Cooperativa Ceramica d’Imola, North America introduces five new programs under the Imola Ceramica brand. The Imola Ceramica brand offering, known for Italian design and artistry, includes a wide range of products that span multiple segments and include large and small format tiles.
“With a growing North American market, the demand for quality product as well as a focus on design is increasing. Our Imola Ceramica products offer solutions for our customers that fit these requirements,” said Thomas D. Smith, president of Cooperativa Ceramica d’Imola North America. “This year, we’re excited to expand our offering [across multiple brands] to bring our customers greater diversity than ever before.”
Imola Ceramica’s new collections, offering a breadth of ceramic and porcelain choices for every area of the interior environment, are styled for aesthetics yet created for performance. Unique to Imola Ceramica’s offerings is the technologically advanced ceramic product resulting in high-performing, spectacularly beautiful, full-body porcelain tile. Five new programs under the Imola Ceramica brand launched at Coverings and include a preview of three additional collections slated to launch by the end of 2012. With an international perspective on product demands, each launch is targeted for specific markets with a focus on color-forecasting trends, diversity in size formats, and innovative textures and aesthetics.
“We have established most of our market partnerships and already see signs of organic growth, which is unexpected this early in the year,” said Andrea Bacchini, sales manager for the U.S. “I give full credit to our dedicated North American sales and customer service teams. Clearly the market is ready for a global fashion-driven program that can be supported locally.”
Magma.Like the complex system found in molten rock, Magma gives rise to a new collection of full-body porcelain. Magma is minimal and modern. Its simple layers of texture and subtle colorations create an elegant aesthetic typically found in natural stone. Unlike the volcanic nature its name implies, Magma has a calm, sophisticated aesthetic that will complement almost any setting. Magma is available in a natural finish appealing to the modern application or the glass-like lappato finish discovering a more classic feel. Magma is the perfect porcelain solution for almost every application including residential or commercial, light or heavy traffic areas and floor or wall surfaces. Magma comes standard 24 inches x 24 inches, 12 inches x 24 inches, and in mosaic, decors and trim pieces.
Koshi.Giving porcelain tile an entirely new meaning to the modern aesthetic, Koshi’s almost suede-like, matte finish provides the perfect backdrop for almost any setting. Koshi combines aesthetics and durability suitable for high traffic environments ranging from a building lobby to a popular shopping center. Its sumptuous surface coupled with subtlety-striated patterning results in a design that is current and will come to be the new classic years from now. This inventive aesthetic can be elegant or casual, luxurious or minimalist. Koshi is available in small and large formats ranging from 12 inches x 12 inches to 24 inches x 48 inches.
Bilderis “the perfect example of how the most technologically advanced ceramic product can maintain a strong soul.” Combining the simplicity and seriousness of a monochromatic, solid color porcelain tile, Bilder’s authentic colorline consists of cool and warm tones that are both minimal and relevant. Bilder is beautiful and versatile, delivering the perfect solution for almost any high traffic environment or when an exterior application wants to make a important statement. Its natural finish mimics the latest minimalist trends, while its deluxe polished finish can impress almost any environment. Bilder is available in 24 inches x 24 inches, 12 inches x 24 inches, and 18 inches x18 inches.
