Through modern worktops and islands, backsplashes and shelves, the kitchen fulfils its traditional functional purpose of welcoming and entertaining.

With its islands and worktops, the comfortable and functional kitchen achieves its most contemporary expression in the definition of areas designed to be set for entertaining guests or for home working.

This versatile approach often finds unexpected solutions through contrasting combinations in which surfaces with marble, stone, concrete and metal effects are combined to create an idea of space that fully reflects the taste of its inhabitants. With worktops or seating that turn into displays to showcase glass and china, photos and posters, creating an uninterrupted dialogue with the living room.

The material ecosystem, which must increasingly respond to the search for durable solutions with a low environmental impact, as well as the definition of taste that transcends fashions, is well represented by the large porcelain stoneware slabs from the Marazzi The Top collection. Thanks to various thicknesses, a stoneware covering makes it possible to create continuity between the floor and furnishing elements, as well as to cover the top and sides with the same material. With its maxi-sizes, The Top enables work on extraordinary shapes and sizes with versatile cutting and different processes that can respond to diverse interior design concepts.

The slabs in this series are also designed for surfaces that come into contact with food. Thanks to Puro Marazzi Antibacterial Premium technology incorporated into the production process, these surfaces eliminate up to 99.9% of bacteria and other harmful microorganisms. The extensive Marazzi The Top catalogue creates an unparalleled tactile dialogue between the individual elements of interior design and the spaces of the home – between the living room and the kitchen – overcoming limitations relating to impact or stain resistance, as well as to the hygiene of surfaces in contact with food.
