Lavica by Ceramiche Keope pays tribute to the majesty and raw power of nature. This porcelain stoneware series captures the essence of Sicilian lava stone, embodying its most authentic character. Each piece pays tribute to an ancient world, with surfaces reminiscent of the textures of volcanic rock, serving as a tangible reminder of the earth’s remarkable ability to regenerate and inspire new narratives every day.
With its seductive textures and colours, the collection beautifully captures the essence of lava stone, bringing the timeless charm of Sicily into contemporary homes and spaces. With skill and dedication, Ceramiche Keope has created a tribute to Sicily that represents a metaphorical bridge between past and present and a harmonious blend of nature’s raw power and modern design innovation.
Graphics and structure intertwine in a harmonious dance, creating a modern aesthetic that balances minimalistic backgrounds with captivating decorative elements. The colour palette, composed of the three austere shades Grey, Anthracite and Black, captures the depth of lava stone and offers sophisticated reflections that captivate the gaze.
The Lavica decorations, created in collaboration with Bluma Studio in Milan, draw inspiration from the rich tapestry of traditions, shapes and colours that define Sicily. This decorative tile collection celebrates craftsmanship and comes in four colour versions and four different graphic designs created using the traditional third-firing technique. Every piece is a small work of art, designed to enhance projects and provide endless opportunities for customising spaces.
The series is available in a wide range of sizes from 7.5×60 cm to 120×278 cm, ideal for ensuring uniform and seamless coverage in spaces with a striking aesthetic impact. The Spazzolato R10 brushed finish features a subtle textured effect that captures the authenticity of the original material, while the Silky finish offers a smooth, soft surface that is exceptionally pleasant to the touch. For outdoor applications, the series includes the non-slip Strutturato R11 textured finish, which ensures both safety and ease of maintenance.
