Celebrating 10 years of its Marvel project, Atlas Concorde’s latest Marvel Gala series is an ode to nature

Ceramic tile brand Atlas Concorde’s Marvel World collection is an extensive series of marble-effect porcelain floor and wall tiles featuring a range of formats, colours and decorative elements that allow the creativity of any interior space to truly shine. The latest in the series is the newly launched Marvel Gala, a bold new collection celebrating the beauty of the natural world.

The brand describes the collection as “marble putting on an evening gown”. It is inspired by five natural stones that aim to redefine and push the boundaries of surfaces used in the making of interior spaces. From marbles, crystals, granites and quartzes featuring bold tones and intense colour schemes, Marvel Gala is as expressive as it is elegant. Its polished finish emphasises the depth of the shading and graphic detailing, while its large format allows for versatility: it can be used as a scenic backdrop, wall cladding or flooring; even as furniture surfaces, from worktops and tables to washbasins. Featuring beige, grey and gold veins, the Crystal White version recalls the sparkle of Alaskan glaciers, while the texture of the Desert Soul reinterprets a quartzite of volcanic rock from South America. Exotic Green features emerald and sage shades, evoking the hues of a tropical forest, while Amazonite features a bright turquoise tone reminiscent of the depths of a tropical seabed. Completing the collection is Calacatta Black, dubbed as the “evening gown of marble-effect tiles”, inspired by Iceland’s volcanic soils and featuring grey and black hues.

One of the greatest attributes of the collection is the freedom to pair it with any other marble effect from the Marvel World series or the Atlas Concorde collections, from concrete and wood to stone-effect designs, allowing for an overwhelming range of stylistic pairings and juxtapositions. www.atlasconcorde.com
