Among the new ideas presented at Cersaie 2019, Mat&More is an innovative ceramic product that makes contrast an art form.
The contrasts are not only expressed in surfaces, in the graphic or material rendering, but take form on the ceramic material with vigour and lightness, lending coverings rare rhythm and brightness.
Mat&More is an expression and synthesis of contemporary design, of the predilection for decorative and decidedly 3D surfaces.
The new collection of coverings in white body is the result of intense research, renewing the concept itself of three-dimensionality.
FAP’s designers have developed a fresh, original design focused on contrasts of volume and brightness, polished finishes on matt backgrounds, pleasantly material surfaces and glossy geometries in relief, exploring all the possibilities of the white body ceramic material.
The decorative concept ranges from geometric rigour to patterns with a vibrant, retro feel, lit up by the brilliant quality that distinguishes the collection and places it outside of time, beyond fashions and trends.
«The rules of the game of architecture - claimed Gio Ponti – relate more to surfaces rather than volumes and lies in the magic and dynamic reflections of the ceramic material, in its appearing and disappearing, depending on the angle of sunlight. »
Mat&More is all this: sophisticated surfaces, rich in volume, enlivened by light that creates unexpected iridescences and movements in a delicate and trendy palette.
The Domino element is a small triumph of multifaceted reliefs, geometric patterns that capture the light and reflect it in the form of pleasing vibrations and tactile variations which are always different, depending on the layout. Bright quarter circles on matt backgrounds are key elements of Deco, which lend rhythm according to the combinations.
The result is decidedly artistic; it echoes the repeated graphic sign of Giuseppe Capogrossi or the dynamic rhythm of optical art.
The Metal Brown and Metal Blue inserts take the “Tactile & Shine” component towards new decorative possibilities: geometries and trajectories that define the space according to inspiration: scenic backgrounds, elegant framings and modern panelling.
Such an eclectic collection could be without Mosaics, the eternal classic that adorns the 30.5x30.5 surface with numerous micro-tesserae, matt on matt.
The set of special pieces and coordinated edges is a must for finishing the installation in an artful fashion.
