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

The next few years will bring many changes for wall and floor tiles. CERACASA summarizes the most important ones to keep you informed about the latest trends in design and ceramic solutions.

The best quality proposals, such as those by CERACASA, have to do with the variety and uses of these tile coverings, both for the home and in offices and shops, or in the unique architecture, with facades and large format tiles.

THE SILKIEST STONE THAT... SAVES WATER.

Textures that imitate natural stone are the trend, in light and sand colours with a shade of graphite or almost black, in our series INDUS or SANDSTONE. Its SOFT finish can reduce up to 50% the water consumption for cleaning, because thanks to its vitrified texture it keeps clean longer.

BIGGER FORMATS, LESS GROUT JOINTS

The trend of large formats will be seen in floors around the home or common areas.

It can be installed on floors and walls, indoors or outdoors. The use of these formats minimizes the visual impact of the grout joint, boosting the sense of continuity on the floor or wall.

SHINE: ELEGANCE ABOVE ALL

If we think of the aspect that will set the trend in the coming years, that is the increase in gloss finish on all collections. All kinds Porcelain and wall tiles will be
