Product Overview and Technology

The product is manufactured using extremely high-purity minerals fused at high temperatures through an innovative production process. This results in exceptional technical, surface, and aesthetic qualities. The entire manufacturing process employs Full Digital technology, ensuring precise design control, outstanding definition, and an unmatched smooth texture. A 360º design approach integrates the interior and exterior surfaces to maintain visual continuity. The product offers a variety of textures, colors, and finishes designed to stimulate the senses and inspire creativity.

Collections Inspired by Nature

The "Arizona" collection draws inspiration from natural wood textures, specifically the weathered and sun-faded appearance of naked wood. This collection emphasizes strong character and natural aesthetics, available in the "Fresno Natural" color and texture.

Product Formats and Packaging

The Arizona collection is available in formats of 30 x 300 cm and 30 x 150 cm, with detailed packaging information including box weight, pieces per box, boxes per pallet, and total weight per pallet. Minor weight variations may occur depending on production batches. Sales are primarily by full pallet, with additional handling and packaging fees applied for smaller quantities.
