Leading designers in the industry have drawn inspiration from the most sought-after classical marble, as well as interpreting new directions with modern lines and striking colour combinations.
This year has seen the launch of brighter and bolder product palettes and a resurgence in vivid and vibrantly coloured tiles that provide opportunities to create standout installations that draw the eye and stir the imagination.
RANGE OVERVIEW
The Marvel Series captures the eclectic essence of coloured marble and gemstones with such contemporary creativity, resulting in an unrivalled collection of porcelain tiles, extra-large format slabs and decorative mosaics.
The inspiration for the chromatic spectacle this collection creates is truly global with precious stoneware from around the world being studied in elaborate detail to create an exacting representation of the organic originals.
COLOURS AND DESIGNS
We’ve selected eight designs from the Marvel Series that fit into this Colours & Gemstones category:
- Marvel Gala Desert Soul – Resembling South American Quartzite, with a patchwork of desert tones and irregular shapes and shards of white, black, beige and brown, bordered with glistening gold.
- Marvel Gala Amazzonite – Reproducing the turquoise of Brazilian quartzite, with crystalline inclusions that encapsulate the teal tints of tropical seas, interspersed with coral, cream and charcoal.
- Marvel Dream Ultramarine – Reimagining Lapis Lazuli, the electric blue base is pitted with glistening gold and white milky-way markings that deliver remarkable depth and movement.
- Marvel Dream Brazil Green – An intense dark green with iridescent hints of aquatic blues and brilliant gold, Brazil Green makes a bold style statement in the most inventive interior designs.
- Marvel Gala Exotic Green – An enveloping and undulating blend of emerald green and sage, inspired by a stone of Brazilian origin and evoking the colours of tropical forests.
- Marvel Edge Agata Azul – Presenting a surface of cleaved agate gemstones, the softer pale grey and taupe canvas is split with shimmering crystalline inclusions of copper and frosty white.
- Marvel Edge Red Luxury – Drawing inspiration from the Rosso Lepanto marble, with deep tones of garnet and crazed with crystal white veining, this expressive design brings drama and passion to designs.
- Marvel Dream Crystal Beauty – With a rich, russet and smouldering black background, and layers of icy white striations, Crystal Beauty makes a striking statement as a series of magnificent mosaics.
