Nero Marquina is a testament to the technical expertise present at TheSize. To achieve bright white veining on a pure black backdrop is a task testing enough on paper, but for a Sintered Stone slab, a new technical avenue was entered. For this challenge, TheSize has developed an exclusive technique to achieve the stark contrast and distinct fine lines. Available in Polished and Silk finishes and in 6mm and 12mm thicknesses, it is ideal for floors, walls, bathroom and kitchen worktops, as well as furniture. Furthermore, Nero Marquina can also be book-matched to create mirror-like designs.
Nero Marquina is a result of Neolith®’s innovative Digital Design (NDD) decoration technique. This system has revolutionised Neolith® patterns and is pushing the boundaries of what colours and textures are possible to create on Sintered Stone.
Having previously won their first Red Dot Award in 2015, TheSize is honoured to receive the important industry accolade for the second time. "We tirelessly invest in our research and development, trying to stay ahead of our industry by providing the latest design technologies and creating décors to rival the real deal", says Mar Esteve, Marketing Director, TheSize. We have come a long way since winning the award in 2015, and will continue to push the boundaries of design."
The winning entries will receive their certificates during the Red Dot Gala taking place on 3rd July 2017 at the Aalto-Theater in Essen, Germany. The Red Dot Design Museum Essen will then present all award-winning products in its four-week winners’ exhibition.
The international award is a benchmark for excellent product design worldwide. The 40-strong jury had the difficult to appraise 5,500 products from 47 categories, thoroughly accessing the entries on several aspects, including innovation, quality, functionality and ecological compatibility.
