From the birth of Brutalism onwards, building materials have
lost their purely functional connotation and become a design and
architectural style in their own right.
The same vision is true of Modulo, the Quintessenza Ceramiche
collection inspired by the form and shape of basic construction
materials, like bricks. Contemporary and sophisticated, these
small format porcelain stoneware tiles are ideal for both
residential and retail spaces.
In terms of its material texture and visual appeal,
Modulo flirts with the style of perforated bricks
Modulo is available in two surface structures, one smooth
(Modulo Base) and one ribbed (Modulo Inciso), a formal tribute
to the brickwork it is inspired by. The collection is completed
by “Tondi” decorative tiles featuring small gloss-glaze buttons
that imitate the holes in perforated bricks.
The matt surfaces of these tiles absorb light to enhance the
purity of the collection’s five colours: classic brick, elegant
coal, powder grey, chalk white and an intense moss green.
