the case of the trademark’s new ceramic woods, which blend comfort, warmth, and balance to create natural sensations in addition to their ecological value. At a time in which forests require maximum protection, ceramic materials supply interior designers with their own specific features such as durability, resistance, easy-to-clean, decorative freedom, and an infinite range of application options. First Class proposals for select and exclusive atmospheres.
Deco represents the most avant-garde proposal by TAU and has become one of its most outstanding contributions to the Cersaie 2008 Trade Fair, where it occupies a high-profile section in its stand. The model has been inspired by Zebrano wood. A material with very well-defined tones, which TAU Advanced, the trademark’s creativity and design forum, has enhanced by contrasting them in multiple directions on the piece’s surface, with a captivating and original aesthetic result. Deco is also available in a white, brown, or black version, which can be easily combined with each other, to strengthen its aesthetic effect.

Bera represents TAU’s most classic format; it is a product that has been designed in different shades and multiple formats to permit a wide range of applications including small boards and strips, the latter for the most cutting-edge aesthetic proposals, especially created for wall coverings.

Galena has advanced one step further towards the modernisation of wood as a coating for indoor spaces. This proposal is a lacquered and aged ceramic log, with a slight metallic shine which creates a surprising display of light and small reflections which make it truly innovative. The selected tones are also very appealing, (white, green and grey) a refreshing change from the more traditional concept of wood.

The catalogue of new items which TAU is to present at Cersaie 2009 also includes such interesting products as Mythos, a porcelain stoneware which imitates the purity of classic pentelic marble, in order to capture and materialise the essence of nature in ceramics. Refined, elegant, pure, reserved but always beautiful, Mythos is available in two versions, polished and natural, which lend it an incredible resemblance to the model on which it is inspired. Mythos is available in 25x36, 45x45, 45x90 and 60x60 formats and five chromatic tones.Also noteworthy is that TAU has designed Corten Energy and Mythos in the TAUfine version, the new ultrafine and light porcelain which reduces the thickness by over 50% compared to the traditional models, bringing it down to 5 mm. This is an innovative proposal, ideal for rehabilitation and architecture. TAUfine is a commitment to ecology, cost saving in materials and at the forefront of construction, in line with the R&D&I which TAU has used since its beginnings and which have made it a worldwide benchmark.
