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.

It is a refuge for the daily stress where you manage the rules.

The combination capacity of the Provence Collection is almost infinite. With Digne-B model, we can integrate any element that will be enhanced thanks to its delicate sparkles. In this case, the room is completed by the warm tones of the Antigua-R wood.

Stone and wood natural textures, the latest trend in ceramic tiles by Cifre Group

Textures: stone

Ceramics have achieved an awesome level of mimesis. Almost every texture or print can be imitated perfectly by ceramics, giving us thousand of decoration possibilities.

Terraces or outdoors can be ideal for the Teide series. Its mosaics represent bigger stones than the Scale series, making it better for wider spaces.

Ceramics textures: wood

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.

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.

TAU Group’s S3 CREATES “ONNES”, THE MEDITERRANEAN URBAN TERRACE

Through the combined efforts of S3 TAU and Carmen Baselga_Studio workshop, a new concept of URBAN TERRACE has been born, pushing forward the development of integrated solutions for public and private urban spaces.

S3 TAU created this product to solve the problems created by uneven and irregular surfaces, thus allowing the utilization of urban spaces and terraces previously unusable or only usable with considerable difficulty. Also incorporated within the product is CIVIS’ TERMIA technology, permitting the creation of heated outdoor spaces.

This outdoor environment is completed not only by tables whose touch sensitive ceramic surface allows one to, amongst other things, keep plates warm or call the waiter simply by touching the table surface; but also through the integration of vegetation into the environment, both vertically and via covered surfaces.

Thanks to the advantages provided by the S3 TAU WAYTEC SYSTEM, specialists in environmental design will be able to create urban terraces and rooftop areas that are eminently usable, warm and comfortable, as well as aesthetically pleasing.

The TAU Group’s S3 – Smart Surface Systems – division specialises in using innovative solutions for the living environment to improve quality of life. These solutions are developed based upon the premises of Design for All or People-Oriented Design, so that the user is a key part of all projects

The Spanish tile company PERONDA summoned more than 400 architects, interior designers and designers to an event in St. Petersburg around art, fashion and ceramics.

Imagination, art, design, fashion and differentiation are five values that in recent years have characterized all public events organized by Peronda in Spain and abroad. Under this premise, the manufacturer has excelled himself with an exclusive event that took place at Taleon Club Hotel in St. Petersburg (Russia).

The meeting was attended by over 400 architects, interior designers and designers who enjoyed an evening full of surprises. In order to captivate these customers, two spaces were fitted out by the company. On the one hand, an exhibition area for showing the strong connection between its ceramic and art, and on the other hand, prepared a runway to highlight the growing links between the firm and fashion.


During the presentation specifiers were detailed the projects Peronda has made as a result of its close relation to artistic groups. This is the case of the artist Peter Müller’s pictures that have been reproduced on ceramics, thanks to NCT HD technology. There were also presented customized porcelain models of Fashion Art by Manuel Fernández, in which Peronda also cooperated. 

After visiting the exhibition, the 400 guests went into the Peronda runway, where several fashion collections inspired by the pottery firm were shown. The models wore classic, contemporary and avant-garde designs, while environments and spaces covered with the latest collections of the company were displayed on giant screen.

The staging fascinated the audience that, henceforth, will not forget the positive connotations transmitted by Peronda in St. Petersburg.

The event closed with a cocktail in which were served typical products from Spain as well as wine and champagne. in the meantime guests enjoyed various performances and a show combining dances, music and colourful lighting effects.
