The new surfaces by FMG Fabbrica Marmi e Graniti create a direct dialogue with nature, reinterpreted on slabs of remarkable size to trigger enveloping sensorial effects

Brown Fusion, Vogue, Palissandro Blue. Three collections to narrate the technological and stylistic evolution of FMG Fabbrica Marmi e Graniti, the brand of Iris Ceramica Group. These new developments, premiered at the Cersaie trade fair, represent the latest results of a pathway of research, creativity and innovation for the company, taking concrete form in technical ceramic surfaces of high application potential for architecture and design.

The porcelain stoneware collections of FMG Fabbrica Marmi e Graniti take their cue from nature, starting with its imagery recreated with the grain, colors and patterns typical of natural materials. The same approach can be seen in the composition, since the products are made with natural elements like minerals, very pure sand and clay, processed in an eco-sustainable way.

Sinuous graphic textures and a harmonious blend of warm nuances are on view in Brown Fusion, where subtle veins in white, beige and gray enliven a background in sepia brown. Icy white frames the dove gray and black stripes of Vogue, conveying its elegant spirit. Finally, the delicate shadings of Palissandro Blue add movement to a milk white setting, amidst light vibrations and sparkling inserts.

The three new collection of the brand are featured on the large MaxFine formats, surfaces of remarkable size that amplify the visual impact and performance of the material. Brown Fusion, Vogue, Palissandro Blue (available in the formats 300×150, 150×150, 150×75, 75×75 and 75×37.5 cm, with a thickness of 6 mm) create immersive surfaces on walls and floors, enhancing works of architecture and interior design in residential and contract contexts, also thanks to their specific finishes: Lucidato for Brown Fusion Maxfine, for a classic glowing effect; Lapped for Vogue MaxFine, which gives the texture a three-dimensional character through the semi-gloss or matte appearance; Glint for Palissandro Blue MaxFine, offering a shinier, brighter result.

The qualities of the material make the slabs extremely ductile and flexible, offering infinite possibilities of application, while standing up to wear and the effects of time. Incorporating technology, FMG makes room for unstoppable creative freedom, transforming the slab into a smart element with Hypertouch, the innovative capacitive surface that through a built-in system of home automation sensors permits on-off functions for lighting, climate, audio-video and security systems, with a simple touch or slight pressing on the slab.
