Azteca Ceramica presents its FC Barcelona football team ceramic tiles.



Azteca Ceramica and FC Barcelona have reached an agreement to create the first official collection of FC Barcelona football team ceramic wall and floor tiles. The world launch took place at Cersaie Exhibition 2012, the most important ceramics trade fair in the sector, held at the end of September.


The Spanish company Azteca reached an agreement with the club whereby images of the players as well as the club’s badge and other murals with group poses, will be produced in this new support system.
In total, two types of formats of floor tiles have been designed:  31 x 31 cm. in red body, and 45 x 45 cm. in porcelain tile. The pieces for wall tiles are in 30 x 60 cm white body.


Azteca has pioneered the introduction of football passion into the ceramic tile market. By incorporating the Barça team image in the manufacture of ceramic tiles, the company has covered the two giants of the Spanish League, since they already launched Real Madrid football team tile collection at the beginning of 2012.


The product is aimed at distinct markets, from the Club itself to the fans who wish to bring their passion into the tiles of their homes, not forgetting the fan clubs, hotels, restaurants or diverse types of businesses that wish to express their support for the Spanish team in an original and exclusive way.

Yugo and Faro series by Vives Ceramica: Making a difference


All collections should have at least one product which makes its range special and different. Yugo, part of the Bunker collection, plays this role making an instant impact with its vivid colours which are highlighted when placed together with the neutral base tiles named Faro.

This collection is especially interesting due to its appearance replicating aged wood that has been worn down by the elements, giving each piece an individual character. This helps give a warmth and vanguard look to any room where it is used in conjunction with the Bunker range. 

Faro and Yugo are porcelain tiles and available in sizes of 14,4x89,3cm. The Timon and Cincel special pieces should also be highlighted as they help create even more originality.

Peronda Ceramica in the heart of Madrid and Valencia Fashion Weeks

With Juan Vidal at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Madrid


The designer Juan Vidal presented on Sunday the 2nd of September his new spring / summer 2013 collection in the former Lamarca carriage factory in the center of Madrid, which gathered more than 220 guests. Designed by Peronda Ceramics, the catwalk was made of ceramic tiles with the collection patterns, which along with the lighting and vintage furniture by Francisco Segarra created a unique environment to present "Candela ".


The black, yellow, orange and red mix with multicolored print. Opulent details of embroidered glass flowers and raffia sunflowers enriched with hand embroidery.
The outfit was completed by black maxi bags with big bows and high heels in leather and multicolored print, plus necklaces and bracelets adorned with flowers in glass and metal finishes.


Among the guests, alongside actor Jesus Olmedo, actress Noelia Garmendia. Lola Marceli and singer Sara Vega were also supporting the brand, as well as actress Tania Llasera.


This project has had the entire PERONDA group fully engaged, because everybody has been working with great enthusiasm so that the Juan Vidal catwalk in Zone Off at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Madrid was a success.
The constant collaboration, exchange of ideas and the use of a common language has resulted in a ceramic model presented in premiere as the basis for PERONDA.

The great attendance of media, excellent critique of the specialized media and the warm welcome from the audience to Candela, are evidence that the hard work and perseverance pays off in all sectors and, once again, PERONDA becomes the trendy alternative in the ceramic sector.


"Formentera" by Peronda @ Valencia Fashion Week

Quality, creativity and avantgarde are three of the reasons why Valencia Fashion Week, held from the 13th  to 15th  September, has become a must visit destination for fashion lovers, and that is why PERONDA CERAMICAS never misses the appointment.

As usual, the brand contributed his bit to the aesthetic proposals of the event: PERONDA placed a piece of Formentera amid the vilage of Valencia Fashion Week. The typical 70's Volkswagen van along with ceramic models of sophisticated hippie aesthetics: Mediterranean prints, jean fabrics, English flags... the summary of a lifestyle that you can now bring inside our home.

Workshop of Emotions by famous chef Paco Roncero and TAU Ceramica

By interpreting the genius of the internationally renowned chef, a unique space in the world has been created where the culinary art and technological innovation come together to provide a complete living experience, unknown so far. A place where ceramic, with its many possibilities, has a prominent role.
TAU S3 PacoRoncero Keraon spanish ceramic tiles
Workshop of Emotions by chef Paco Roncero
This is a project entirely carried out by TAU Ceramica, through its S3 division, which conceived and implemented the entire space, its constructive elements and ambient intelligence.

