As in the past, AGROB BUCHTAL took the opportunity of the internationally leading BAU trade fair for presenting novelties such as the series TAJO, which is launched on the market everywhere as of January 2013.
Among other things, the creation was inspired by artfully intertwined textiles of the haute couture as well as silkily shimmering wall hangings. These highly topical trends from the domains of fashion and interior design were ceramically interpreted in an expressive manner:
TAJO creates a truly unpretentious atmosphere, which is impressive because of a subtly dosed extravagance and high individuality. Typical characteristics are glossy snow-white wall tiles and the decorative element STREAM:
– Motif 1 (niche with wash-basin) shows the mono-colour TEAL,
– Motif 2 (on the left and in the middle) the iridescent pastel variant SOFT COLOUR.
A snow-white wall tile in the format of 30 x 60 cm forms the basis, which intentionally has a glossy surface in order to allow for the desired expressiveness mentioned in this way. The other elements of the series follow this intention self-confidently and consistently:
The decoration STREAM – also in the format of 30 x 60 cm and glossy – is offered in three mono-colours: a clear SNOW-WHITE, a mystic TEAL, a distinguished SMOKY-GREY as well as the iridescent pastel variant SOFT COLOUR. The “distinctive” common feature in the true sense of the word is the dynamically curved relief, which not only is an eye-catcher but almost an invitation to touch it. This three-dimensional surface is then refined by up to three firing processes and additional glass print. The result of these complex processes is correspondingly impressive: STREAM conveys luxurious geometry and lasting value in conjunction with playful ease and thus permits the stylish accentuation of niches, projections, consoles, room dividers, shear walls and other partial areas.
The decorative element STREAM in detail (Motif 3: mono-colour SNOW-WHITE / Motif 4: iridescent pastel variant SOFT COLOUR):
The dynamically curved relief is designed for laying independent of formats and joints. The artful intertwining is not only pleasing to the eyes, but is also haptically attractive. The three-dimensional surface is refined by up to three firing processes and additional glass print. In this way, a luxurious geometry is created which conveys a charming and capricious impression.
Similar effects in filigree form are obtained with the rectangular mosaic, which is supplied on sheets ready-made in-plant in the size of 30 x 30 cm in order to support an efficient and proper laying. The three colours SNOW-WHITE, SEA-GREEN and LAVA-GREY correspond with the three mono-colours of the decorative element STREAM, so that comprehensive room concepts can be realized.
As floor tiles, the colours DEEP ANTHRACITE and MID-GREY of the series EMOTION are recommended, which harmonize with TAJO not only with regard to the formats (30 x 60 and 60 x 60 cm), but also the look.
The new creation especially appeals to persons who like expressive designs which underline the individual character by visual volume and subtly dosed extravagance.

This series just as the large part of the entire range (as far as technically possible) is also provided with HT. This revolutionary coating lends ceramic tiles special characteristics: they are extremely easy to clean, have an antibacterial effect without using chemical products and eliminate unwelcome odours as well as air pollutants. HT saves time and money and makes an important contribution to environmental protection.
