Refin | Namib

Inspired by the Namib desert, the Refin porcelain stoneware collection for floors and walls brings a natural and essential atmosphere to interiors

The Namib desert was the inspiration for this collection in porcelain stoneware from Refin for floors and walls that brings suggestions of uncontaminated nature into interior settings, bringing together immensity and simplicity. The alternation of light and dark halos together with calibrated differences in grain and colour, gives Namib a delicate effect of depth and movement. The colour palette offers warm nuances, interpreted in different tonal scales: the neutral tones of Dune, Ecru and Linen establish a dialogue with the proposals Camel, Jasper and Earth suggested by the colours of earth and sand. 

Ecru, Namib collection by Refin

The new matt-pro finish is pleasantly soft to the touch, while maintaining good slip resistance thanks to the slight texture that at the same time ensures ease of cleaning. There are four formats, two square and two rectangular, ranging from 120x120cm to 30x60cm, for easy placement in all design settings.
