CERAMICA SALONI BRINGS A REFINED AIR OF DISTINCTION TO POLAND’S MARINE HOTEL

Cerámica Saloni, a Spanish leader in the design, manufacture and sale of ceramic tiles, was involved in the refurbishment of the elegant deluxe Marine Hotel in Poland. On this occasion, the Life series was used. 

Marine Hotel, owned by the "Zdrojowa Invest group", is an impressive complex on the Baltic shore, where art and modernity combine with sea views to create a peaceful, relaxing setting. Its architecture is unusual, based on asymmetrical shapes, with false ceilings and numerous polished concrete features, aimed at creating a building with a carefully-conceived solid, futuristic design. 

The Life series by Cerámica Saloni was chosen to infuse the building with a stylish touch of distinction. These 80x80cm large-format porcelain tiles lend its surfaces a majestic, spacious feel. Thanks to Life’s outstanding resistance, it is ideal for outdoor areas and public spaces. 

With its elegant-looking pattern, Life’s glossy finish brings a trend-setting appeal to buildings. The series comes in a choice of three colours: beige, white and black.

TALLER DE CERÁMICA ARTÍSTICA DE L’ALCORA, DECORATIVE POTTERY WITH 18th CENTURY TRADITION

TALLER DE CERÁMICA ARTÍSTICA DE L’ALCORA (Artistic Ceramics Workshop) is devoted to the manufacture and sale of ceramic art of the Count of Aranda from the 18th century in Alcora, who created a large ceramics factory in the village, which means the beginning of the ceramics tradition in this Castellon town.

In January 2009 Taller de Cerámica Artística de l’Alcora was born, hoping to retrieve a new, risky and excited stage, which continues with dignity the artistic and cultural legacy left by the Conde de Aranda in the village, and with the aim to continue being a provincial reference worldwide.

From the hand of the potter Lidón Mor, with experience that supports a good knowledge of ceramics, several national awards and entirely hand-made work, 
they manufacture pieces that are worthy of being in museum display, with an effort to preserve ancient artistic forms and techniques, and the faithful reproduction of the original models.

Their customers are generally pottery connoisseurs and lovers from all over the world, especially since the ceramic collectors are represented in many of the world's museums.

Each piece is decorated with a very detailed technique and mostly handcrafted throughout the manufacturing process, with craftsman warranty certificate, so our product quality is excellent.
