The collection evokes the look and “feel” of hand-made tiles, with a strong appeal to the senses generated by the “human touch”. However, in spite of this it is manufactured in a certified high-tech industrial closed cycle designed to reduce both use of natural resources and environmental impact.
The “sugary” look (“Confetto” is Italian for “sugared almond”) is achieved in a wide assortment of 12 colours in two sizes, 5×15 and 10×10 cm. The collection is completed by the Savoiardo 3D structure (5x15cm) in the same range of colours, which is a reworking of the historic Canne d’Organo collection, designed for Marazzi by Nino Caruso in the early 1970s. The Savoiardo structure tile has a slight oval dimple in the middle which emphasises its three-dimensionality, its light/shade contrasts and its hand-made look.
With its smooth surface and bas relief texture, it can be used to cover floors and walls, create tone-on-tone or contrasting colour juxtapositions and construct tops for furnishing features. A versatile, creative collection, suitable for both residential and contract use, Confetto is an effective tool for the design of attractive interiors immune to passing styles and fashions, with a special, hand-made beauty.
