Lea Ceramiche - Pigmenti collection
✏️ Design by Ferruccio Laviani
by Lea Ceramiche is winner of this year's IF Design Award , the world-renowned design prize. Pigmenti was selected among almost 11,000 entries submitted from 56 countries. The 133-member jury was fascinated by Lea Ceramiche and Ferruccio Laviani's capacity to investigate the material, bringing out expressive possibilities and new points of view. The result is a material color with a fine structure, where light graphic movements give the color depth and dynamism. And this is even more extraordinary if we consider that the materiality and craftsmanship of inspiration find in industrial production a result that is not denatured, thanks to the ability of Lea Ceramiche to maintain its distinctive and elementary characteristics preserved.
Research within the research, Pigmenti is also extraordinarily thin and, above all, 100% Carbon Neutral. A second ceramic skin of only 3.5 mm in large format slabs (3x1 m) that opens up to the possibility of being used on vertical surfaces, indoors for strongly characterized environments, or outdoors, for applications on external façades, or to cover furnishing volumes. For this collection Lea Ceramiche offers the best of its 3plus technology: large-format laminated porcelain stoneware and extraordinary lightness, thanks to the ultra-thin thickness of only 3.5 mm. A versatile and resistant material, able to offer new perspectives in the world of architecture and living, expression of a technology that revolutionizes the traditional production process to obtain a completely new and sustainable solution. The thickness, reduced by 2/3 compared to traditional tiles, requires a lower consumption of raw materials, energy and water, reduces transport pollution and CO2 emissions making the slabs among the most eco-sustainable materials for construction.
