Nexion’s sintered surfaces are much more than an attempt to imitate or reproduce natural stone. They’re the product of a manufacturing process built on innovation, creativity, and knowledge. The result of a joint venture between Italian firm Ceramiche Speranza and Simpolo, an Indian firm operated by the Aghara family, this Italian-Indian company creates products that bring together the beauty of nature and hi-tech know-how to reinvent nature through a contemporary lens. By combining a typically Italian artistic sensibility with Indian technical precision, Nexion has made knowledge, technique, and creativity its cornerstones. With these underpinnings, it’s developed its own approach to each stage of the inspiration–design–manufacture process.
Inspiration is the true heart of creativity. And Nexion draws it from anywhere in the world, with Alpine stone, Kilkenny, and Pannonian limestone just some of the inspirations for its product collections. The infinite shades and textures present in nature are another source of inspiration. But they’re just the starting point, with each one reimagined to define a design mission. In the next step, the designers create a kind of visual map for free experimentation.
Design and manufacture follow inspiration, with ideas and intuitions put into concrete form using materials. Modifications and combinations of materials then lead to prototyping, with the first samples created in the factory as an initial version of the final surface. This is a crucial stage since it allows designers to test both functionality and aesthetics, ensuring that each surface strikes a balance between beauty and durability.
Nexion describes its approach as an “innovation formula,” which aims to transform surfaces by creating a modern, versatile, and environmentally friendly aesthetic. Each stage of the process – from inspiration to production – therefore reflects the company’s commitment to quality and innovation, and an expression of creativity and sustainability.
