Durstone has introduced new small-format porcelain ceramics with the Imagine, Sunset and Tibet collections that explore the expressive potential of contemporary porcelain ceramics through color, geometry and texture.
Small-format porcelain ceramics are experiencing a renewed moment within contemporary architecture and interior design, reclaiming the value of modulation, texture and detail through surfaces that bring rhythm, depth and visual richness to spaces. In contrast to the uniformity of continuous surfaces, a more tactile, expressive and sensory sensibility is emerging, where ceramic repetition acquires a new architectural language.
With the Imagine, Sunset and Tibet collections, ceramic brand Durstone presents three porcelain proposals that explore small-format tiles through very different expressions: artisanal shine, decorative geometry and mineral depth, transforming the surface into an element capable of completely redefining the atmosphere of a project.
Sunset: texture, geometry and microcement effect
Sunset reinterprets the aesthetic of colored microcement through a small-format collection with a strong tactile and architectural sensibility. Available in three hexagonal formats, the collection features matte surfaces with subtle tonal variations that reinforce its material and handcrafted character.
The palette of soft, mineral-inspired tones brings warmth and naturalness to the surface, while the reliefs, geometries and decorative patterns expand the collection’s compositional possibilities. The different combinations of pieces and formats create plays of depth and visual rhythm, particularly suited to hospitality, retail and contemporary interior design projects.
The versatility of Sunset makes it possible to create everything from enveloping continuous surfaces to more graphic and decorative compositions, where texture and geometry take center stage and bring a highly distinctive identity to the architectural space.
Imagine: color, shine and artisanal expression
Imagine (pictured at top) reinterprets the essence of traditional ceramics through a contemporary perspective, where small-format tiles become an essential design tool. Available in two formats, the collection combines glossy and matte finishes to enhance light contrasts and reinforce the material character of the surface.
Its color palette, featuring shades such as olive, cotto, blue and taupe, among others, makes it possible to create warm and immersive environments, while linear compositions and herringbone or vertical layouts introduce a contemporary architectural language. The 6-by-25-cm piece also includes the Concept version, a linear relief design that adds texture and plays of light across the surface, expanding the collection’s compositional possibilities.
Imagine interacts naturally with materials such as marble, stone and natural wood to create warm interiors where artisanal references coexist with a contemporary aesthetic. The irregular glazing of the pieces and the tonal richness of the surfaces reinforce the collection’s material expressiveness.
Tibet: mineral depth and architectural serenity
More sober and architectural in character, Tibet offers a mineral interpretation of small-format tiles through textured surfaces and shades inspired by natural stone. The collection is available in three hexagonal formats, maintaining a serene and understated aesthetic.
Its colors sand, clay, pearl, earth, olive and coal make it possible to create balanced environments where visual richness emerges from texture, light and subtle tonal variations.
With a mineral palette and surfaces defined by a strong tactile sensibility, Tibet is conceived for serene and sensory-driven projects, where small-format tiles take center stage through subtlety and materiality.
