In design and interior furnishing circles we often hear talk of the need and effort made to "render an environment warm".
The solutions aimed at rendering an environment warm are obviously not aimed at adjusting the temperature or contrasting specific climatic agents. What it means is working on the atmosphere and working with sensations. This requires a pursuit of harmony between light and colour, that perfect equilibrium of lines and nuances that render a space "the space".
What role do ceramic floors and coverings have in this search for compositional harmony?
Tiles, when freed from their purely pragmatic role, have the ability of interacting with the furniture, even changing its colours and shapes. The materials are permeated with a new light that can result in them taking on a surprising appearance.
Often, we refer to spaces that lack a coherent design, as being “cold”: generally speaking what is missing is that ingredient that is able to enhance the potential qualities that are waiting to be revealed.
This is the ingredient that has shaped the new Kalahari glazed porcelain collection by ImolaCeramican, which was ninspired by the colours of the desertn. Africa was the inspiration for the intensity of the colours, which range from black to beige by way of almond and multicolour, that have the ability to fill a space with vibrant energy.
