Nothing says deluxequite like natural stone. It’s timeless and elegant, but not always durable, especially when it comes to softer varieties like marble.Ceramiche Piemmeresponds to this quandary with Opulence, a tile collection that oh-so-accurately apes the look and luster of marble as well as granite and crystal but in hardy, recyclable colored-body porcelain. There are five polished-stone effects in four rectangular and square formats: Pleasure (a mottled black “granite”), Bliss (similar but in white), Eccentric (a goldstreaked murky green), creamy Delight, and ink-blot black-and-white Caprice. There are also three intriguing inlay effects that form elaborate patterns, including Balance, a graphic array of stripes and half-moons. ceramiche-piemme.com

A blank space can mean potential.For the young Ukrainian designer Daria Zinovatnaya, it’s intended to be filled with color. At first glance, the rich shades and geometric shapes on her Soda matte-glazed porcelain tiles forCeramica Bardellimay look chaotically laid out. But actually, the 16 different patterns are intended to fit together in an infinite number of combinations. That’s because they are supplied randomly mixed, leaving it to the designer to assemble them into a suitable field. The 10-inch-square tiles come in three colorways— or “decorative languages,” as Zinovatnaya terms them— dubbed Soda 1, 2, and 3, with neutral solid colors available alongside. They are suitable for floor or wall, indoor or outdoor—anywhere in need of a splash of color. ceramicabardelli.com market kitchen/bath

It’s a diamond anniversary forSub-Zero Group, which just celebrated 75 years. The third-generation family-owned 75 years company based in Madison, Wisconsin, was started in 1945 by self-taught engineer Westye Bakke, who was eager to establish how to refrigerate insulin at a constant temperature for his diabetic son. Today, WOLF DUAL-FUEL RANGE there are 35 showrooms in the U.S., and double that abroad. Across the decades, Sub-Zero has consulted on appliances for Frank Lloyd Wright, adapted technology used by NASA for antimicrobial air purification, and added the Cove dishwasher and Wolf stove and oven brands to the mix. Recent introductions include the Sub-Zero glass-fronted wine storage unit, the Pro Series stainless-steel refrigerator, and the Wolf dual-fuel range. The average product has an eye on sustainability, too, consuming less energy than a 75-watt light bulb.

PROFILE NORM ARCHITECTS

For their second collaboration with fellow Danish firm Norm Architects,Reform focused on one simple element: the handle. That’s the central feature of Profile, a system of kitchen fronts and countertops intended to be used with IKEA kitchen carcasses as well as Reform’s own. The integrated handle has a gently extruded and rounded aluminum profile, lending the design its name, and is available in a white powder-coat or three anodized metallic finishes. It’s recessed within the MDF kitchen fronts, lending the collection a clean, minimalist look. Kitchen fronts come in five subtle tones of matte spray paint: Gray, Dark Gray, Sand, White, and Anthracite. Or choose from dark or natural quarter-sliced European oak veneer. Countertops, meanwhile, can be found in Fenix laminate or a robust ceramic manufactured at high temperatures so hot pans can be placed directly on the surface without damage. reformcph.com

It may come as a surprise

that Nathalie Du Pasquier, a founding member of Memphis, has never designed ceramic tile. Until now, that is.Mutina rights that wrong with Mattonelle Margherita, a glazed porcelain stoneware tile collection for floors and walls. The 41 patterns are an explosion of Du Pasquier’s inimitable skill with color and shape. Full of naïve florals, stars, parallel lines, and deep oranges and reds, dusty blues, and sage greens, they were conceived in just 10 days, then refined during Italy’s springtime lockdown. “Think of a house covered in tiles throughout, tiled floors and walls. . .it would be wonderful!” she muses. “But they’re also an interesting option for skirting or strips, some fairly simple details.” With the latter, more subtle take in mind, she developed a series of paints to specifically complement the collection. mutina.it
