RAK Ceramics and Roberto Cavalli: the new collection debuts at Cersaie 2026
A European preview in Bologna
RAK Ceramics is unveiling its collaboration with Roberto Cavalli in a European preview at Cersaie in Bologna (September 21-25, 2026). This marks the second chapter in the company's luxury positioning journey, launched in 2021 with the Elie Saab partnership, and confirms the group's commitment to engaging with creative universes capable of redefining the contemporary concept of lifestyle. The collection joins House of Brands, RAK's platform dedicated to collaborations with international fashion labels.
Two identities, one shared language
The alliance brings together two distant yet complementary worlds: on one side, the bold, sensual and magnetic aesthetic of Roberto Cavalli; on the other, the industrial excellence and technological innovation of RAK Ceramics. The result is a range of surfaces, coverings and wellness solutions in which ceramic becomes a defining element of the project, with fluid veining and sophisticated textures that evoke the primal force of nature without ever being literal. The maison's iconic motifs emerge with balance and restraint, like precious details surfacing from within the material — a calibrated dialogue between decorative intensity and formal purity, designed for prestige residences, contract spaces and high-end hospitality.
Onice: the precious stone reinterpreted
The Onice collection brings the timeless beauty of the namesake stone together with Cavalli's bold spirit, reinterpreting its chromatic richness, depth and natural luminosity. Delicate veining runs across the surfaces, creating refined solutions designed for contemporary, elegant spaces. Available in 120x120 cm, 120x280 cm and 60x120 cm formats, all in 9 mm thickness.
Alongside the main line, Onice Zebra Decor (120x280 cm, 9 mm) is the decorative variant that combines onyx's fluid effect with the graphic rhythm of zebra-inspired patterns: bold contrasts and strong visual dynamism turn the surface into a distinctive element of the interior design project.
Moonlight: a landscape suspended between light and night
Moonlight evokes a dreamlike landscape suspended between light and imagination. Cool, luminous tones, enriched by delicate chromatic nuances, recall the quiet atmosphere of a Mediterranean night lit by moonlight. The soft, almost ethereal composition dissolves contours, creating an effect of fluid depth, as if the garden were reflecting the moon's shifting glow. Single format: 120x280 cm, 9 mm.
The company's voices
"The collaboration with Roberto Cavalli is part of a broader strategic path the company has undertaken, focused on dialogue with some of the most influential designers on the international scene," explains Abdallah Massaad, CEO of RAK Ceramics Group, recalling that the journey began in 2021 with the agreement signed with Elie Saab. Leonardo De Muro, Corporate Vice President Int'l Business Development, Marketing and Communication, adds that this step strengthens the company's positioning in the luxury segment, consolidating an identity capable of combining production excellence, technological innovation and design culture.
