Glacé from Ragno Ceramiche Features Small, Color-Changing Tile

A blend of skill and technology is reflected in a sophisticated range of small size products that reinterpret antique tiles from the ceramic tradition.

Ragno Ceramiche’s new Glacé wall covering is available in a brick tile size of 7.5×20 cm, in six natural colors with three-dimensional surfaces. The art of craftsmanship becomes trendy, celebrating the excellence of a high-tech material with outstanding performance, in colorful tiles, structured surfaces and glossy and matte “raw” finishes.

Along the sides and surface of the Glacé tiles are touches of a clay color that give the impression of gaps in the glaze, a distinctive feature of handmade materials.

The inspiration for Glacé comes from craft techniques that involve drawing the body mix through dies during production. In this process, any dirt on the tools creates tiny superficial cuts, which are then covered by the glaze. The resulting ceramic product has a changeable shiny surface with great tactile appeal, telling a story rich in experience and manual skill.

The technical properties of stoneware are combined with a striking, contemporary aesthetic impact, with three-dimensional decoration that bestows depth and richness of color on interior design schemes. The striped Rayé 3D structure has furrows of varying width and depth to create a “barcode” look thanks to alternate glossy and matte glazes.

Installed either vertical or horizontal, Glacé is suitable for walls, furnishings and architectural features, or for creating boiserie panels and decorative motifs, alternating smooth plain tiles and relief structures, or just experimenting with the color assortment in a mixture of coordinated tones and shades.
