Mirror Fade: the mirror-effect glossy porcelain stoneware ideal for dramatic interiors
Lights, reflections, matter itself… in glossy porcelain stoneware. Or how to create a sense of space and mystery.
Contemporary interior design is increasingly focused on the dialogue between light and surfaces. A new finish has now joined the select group of the most sophisticated products for dramatic interiors and distinctive furnishings: mirror-effect glossy porcelain stoneware.
With Mirror Fade, FAP Ceramiche penetrates to the heart of this new trend in material and design - in fact, it transforms it, inviting us to look beyond the surface and go through the looking glass!
An aesthetic celebration that multiplies the beauty of interiors, yet also a high-performance slab with vast potential, taking light and transforming it into design, with all the versatility and durability of porcelain stoneware.
The ample 120 x 278 cm size magnifies the elegance of the mirror finish, while the thickness - just 6 mm - increases the slab’s versatility, enabling it to enhance every architectural project with surfaces of pure light.
A contemporary interpretation of the ceramic tile, that redefines the status of the wall, making it an architectural tool, ideal for designer furnishings with the perfect mix of practicality and visual splendour.
Through the looking glass, we cross the boundary between the real and the imaginary.
Logic and time are overturned.
New spaces and new storytelling are created.
Lights, reflections, matter itself: the beauty of glossy porcelain stoneware
With Gemme Mirror Fade Inserto, FAP has set out to create a daring, innovative product in which ceramics acquire a fresh connotation and an artistic and contemporary identity, the perfect blend of aesthetics and technology.
The bright surfaces capture and reflect light, giving interiors an extraordinary radiance and visual depth and transforming the wall into a constantly changing reflective canvas.
Minimalism and tactile appeal: an irresistible combination
Matter itself has returned to the centre of modern design. And given that the minimalist aesthetic means extreme attention to textures, reflections and finishes, Mirror Fade provides just this: formal simplicity with sensory richness.
This gleaming material is perfect for interiors in minimalist style and neutral, sophisticated shades, to complete tone-on-tone colour schemes or create refined contrasts, enriching them with a radiant yet tasteful personality.
But how can you use it in a residential interior design project?
Here are some inspirations!
- In a modern bathroom: as a shower wall or as cladding behind the washbasin, for a metropolitan spa effect.
- In the living-room: as the back wall of bookcases, recesses or TV compositions, to highlight the heart of the living area.
- In the bedroom: as a vertical boiserie or a decorative feature behind the bedhead.
I wonder what the world through the looking-glass is like...
It must be exactly like ours, except everything is back to front.Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There, Lewis Carroll, 1871
