Stone-effect indoor coverings: the Materia Pura project

One of the musts on the contemporary interior design scene, stone-effect coverings delight the eyes and nourish the imagination with their immaculate appearance and performance. Fap interprets this trend with tactile, colourful, sensual porcelain stoneware indoor surfaces.

The work of the architect and designer is really about well-being. After all, that’s basically what people want: to feel good in a space.

Stone Effect: an elegant, versatile interior design choice

Stone-effect porcelain stoneware is one of the most popular contemporary design solutions because it combines style, sensory appeal and practicality, reconciling factors of central importance to interior architecture and the contemporary lifestyle: minimalism and comfort.

In fact, stone-effect indoor coverings are both versatile and sophisticated.
The surfaces naturally recreate the real character of stone, while stoneware guarantees durability and performance. The coverings constitute a visual and tactile experience, able to transform the locations of daily life into places with sensory power, to support well-being.

Materia Pura: sensual stoneware for new surfaces

Materia Pura is an indoor stoneware floor and wall tile collection that combines minimalism with tactile allure.
Its stoneware surfaces are simple yet also opulent, due to their wealth of details.
Not only the intense Terra but also most neutral stoneware floor tile colours - Bianco, Beige and Tortora - are rich in vitality, shade variations and pigments.

This richness becomes tactile with the rhythmic 3D effect of Trama Beige and Trama Bianco, and with Sassi Tortora, created using the True Touch treatment and featuring iridescent inclusions that give light and personality to every tile.
Every piece contributes rhythm and structure, in ceramics with tactile as well as visual appeal.

Modern coverings and wall tiles: exciting, refined continuity

The wall tiles extend the colour palette with Ocra Brillante, Tortora Brillante and Verde Brillante. The assortment also embraces the Micro Bianco, Beige, Tortora and Terra pieces, 3D wall tiles that evoke a contemporary interpretation of mosaic, its beauty enhanced with little glittering highlights.
As a result, the modern tiles in the Materia Pura collection create a tasteful continuum with the floor coverings, in an elegant dialogue of colours and textures.

The beauty of the Micro Terra, Beige and Bianco and Sassi Tortora surfaces is heightened by iridescent elements and gleaming mineral fragments that add dynamism and interact with the light, modulating the perception of space.
The result is an elegant, contemporary, multisensory stone effect: warm, authentic, immaculate surfaces ideal for residential and commercial interiors.

From living room to bathroom: interior design ideas

The Materia Pura collection’s rich colours and textures are perfectly aligned with the 2026 trends and adapt easily to individual styles and tastes, enabling personalisation.

Perfect for creating attractive, welcoming interiors, reinforced by natural materials and soft textures. Ideal for covering an entire interior design project, crafting different atmospheres and moods in every room, from living room to kitchen and from bathroom to bedroom.

In an open-plan living room, we might envisage Materia Pura Terra on the floor and Materia Pura Tortora on the walls, combined with Trama Bianco to add emphasis or character to corners or areas of the interior.

In the bathroom, we might consider brighter shades such as Materia Pura Ocra & Ocra Brillante, combined with Micro Tortora wall tiles and Materia Pura Tortora on the floor: this dialogue of different textures and colour variants appeals pleasantly to the emotions and satisfies our shared desire to “feel good in a space”.

Materia Pura also provides plenty of scope for creative use of contrasts of light and matter in kitchens or contract interiors, thanks to its colour palette and decorative pieces that give every surface star quality without sacrificing practicality and comfort.
