Italian Design from Gardenia Orchidea for contemporary architecture projects

Gardenia Orchidea’s Gardenia Slabs (shown here in Patagonia Emerald)

Gardenia Orchidea has introduced its latest innovations including the new La Marmoteca surfaces and the large Gardenia Slabs created using exclusive FullVein3D technology.

La Marmoteca, a veritable encyclopedia of marble-inspired surfaces, has broadened its range of offerings with the introduction of the white versions Statuario Spider, Frozen and Pure Onyx alongside the more decorative varieties Verde Picasso and Wonder Grey, bringing the total number of versions in the catalogue to 22. The collection is available in different sizes (large 120×280 cm slabs and submultiples) and in a variety of finishes (Lux, Lux 3D, Soft, Soft 3D and P.tech R10).

In addition to its traditional 8.5 mm thickness, La Marmoteca also comes in a 6 mm version with enhanced sustainability. This thinner option not only reduces the product’s environmental impact by lowering emissions during both production and transport but also facilitates installation of the slabs thanks to their low weight and ease of handling.

Another highlight of the exhibition is the collection of large Gardenia Slabs, created using the exclusive FullVein3D technology based on the controlled application of raw materials. This technology provides a perfect reproduction of the visual effect of the finest natural materials both on the surface and in the body of the slab, even after cutting, drilling, and finishing operations, and ensures an even more realistic ceramic reproduction of marble. In addition, the characteristics of non-absorbency, mechanical strength and resistance to abrasion, frost and heat enable the porcelain stoneware to be used more widely in the production of furniture, worktops and countertops for customized bathrooms and kitchens.
