Ink is a new Ceramiche Refin collection of ceramic tiles that draws inspiration from the small strokes of ink that creates graphics on paper.

“Refin’s pioneering approach celebrates every nuance of design, reinterpreting porcelain stoneware in forms that explore iconicity as Refin’s immediately recognizable, distinctive imprint,” the Italian brand says. “The result is an intoxicating aesthetic: original patterns, surprising visions and eclectic styles converge in disruptive surfaces that captivate the eye, offering a universe of possibilities for furnishing with total creativity.”

The surface of the tile is born of the meeting between artistic gesture and design method, where ceramics take on a symbolic, conceptual and narrative value. Pieces exude a conceptual and lean aesthetic, with Zen references that are reminiscent of the weave and weft of a fabric.

Ink, the brand says, represents the company’s ability to look at ceramics from a new perspective in order to tell a story made up of research, reflection and balance through the product itself.

Ink is part of the Iconic Design collections, authentic decorative products that give an expressive power to spaces, transforming them into inspiring, on-trend settings.

“A free-hand style, instinctive and sincere, born of a train of thought and evolving into a decorative motif generated by micro-sections placed close together, giving rise to a unique and personal style,” the brands says in a release announcing the collection. 

Ink is available in an 80 by 80-centimeter format, and in three neutral shades (white, gray, and black); three warm and saturated shades (earth, powder pink, beige); and two deep and introspective shades (blue, green).

The line’s hand-drawn micro-lines, arranged in variable directions and densities, create an orderly pattern that is vibrant and dynamic. The levels of visual depth change depending on the viewing distance – close, medium or distant – modifying the perception of the pattern, which appears sharper or more compact, revealing the complexity of the patterns. Installation also influences the final effect: changing the orientation and layout of the tiles, it is possible to create configurations that are always new and surprising, the company says.

Ink’s color variants include Pure, Grace, Bold, Wavy, Cozy, Earthy, Blush and Quiet. The palette translates the complexity of the interior world into conditions of the mind and depths of mood: Pure white is comfortable and serene; the Grace gray represents elegance and courtesy; the Bold black expresses affirmation, courage and audaciousness; the Cozy beige conveys a relaxing and welcoming approach; the Blush peach color recalls intense and sweet emotions; the Earthy brown recounts an intimate connection with nature; the Quiet green creates a combined image of peace and calm; and the Wavy blue describes the wave-like motion which animates the deepest thoughts.

Products come in a matte finish.
