| | Ceramics of Italy: Be a Part of Our Story. | | Ceramic is a historic material that has been used for function as well as decoration for centuries. From drinking gourds to the floors of ancient Rome, it is an intrinsic part of everyday life that has stood the test of time. Fast-forward a few hundred years and Italian ceramic tile has become an incredibly sophisticated and versatile hard surfacing material that can be used on floors, walls, facades, countertops, furnishings, and more. It’s sustainable, durable, hygienic and resistant to fire, frost, and harsh chemicals, making it a wunderkind for all types of design projects. Italian ceramics bring generations of craftsmanship and creativity into conversation with the needs of modern day – from exterior cladding and air-purifying tiles to design-forward porcelains for indoor-outdoor transitions and kitchen countertops. It represents equal parts beauty and state-of-the-art innovation. A pioneer that has been leading the industry in the arena of design, style, technological advanced performance, sustainability standards, and production methods, the companies represented by Ceramics of Italy are consistently ahead of their time and truly leading the world. These concepts are expressed in an evocative new video, Ceramics of Italy - Ahead Of Our Time , created by award-winning filmmaker Francesca Molteni and architectural historian Fulvio Irace. It celebrates the story of ceramics in the distinctly Italian architecture landscape. Ahead of Our Time is a deeply meaningful tagline that encapsulates what has always animated the very spirit of Italian creativity: to have new ideas a long time before other people start to think in the same way.
