S-Tiles - classico

THE CLASSIC STYLE

Cotto is certainly the material that has always been used to ‘warm up’ the environment and to carry on prestigious restoration interventions in historical buildings. It characterises a classic atmosphere. This, however, thoroughly suits also the most recent interpretation of contemporary residential architecture. An example for everybody is the project by Ettore Sottsass jr. with Impruneta coverings. Here the Cotto’s warm tone, coupled with the Marezzato highlights well the feeling of warmth as a memory, a habit, but also aesthetically dense colour and material.

In general, Cotto recalls a culture of ‘hand-made’ product and of a finishing that communicates a know-how passed on through the ages and through different generations. Starting from this value of ‘timeless material’ – gained both thanks to its durability but also for the cultural heritage – the Cotto is perceived (rightly or wrongly) as the most eco-friendly among the ceramic materials.

Cotto is not the only possibility to ‘warm up’, for instance, a nice living room. Nowadays there are tiles to satisfy the most sophisticated tastes. The variety of glazes and unglazed tiles on the market makes it possible to obtain a range of colours and decorations, which is practically limitless. For instance, advanced technology has created ceramic granite, a material with the typical properties of natural stone. With through-bodied vein effects similar to those of marble and granite, it is very often applied in those classic style environments where there is a need of high aesthetical standards and workable solutions.
