Held in Chicago from April 18 to 21, Coverings showcased also the new ceramic proposals of the three Kale Group made in Italy brands: from the woven cement effect porcelain stoneware of Lin_Side by Edilgres, to the varnished wood effect of Wornwood by Edilcuoghi up to “brick” surfaces by Groove and LeTavole series by Campani that interprets natural wood by introducing a new large format into the range.
Edilcuoghi presents the Wornwood collection: a project of 10 cm thick porcelain stoneware tiles born from the interpretation of varnished wood essences and materials that come from a tradition of craftsmanship. On each surface, overlapping passages of materials and colors coexist, meeting the veins of the wood and its decided nuances. Each color in the range becomes creative and contemporary. The line is available in natural finish in the 10x60 format - for several original flooring compositions - and in the large 20x120 one, which emphasizes the visual power of each project.
A look inspired by the 50s and 60s, Groove is the tile collection in the 8x32 format. The surface creates decided and dynamics compositions in the space, following the rhythm of the latest interior design trends. Blurred colors and eye-catching shades evoke the effect of handcrafted products according to ancient ceramic techniques, enhanced by a special glossy effect. The range of Groove offers 6 different colors and a softly irregular glaze, rich of bright hues that light up the atmosphere in residential and commercial spaces.
The porcelain stoneware surface of Lin_Side of Edilgres instead proposes a particular woven effect which follows the micro undulations of linen wefts, together with a contemporary and expressive cement effect base. With this collection, the ceramic pays homage to a new form of naturalness, full of strength and personality, in five colors.
Campani offers the new line LeTavole: a wood effect porcelain stoneware, each surface tells a unique and delicate story. The 5 colors faithful to the natural wood essences give life to surfaces adaptable to different styles, also for the presented formats: in addition to the small 10x30, the charm of wood is expressed in all its power in the large 20x120 size, which enhances the soft and blurred veins of the wood.