Opened at the beginning of the summer for a few privileged guests, the workshop is the result of two years of intense work between Paco Roncero and his team and S3 division of TAU Ceramica, with the collaboration of the prestigious interior designer Carmen Baselga and a select group of companies in the field of décor and design.

Only for eight people and by exclusive invitation by the chef, Roncero’s "magic box" contains in its just 50 square meters the essence of true luxury by offering the privileged audience the chance to feel and live differently in each show. The heart of the workshop is HISIA, a ceramic "smart" table of about 6 meter long made of TAU’s Keraon, a ceramic material used exclusively on furniture with interactive elements and embedded sensors with Civis' Sense system technology. It is also covered by an advanced audiovisual projection system and features a show cooking area, hot-cold segments and the capacity to shake, without any contact, the content of dishes and glasses.

Oleotec for olive oil tasting


The table is flanked by two sophisticated motorized arms with 3D screens, an articulated interactive whiteboard that "appears" from the ceiling only when needed, sophisticated kitchen furnishings, of Lebana brand by TAU Group, with the latest models of ovens, refrigerators, wine racks and an imposing “Oleotec” (also made of Keraon) including 216 test tubes for tasting olive oil, the chef’s fetish ingredient.

The flooring of the entire space has been made combining S3-TAU building systems, Drysystem and Civis Thermia, to offer the greatest thermal comfort and the flexibility of an accessible raised technical floor to hide the enormous amount of wiring (over 20 Km) which controls the whole system: the surface finish is TAU’s white porcelain and the shade has been reproduced in all the workshop elements, walls and certified organic wood furniture.

HISIA ceramic "smart" table and exclusive eight seats
The room offers the possibility of creating 16,000 chromatic atmospheres and realistic moving holograms, as well as controlling the temperature and relative humidity, scenting the ambience and offering adapted acoustic experiences. You can create different scenes matching with the gastronomic discourse, simulate exotic landscapes, provoke vivid memories of old times and generate illusions of stories yet to be live for the visitors, a real "LivingLab" in the culinary field.

With this project S3-TAU consolidates its contribution to the definition of new possibilities for contemporary home and especially in the sector of hotels and restaurants.

Vives Ceramica tiles in national and international architecture projects


Over the recent months Vives Ceramica has dressed with its products interesting construction projects nationally and internationally. Hotels, restaurants, spas and designer apartments have relied on the design, versatility, style and performance of the newest ceramic coverings by Vives to coat walls, floors, façades and common areas.

At the elegant Hotel Barceló Albatros in Majorca the project has managed to create spaces that are formal whilst maintaining a modern twist. One of the products selected has been the new ceramic wood Kinda Natural in the 60x60 format used to dress the floor helping it to give the area a VIVES personality.

In Mollet del Vallés (Barcelona) the centre Nya Spa y Bellesa has chosen the ceramic wood series Orsa to cover floor and walls with the sole objective of creating a relaxed atmosphere.

The vegetarian and rural hotel “La Fuente del Gato” located in a village in Madrid, has relied on Vives Pergola floor range 14x28cm, and the 1900 series 20x20 to personalize its spaces. VIVES floor tiles emphasise the building's artistic character. This hotel prides itself on offering a personal service, based on warmth and comfort within its facilities.

Another hotel that han chosen Vives products is the Kadrit in Zaragoza. The aim is to provide an unforgettable and relaxing stay and this has been helped with the use of one of its porcelain floor tile collections, Exedra 60x120 cm, and combining mosaic. Its expression to the beauty of stone helps captivate the public.


At international scale, Vives Cerámica boosts its presence in Macedonia with the participation in two projects: on one hand, the refurbishment of the Metropolitan Lounge Restaurant, one of the most vibrant bars to visit in Skopje. Stone Design team of architects and interior designers selected the Kenion 60x60 porcelain tile to cover the floor spaces around bars and counters. For the bathrooms they chose the Güell series 20x20 of gres 1900 Collection. On the other hand, Vives has also participated in the avant-garde design of a singular flat. The porcelain range Atalaya wall tiles 8,1x41,5cm were used in the living room.

Another important project is the Cosmopolite Hotel in Kiev (Ukraine) where the Hypnos collection has been chosen. The format used was a highly polished 43.5x43.5cm porcelain tile to reflect the interior light and to consolidate a space with harmony.

These national and international projects are an excellent bridge to promote Vives Ceramica new trends and applications
