Panaria Ceramica’s Inspirations for Different Aesthetic Approaches
Panaria Ceramica’s Inspirations for Different Aesthetic Approaches
When starting to design a home, the goal is to give the spaces within it a clear stylistic identity and the first step is always related to selecting the materials that will establish the project’s harmonious direction. Selecting the surfaces for the floors is fundamental, as is choosing the colours or coverings for the walls and the lighting solutions, not to mention the finish of the furniture and the arrangement of both the interior and exterior spaces. To this end, through the combination of lines, shapes, colours, and tactile sensations, the furniture and interior design sector has, over the years, codified styles and paradigms that precisely define atmospheres and aesthetics. Vintage, hygge, Mediterranean, classic, and industrial are just some of the aesthetic trends that have been central to the work of interior designers. Each of these styles comes with its own set of guidelines for combining colours, materials, and architectural forms.
In this creative process, porcelain stoneware is a versatile material that serves as a backdrop for projects with a distinct and well-defined aesthetic, but which are also contemporary and timeless. Thanks to the most innovative technologies and various thicknesses, it is, in fact, possible to realistically mimic the texture of the finest woods, the brilliance and depth of the rarest marbles, the tactile appeal of the most captivating stones, and the lustre of the widest variety of metals.
For 50 years, Panaria Ceramica has been synonymous with contemporary living, especially in the residential sector. The brand expertly interprets various styles and offers versatile collections that can be used in any home environment.
Via Maestra for a Mediterranean-Inspired Home
To design a home inspired by the Mediterranean coasts, certain elements are essential: colours and materials that recall the sea and shoreline. These transform spaces into little oases of relaxation, establishing a vacation-like vibe where one can bask in the warmth of the sun, even in the middle of the city.
Via Maestra is a stone-look collection that offers a unique and masterful natural look. The veining that criss-crosses the surface is subtle and nuanced, adding movement, depth, and three-dimensionality. Lighter striations create an understated and elegant contrast with the darker portions, drawing the eye to the very core of the material. With Via Maestra it’s possible to seamlessly integrate indoor and outdoor spaces, maintaining aesthetic continuity thanks to surfaces of traditional thickness and 20mm-thick tiles, perfect for balconies, terraces, and gardens with a Mediterranean flair.
Vintage Charm with the Modern Look of Perpetual and Even
Vintage style is able to take elements from the past and incorporate them in the present, through iconic pieces or nostalgic patterns, making them feel extremely contemporary. An example is flooring featuring geometric shapes or contrasts between black and white that recall the atmosphere of the 1920s, reminiscent of “The Great Gatsby”.
It also features patterns and decorations inspired by those seen in homes from the 1960s and ‘70s which, when combined with a more modern style, add dynamics and colour even to individual portions of the home.
Perpetual defies the passage of time, using marble-look ceramic as the distinctive aesthetic element in visually striking environments. Five marble textures that celebrate the beauty of nature through contrasting patterns and elegant variations in colours.
Even offers material depth and intense colour, available in six complementary shades that can be seamlessly coordinated with all of Panaria Ceramic’s flooring collections. Its patterns, inspired by traditional designs, geometric shapes, and the motifs of antique cement tiles, are perfect for creating evocative vintage-style atmospheres and meeting various individual interior design needs.
Hygge in the Home with the Warmth of Kairos’ Wood-Look Ceramic
The term “hygge” indicates a general sense of well-being derived from life’s simple daily pleasures. The words that define this lifestyle are simplicity, intimacy, and warmth, aspects that are reflected in the aesthetic principles of home living that this concept inspires.
Kairos is a wood-look collection that celebrates the passage of time. It captures the essence of oak planks in warm and inviting tones, exalting the allure of continuous evolution through a complex texture that recreates knots, scratches, cuts, and filled fissures with remarkable realism. This extremely natural wood-look collection offers a solution for decorating one’s home with a simple, yet warm and welcoming, style, especially if paired with neutral shades.
Blade as a Variation of Industrial Style
Industrial aesthetics continue to fascinate, even as new interpretations evolve, in which softer lines meet colour and the lustre of metals plays an important role in the tactile experience.
Blade is a metal-look collection that combines the elegance of over-sized laminated porcelain stoneware slabs with the perfection of metallic surfaces. It’s characterised by warm tones and luminous elements, simulating the effects of oxidation to create five dynamic and vibrant colours. The large 100x300 cm format, with a thickness of just 3.5 mm, offers solutions for characteristically industrial or contemporary interior design projects, brightening environments and, thanks to its decorative effect, making each space feel truly unique and personalised. The ultra-thin Zero.3 slabs are inherently sustainable, using few materials and less energy during production and, thanks to the THINk ZERO project, fully offsetting all CO2 emissions produced throughout the product’s entire lifecycle.
