The Valmalenco is a wide Alpine valley in Sondrio province, close to the border with Switzerland. It has been recognised and is studied as a site of mineral deposits and stones including the most famous one, the Serpentine stone, which is much appreciated in the field of ornamental rocks because of its highly unusual streaks.
These streaks are a special feature of the through-body coloured porcelain stoneware slabs in the Valmalenco collection. With a well-defined identity, they run lengthwise and blend perfectly with the base colour of the tile.
The Valmalenco collection comprises 7 very up-to-date colours, Bianco, Nero, Grigio, Cenere, Crema, Malto and Moka – colours that have been researched with great care. Production sizes are 45x90, 60x60 cm and 30x60 cm, in both natural and rectified natural, with a smooth-to-the-touch surface vaguely reminiscent of stone slabs cut with a saw. In the rectified and semi-polished version the surface shine resulting from the processing is enhanced. In the 30x60 cm size, a textured surface reminiscent of the “chisel” weaves of original stone slabs is also available and is ideal for outdoor spaces, but also for rustic interiors or, on the contrary, extremely modern ones.
