IVANKA’s Gaudi tile is a foor and wall covering with a motive designed by the famous Catalan architect, Antoni Gaudí, made from IVANKA High Performance Concrete (I-HPC) with a well mastered technology. Its visual appearance reflects the unique and distinctive style of Gaudí’s Catalan modernism, while utilizing a contemporary material. The extreme durability of I-HPC ensures that the meticulous design nuances of the tile can be enjoyed for long, long years, while the material gracefully ages and acquires its signature character with use and wear. By utilizing high-quality production processes, IVANKA resembles both traditional characteristics of concrete, and the features of Gaudí’s organic architecture on its tiles with two different thicknesses, in a large palette of available colours. MATERIAL Our trademark IVANKA High Performance Concrete (I-HPC) reinforced with high-density fibre, surface protected for water and stain resistance. The concrete produced by IVANKA is an extremely durable and resistant material, suitable for indoors and outdoors, domestic and public use. Concrete is a breathing material with all its inhomogenous surfaces and cloudy appearances, and we love it as such. Being a hygroscopic material, moisture is absorbed and released from concrete as the surrounding humidity changes. The play of colour tone differences between each pigment-dyed Gaudi, or even on one surface, make it a living material completely different from dead, sterile plastics. Efflorescence is a specialty of all cement-bonded materials, and is a natural and fully harmless feature of concrete.
