Kaolin Surfaces and Greg Natale have collaborated to create the Grotta Collection, a series of porcelain tiles.

The Grotta collection comprises four tiles featuring modernist, simplified designs that echo the 1970s Brutalist movement.

This exploration of natural forms through industrial materials like concrete, brick and bronze, alongside reduced shapes, neutral tones and decorative textures, emphasises the raw beauty of urban design.

The collection represents abstract constructivism, blending the innovations of industrial design with architecture.

It highlights Kaolin's craftsmanship, praised within the industry for achieving some of the most technically complex and intricate textures.

Textures such as plaster, cardboard, burnt wood and copper have never before been realised in porcelain tile manufacturing and stand out for their uniqueness.

This project has been longlisted in the surface design category of Dezeen Awards 2024.
