It is designed as a harmonious overall concept for creative application in homes and public buildings. The design is inspired by the distinctive colours, large and small veining and natural pockets of Jura marble. The tiles are divided into two colour lines with matching cut décors: the warm beige-brown line has classical round forms, while the cool grey line has timeless geometric patterns. The diverse structures and colours of the marble-look ASTORIA range give it a strong natural appearance. The result is a lively and interesting finish – on both floors and walls. The matt and rough-polished surface and interesting décors on these large-format tiles produce fascinating patterns that give depth and breadth to any room. ASTORIA is made of vilbostone porcelain stoneware and is available in 37.5 x 75 cm and 75 x 75 cm formats. There is also a 5 x 5 cm mosaic in all colours on 37.5x 37.5 cm mats, ideal for walk-in showers. Cut décors in both colour lines and 7.5 x 7.5 cm strip skirting in all six colours round off the range. The varied decorations and harmonious overall effect create a stylish atmosphere in large living rooms, high-end bathrooms and elegant wellness areas. ASTORIA is made for those who appreciate homely, classic opulent or modern restrained interiors and prefer authentic materials. It also offers diverse design options for public buildings.
