With its solid grey hues, stone effect Basatina porcelain tile collection offers a modern and stylish appearance wherever applied.

Marca Corona Gallery, the historical archive of Rubbiani Collection, the ancient heritage of the Sassuolo ceramics and the genetic legacy of Marca Corona, represents the source of inspiration for this small-size collection: tradition is reinterpreted from its most appreciated form – white and blue majolica – through an extensive graphic research and an innovative decoration technique, to give these floors and walls a modern look, suitable for the most sophisticated and trendy residential and commercial spaces.

Proposed in the classical formats, Maiolica is characterized by a lively handcrafted look and 3D touches. Proposed in monochromatic scheme or laid in contrast, the white and blue backgrounds match a rich selection of decorations, with geometric and floral motifs.

Inspired by the natural layers of sedimentary stone, the BYK140 wall tile collection is a realistic representation of the original material. The collection is highly suitable for wall application in bathroom and kitchens.

This is the story of a journey...
A magical journey into the fascinating Japanese culture, marked by harmony, dimensions that mute as time goes by. A culture characterized by many contradictions that identify the uniqueness and elegance. Balance between fast-paced innovation and traditions. In Japan, arts, traditions and rituals coexist harmoniously with technology, progress together with the speed in which it all happens. Knowledge is the key word that has marked the creation of this series. Ours was a love at first sight. From the vision of a house in the countryside near Kyoto, externally coated with burnt wood led to a charming and engaging emotion then fueled by the discovery:
Yaki or Shou Sugi Sugi Ban is an ancient Japanese technique, which consists in the carbonization of wood planks, making them waterproof and fireproof, still used in modern architecture.
The elegance of the Japanese master craftsmanship has the ability to make valuable materials which are poor, is definitely one of the large differences between our culture and theirs.
The result of this process has us excited and to say the least, fascinated.
We reinterpreted the fruit of this technique through Yaki in four different colors and two different surfaces, an opaque and a resin on a format of 15x120cm.
