To expand on the compositional and design potential of spaces, Graniti Fiandre has created Aster Maximum, a collection of porcelain tiles in large sizes (part of the Geologica line) in innovative, surprising colours.
A line of hues ranging from anthracite (Moon) to diaphanous hues (Uranus) and shades of light grey (Venus) and dark grey (Mercury), all inspired by the look of brushed cement.
These unusual hues permit original shades and highlights: the colours can emphasise the furnishings, reflect the outdoor environment in which the building stands or simply facilitate perception of the overall atmosphere, contemplation of the landscape, or study of the alternation of full and empty volumes in space.
Versatile and flexible for indoor and outdoor use, Aster Maximum maxi-tiles emphasise this unusual combination of colours to significantly improve the aesthetic performance of the ceramic material.
Selected and sustainable porcelain tiles measuring 300x150 (and submultiples thereof) provide a continuous visual solution, eliminating the repetitions and interruptions of the composition that standard tiles can produce.
This is a clear benefit for design, allowing architects to imagine spaces with atmospheres evoking wide open spaces and unusual shapes, in which the design of the furniture and accessories defines and personalises the spaces’ identity.
Laying schemes, the height of the room and how it is lit are some of the key elements in creativity, and Aster Maximum tiles can underline their variety and hue.
The particular colour palette associated with large tiles also underlines other important aspects shared by all projects incorporating expressive surfaces, such as dynamism and light effects. Not just living spaces, but retail spaces, the contract industry and any other public space can benefit from the presence of a material with a reduced thickness ensuring lightness and elasticity.
