The home is a symbol of family, serenity, intimacy, tradition, warmth, and togetherness. Sometimes just a simple object, an aroma, a color or a material are enough to bring us back to the ethereal dimension, beyond space and time, which we call home. This is the magical power of terracotta, used as a flooring material for more than 4000 years. In Italy, where the Etruscans exalted the characteristics of this material thanks to the peculiarities of the territory, terracotta found its ultimate expression in Umbria. Here it has been used for hundreds of years to make pottery for wine and oil, imbued with the tastes and aromas of the Umbrian hills and landscapes.
Colors
Aged Rose What we live remains within us. It is our life. Our life becomes our experience. Experience leads to wisdom. Wisdom leads to serenity. “Aged”? is not worn, shabby, old, broken. “Aged”? is knowledge and memory. Terraviva The Earth is alive, the Earth is life. It is a sign of prosperity. It is hope and security. It is abundance. She is the mother of everything, even of the terracotta bricks, characterized by the most famous color of earth in the world, that of the Umbrian-Tuscan hills. The Earth tells a story, influences, teaches. The earth is ours.
Forms
Hexagon Nothing is born from diamonds. Flowers are born from manure. From the cold anonymity of the hexagonal cement tiles of public buildings, an ambiance of soft warmth is born. It is the essence of terracotta united with the shape of the hexagon. It combines perfectly with the triangle, with either a combination of tone on tone or an arrangement of contrasting colors. Triangle The incorruptible power of the number three. The metaphysical perfection of the trinity. Equilibrium. But what is perfect and predictable is boring. That’s why it is through experimentation that the triangle unlocks its multifaceted soul: alongside a hexagon, it creates infinite nuances, contrasts, and mystical combinations. Decorate a surface with your soul.
