By crushing different natural stones and then compacting them into a single material, a visually neutral yet extraordinarily rich surface is created, crossed by micro-inclusions that reveal the varied nature of the original materials. The resulting texture expresses the deepest meaning of stone and is the origin of Pietra Essenza, which is distinguished by its sophisticated, balanced and minimalist aesthetics. The visual effect is authentic and layered; to the touch, the ceramic surface surprises with a subtle three-dimensional structure that accurately recalls the tactility of natural stone.
