Porcelain stoneware tile GRAND CARPET

The Grand Carpet project, produced in 6 different modules of 120x240 cm in 6 mm thickness, represents an original approach to large slabs and to porcelain stoneware itself. Grand Carpet is intended for covering horizontal and vertical surfaces, indoors and outdoors, in both residential and contract locations. The line is offered in two extremely sophisticated colour variants: the warm version, Sand, is directly derived from the Salone del Mobile project, while Smoke offers a cooler, very versatile combination of shades. To mark Milan Design Week 2017, Marazzi joined forces with the top firm of Antonio Citterio Patricia Viel for the site-specific Augmented Surface project. This installation, and the immediate positive feedback, has led to the development of Grand Carpet, a collection of slabs inspired by the theatrical, striking work. The product evokes the magnificence of an antique Persian carpet, in which obvious random wear over the years has transformed the compositions into patterns which are similar but always different: small pixels, with varying colour density, printed on porcelain stoneware in the 120x240 cm size, create a single large pattern which can be repeated to infinity. With its distinctive decoration and the warmth of the ceramic body material, Grand Carpet creates original textures throughout the home. Used in allover mode, Grand Carpet clads interiors in sophisticated style, evoking a tapestry effect. The infinite combination potentials and anti-slip properties make this collection ideal for contemporary commercial locations.
