Marks left by time: degraded materials, wear, layering.

The faded wall fresco, damp stains in plaster.
Designed to cover indoor – and in some cases outdoor – surfaces, the large sheets that make up the “Storie” collection are ceramic fields where the skilful and organised mixture of pigments are manifested in astonishing colour shading effects with a visual expressiveness inspired by the slow and fascinating fading over time of plasters and masonry decorations in traditional Italian architecture. In the soft liquidity of their colours, these porcelain stoneware sheets redefine the figure of an elegant modernity in the ceramics area.
«Technological innovation enables us to reproduce on large-sized ceramic materials all the effects of wear and stratification that normally only time is able to create.» Giorgia Zanellato & Daniele Bortotto
