This
week on Fab Fact Friday we are looking at the Minoli De-Segni series.
De-Segni tiles are a porcelain stoneware, inspired by the traditional craft of hand-made cement tiles in Italy, using new technologies to combine both the beauty of hand-crafted materials with the technical advances of today’s modern techniques and machinery.
Minoli De-Segni patterned tiles are produced in a small size of 20/20. Patterns are printed on the surface in designs traditional to Italy. Different styles of both floral and geometric motifs are featured throughout the Minoli De-Segni collections. A traditional tile brought into the modern day, making the Minoli De-Segni tiles greatly versatile.
Minoli
firstly introduced the De-Segni range at the annual launch preview of 2018,
held at the grand location of Home House on Portman Square, Marylebone, London
W1, in December of 2017. During the latest preview event evening of 2019,
showcasing the new products for the following year of 2020, a new look from the
De-Segni range was presented.

The most
recent range from De-Segni features two additional looks – De-Segni Osso Blend
11 and 12. These new patterns take on a different look from the previous
collection and provide opposite effects from each other. Minoli De-Segni Osso
Blend 11 features more muted beiges and provides a tonal design pattern, while
De-Segni Osso Blend 12 has a much more distinctive appearance, using darker
tones to create a prominent motif across surfaces.
