Dezeen Showroom: drawing inspiration from historic Italian architecture, the Pietra Tiburtina tiles from Casalgrande Padana recreate the charm of natural travertine.
The Pietra Tiburtina porcelain stoneware tile collection is based on travertine – a staple of Italian construction and decorating since Roman times.
For the collection, Casalgrande Padana focused on the aesthetic effects of both vein-cut travertine, which shows off the rhythmic layers of limestone that are created over time, and cross-cut travertine, where the slab is cut parallel to the veining, giving a more delicate, cloud-like surface texture.
Pietra Tiburtina can be used on walls and floors thanks to the sturdiness of porcelain stoneware. It can also be used to create furnishings, partition walls, countertops and washbasins.
The collection comes in four colours and a wide array of formats, including a mosaic tiles and options that can be used outdoors on sand, gravel or turf.
"Delicate earthy shades, beautiful streaks and a three-dimensional play of light and shadow give these tiles a texture full of charm and elegance," said Casalgrande Padana.
