No trees to fell, but you have all the pleasure and beauty of wood

Bricola

The new Ceramica Rondine collection takes its inspiration from the dream-like, charming beauty of the Venetian lagoon, a place with a thousand - year long history, where man and water have always lived together in a symbiotic relationship.
It is precisely in this lagoon landscape, deep - rooted in its seabed, that we find one of Venice’s most symbolic elements: the briccola, the dolphin, the nautical structure that marks off the navigable areas of the canals, providing important information.

Chalet

The sinuous nature of wood shows off all its charms. New colour shades create natural wood effects on the tiles, mimicking the delicate grain found in nature.
Chalet wood-effect glazed porcelain stoneware stands out for its timeless appearance.

Decape'

For those for whom classic style is a must, an opportunity to bring a warm, vintage touch. Vintage, recycled style has been gaining ground for years now, focusing first on stone and subsequently on wood.
Riding this wave, oak – the European wood par excellence, the most common and most closely bound to tradition and a warm, family atmosphere – has hitherto been offered in a distinctive, country-style guise; such products, striking though they are, are certainly not suitable for every setting. On this occasion, Ceramica Rondine’s idea is to apply the vintage, recycling concept to a more classic solution.

Hard & Soft

Mountain chalets deep in the silence of nature; the hushed atmosphere of stunning alpine scenery, the scent of aged wood: these were the inspirations that led to this collection and its strong tactile and material appeal.
Hard&Soft porcelain stoneware tiles are like wooden boards that depict the passing of time. The surface is alive, as if skilled artisans crafted each ceramic element by hand.

Visual

The richness of matter blends into the floor, bringing life to a fairy tale of yesteryear. This ceramic wood tile is inspired by the bright lights of the North.
