Nolita: when a re-invented material becomes architecture

From the roughness of urban design comes the inspiration for the new Mirage porcelain stoneware. The raw concrete emerges with forms, volumes, and structures boasting strong colours and structural expressionism.

With refined beauty and surfaces that evoke the look of exposed raw concrete, Nolita is the expression of a sophisticated and cosmopolitan urban style and is a mix of influences and sources of inspiration distinctive of the modern melting pot.

Nolita enhances the seductiveness of the visual and tactile qualities of raw concrete, which was ennobled by the architectural style known as Béton Brut, which literally means “exposed raw concrete”. The collection is inspired by the traditional craft of working in concrete, which was casted and coloured in small sizes and is now revived by Mirage large porcelain stoneware surfaces featuring high technical performance standards.

Ten different colour tones are available: the tones at the opposite side of the spectrum, Ghost and Street, the warm tones, Avenue and Museum, the neutral shades, Tower, Subway, and Tube, and finally three strong colours, Bridge, Ink, and Apple, for a free choice of colour combinations.
