Press Release – February 2016

Latest Tile Trends, in Porcelain and Ceramic from leading supplier Minoli…

Minoli, importer and supplier of porcelain and ceramic tile is launching its new collections for 2016. Although many of these were previewed to leading designers and developers in December, the stunning new ranges are now becoming available to the general market and are available to view in the London or Oxford showrooms, online, or in newly produced literature.

DreamWell
A new range of Italian produced porcelain, which as well as having the standard sizes (standard for Minoli who are leaders in the oversize tile market) has the new 150 x 75 and 120 x 120 sizes, pioneered by Minoli in the Iconic Series in 2014. Stock colours will include White, Pearl and Gray.

DreamWell also has some truly unique features as mosaic accessories, a remarkable Herringbone feature for floor or walls and many mosaic and decorative options. This is a unique modern contemporary tile range, which is neither harsh nor soft; the surface itself creates a subtle and almost harmonious feel tying together work and living spaces. Like many of the more recent additions to the Minoli Italian Porcelain collections, such as BraveStone and LakeStone this series has the option of inside and outside use with the additional advantage where required of the 20mm Lastra external specialist tile.

 

BraveStone
A new range of porcelain tiles, available in both standard and large formats with a full complement of mosaics and accessories. Stock colours will include Pearl, Gypsum, Grey and White. Offering these new items in 30 x 60 and 60 x 60 with prompt availability, as well as the new large sizes of 75 x 150 and 75 x 75 on a very short order period form production.

The BraveStone replicates the delicacies of a soft natural stone, with new modern colours and a practical yet beautiful surface finish. Like many of the more recent additions to the Minoli Italian Porcelain collections, this series has the option of inside and outside use with the additional advantage where required of the 20mm Lastra external specialist tile.

The Light “Brush Hammered “effect offers an almost “third dimensional” effect that allows light to show the definitions of the surface, yet appear simple and minimal.

TwelveNoon
Received at preview as the standout launch for 2016, the new Minoli TwelveNoon wood effect tile range, is considered the ultimate example of the recently pioneered wood effect in porcelain tile. This new example, TwelveNoon is part of the genre of exceptional design, colour blends and with the addition of polished features incorporated within the collection.

The sizes, so as to fully replicate the wood it is influenced by are set at 20 x 120, but there are pre-cut chevron versions which create truly dramatic effects upon the floor, or wall receiving the TwelveNoon. The polished version, with its almost mirror like surface, a true innovation within the wood look genre also works to great effect when combined with the matt natural versions, mixed irregularly upon a floor or wall surface.

Stock colours will include Daylight and Ember, as well as the Honey, in Matt Natural finish, 120 x 20.

As with many of the new series being introduced for 2016, the availability of unique pieces, mosaic and Lastra external tiles makes this series ideal for developers, residential projects and commercial installation.

 

Evolution Etic
Minoli Evolution Etic… has evolved with the addition for 2016 of new colours and new finishes, notably the remarkable Lappato polished finish. This wood effect, one of the original Minoli collections, produced in Italy to exceptionally high standards, has led the way in porcelain wood effect in recent years, but has now had an injection of new colours and finishes to meet the growing demand for wood effect in more and more unique installations.

New stock ranges, in 22,5 x 90 cm size will include  Venice and Hickory, with other items available promptly including the stunning polished. There are of course a multitude of accessories and mosaics finish pieces available.

Minoli Adds New Ranges to 2016 Contemporary Essential Collection AllOver
With  the Minoli Annual Home House preview ranges all being prepared for launch from stock, there is another range that was not quite ready for preview in December, but we are delighted to be able to official launch this stunning new range of polished (Lux) porcelain now.

The new Minoli AllOver Series of Italian polished (Lux) and Natural rectified porcelain

This remarkable range has a unique look, which could be a marble look, or an unusual stone, depending on the colour and almost the angle of view.

Colours and finishes include polished (Lux) and matt, White, Grey and Dark. There is also a coordinating mosaic tile.

Special pieces will also be available in 75 x150 polished – Lux  and the main colours will also be available in the larger 75 x 75 Polished (Lux) both to order.

Very much in the way in which Minoli Evolution Marvel and Minoli Gotha have been received so well for the remarkable recreation of natural stones and marbles, this new collection AllOver has all of the features of these very successful collections, but with a slightly different focus , giving a classic , yet modern feel – that is also truly luxurious.

New Core Essential “Wood Effect“ Porcelain Range Tree-Charme & Tree-Age

New collections of wood effect by Minoli, Tree-Age a range comprising of four stock colours and Tree-Charme a range comprising of two stock colours.

Tree-Age, 10 x 70, Italian Porcelain in White, Brown, Grey and Anthracite. These items could be identified as being both contemporary and refined, with a modernity of style that highlights the rustic origins of wood that inspired the designs.

Tree-Charme, 10 x 70 Italian Porcelain, in White and Beige. The range has a fascinating beauty, a reflection of the natural inspiration of wood, designed for the modern design styles, being both refined but also retaining natural beauty.

With these new ranges falling within the Minoli Core essential range, they are most competitive and ideal for house builders, developers and residential projects.

Commenting, Jonathon Minoli, Managing Director at Minoli, said: “With our exciting new products, we are changing the way interior designers and developers think about porcelain tiles. These collections open the door for a variety of new applications and will enable designers to create schemes that are truly unique.”
