alabaster tile collection

Dezeen Showroom: Italian brand Casalgrande Padana is a prolific producer of tiles. The following five nature-informed examples have been recently listed on our Showroom section.

The cloudy and almost luminous quality of alabaster stone is imbued in Casalgrande Padana's Alabastri tile collection.

The natural material has historical uses in sculpture, however the brand has recognised its potential for decorative surfaces too through Alabastri.

The availability of five different size formats and colourways – black, blue, green, pink and white – facilitates diverse applications in various interiors.

Beige and Tortora Lithos tiles by Casalgrande Padana
Beige and Tortora Lithos tiles are two of the neutral colourways in the Lithos range

Portland stone, native to England's south coast, is referenced in the brand's Beige and Tortora Lithos tiles.

A gently granulated appearance defines these two colourways in particular, which share sandy tones.

The wider Lithos collection covers Beige, Bianco, Grigio, Nero, Taupe, Tortota colourways, all neutral in hue and all available in six size formats.

Many buildings have been made from Portland stone – the tile's inspiration – including the Palace of Westminster and the Tower of London.

Concept indoor tile collection by Casalgrande Padana
The Concept tile collection allows for the creation of interesting monochrome spaces

Concept indoor tiles come in various shapes, from hexagons to rectangles, which can be mixed and matched with the range's four available colourways.

The tiles have a gently dappled surface to create a dimensional finish across interior floors and walls akin to the effect created by natural stone.

Concept outdoor tile collection by Casalgrande Padana
Concept outdoor tiles can be applied directly to turf, gravel or sand

Like its indoor counterpart, the Concept outdoor range has a mottled surface. However, its outdoor version has an anti-slip finish to ensure sure footing despite changing weather conditions.

It also comes in a choice of black, grey, white and a combination of grey and beige called greige, so that surfaces can be continuous between interiors and outdoor living spaces. They can be laid directly onto a variety of substrates.

Casalgrande Padana was established over 60 years ago, and has been developing and manufacturing ceramic and stoneware surfaces and products ever since.

The brand is named for its headquarters in Casalgrande, Italy, and now occupies six factories across the nation.
