After the success achieved at FuoriSalone 2016 with SmartSlab Table, the futuristic table prototype with a ceramic surface and digital controls, made by the studio Kram/Weisshaar in collaboration with Iris Ceramica Group, the new brand SapienStone dedicated to porcelain stoneware kitchen countertops launched by the Group has made its official entry into the market.
The brand launch occurred during the last Cersaie 2016 by using the multimedia installation "Dress your kitchen", which included, among other things, the inauguration of the collaboration with the Spanish company TBP Top Porzelanik Barcelona®, producer of TPB tech®, an innovative countertop that uses the porcelain stoneware SapienStone offering direct possibility of induction cooking. In fact, the product includes the latest generation of inductors and touch controls inserted into the same top, eliminating the crystal plates and incorporating cooking zone and countertop.
The new brand of the Italian holding company aims at exploiting the technical know-how of the ceramic material opening it to kitchens, both in commercial and residential areas.
Designed to meet the hardest requirements in terms of resistance, hygiene and durability, the kitchen countertops SapienStone ensure high performance, besides a pleasant aesthetic. Basalt Black, Basalt Cream, Urban Antracite, Urban Argento, Uni Ice, Malm Black, Malm Grey, Bianco Lasa, Calacatta Statuario and Calacatta: these are the ten available textures that reinterpret fine marble, natural stones and cement, declined on large porcelain stoneware plates, 320x150 cm, characterized by a standard thickness of 12 mm or, for some versions, 20 mm. Manufactured in full body colors with streaks resembling marble, the countertops reproduce the surface grains even in the slab, ensuring a realistic effect and preserving the appearance of the product over time.
Moreover, the line is also suitable for the outdoor use, thus meeting the performance requirements even with the exposure to sunlight and atmospheric agents.
