Core
Full-body
Porcelain is pressed together with decorative flakes to achieve a full-body effect.
The CORE application is based on the heterogeneous mixing of different types of clays during the atomisation process. This technique produces a unique and varied design within the body of the ceramic, creating a rich and complex visual appearance that mimics the natural variations found in rocks – a full-body effect. The mixture may include clays of different colours, resulting in a piece with speckles and tonal variations that give it a distinctive character.
Application Process:
• Preparation of the Mixture: During the atomisation phase, the process begins with a homogeneous base of the desired colour, such as white. Small quantities of clays of different colours, such as black or grey, are then added.
Advantages:
• Natural Aesthetics: The variability in the earth pigment mixture creates an appearance that emulates natural stone, providing an authentic and robust look.
• Design Versatility: When creating furniture where the body of the piece is visible, a more aesthetic and natural finish is achieved.
• Conceals Impacts: Porcelain is a very hard material, but if it does receive a heavy blow or suffers wear and tear, the defect will appear more integrated into the surface, which helps to conceal it.
Applications:
• Furniture: Perfect for kitchen worktops and bathroom furniture, where an elegant and durable finish is required.
• Wall cladding: Ideal for interior and exterior wall cladding, providing a sophisticated aesthetic.
Eclipse
Smart surface decoration
A decorative technique using different particles to achieve various volume effects.
The ECLIPSE technique involves the selective creation of pronounced textures by applying grit to an adhesive. This technique allows for the design of pieces with unique, eye-catching textures that enhance the depth and aesthetic appeal of the ceramics.
Application Process:
• Digital design: The design is printed onto the model.
• Application of adhesive: Using digital printing, an adhesive is applied to the designated areas of the design.
• Application of grit: The piece passes through a machine where grit is applied to the adhesive. The grit adheres to the areas with adhesive, whilst the excess is vacuumed away.
• Firing: During firing, the grit fuses with the surface of the ceramic, creating pronounced and durable textures.
Advantages:
• Distinctive texture: ECLIPSE allows you to create tactile textures that add depth and striking aesthetic appeal to the ceramic. No plates or moulds are required.
• Design versatility: The technique allows for a wide variety of customised designs and textures.
