Combining a semi-matte, faceted finish that’s soft to the touch and with a minimalist, sophisticated design, Confetto is a new small porcelain tile from Marazzi’s Crogiolo collection. The design is a reminder of how beautiful ceramic tiles can be, while also capturing the elegance of handmade products through a new industrial handicraft process.
Confetto is suitable for both residential and commercial projects, giving any space a warm, inviting atmosphere. It can be applied to both walls and floors, as well as some types of furniture. And the product is available in no fewer than twelve combinable cool and warm colors, including Sage, White, Brick, Grey, Blue, and many others.
There’s also a three-dimensional version, 3D Savoiardo. Also available in twelve shades, it draws inspiration from the landmark Canne d’Organo collection, designed by Nino Caruso for Marazzi in the early 1970s. This tile has a slight indentation in the middle, which emphasizes its three-dimensionality and handmade effect. Two sizes are available: 2 x 6” (5x15 cm) 4 x 4” (10x10 cm).
Confetto is part of the Crogiolo collection. The result of an interweaving of traditional craft skill and technological innovation, the product grew out of Marazzi’s research into industrial handicrafts. The name Crogiolo is important in the history of Marazzi as the name of the factory building – located between the railroad and canal in Modena – where Marazzi was established in the 1930s. This was also where its set up its R&D department in the 1980s. Also named Il Crogiolo (the crucible), the department was created to give free reign to architects, designers, artists, and photographers to interpret the ceramic medium. The resulting products, the Sperimentazioni line, include tiles designed by the likes of Roger Capron, Amleto Dalla Costa, Original Designers, Saruka Nagasawa, and Robert Gligorov, and photography by Luigi Ghirri, Cuchi White, and Charles Traub.
