MM_Folios tiles recall the texture and delicate hues of certain types of sheet metal, and are available in three different shades - Folios Nero, Folios Grigio and Folios Bianco – with two surface finishes - matt and glossy. The collection, available in different sizes, is completed with special Flowers and Arazzo tiles. Suitable for any kind of room, MM_Folios is recommended for floors, walls and work surfaces such as tables, kitchen countertops, etc. Its dimensions are ideal for covering large surfaces while minimising gaps.

MM_Timber is the perfect reproduction, in the 240x20 cm size, of a strip of wood in five different hues: Timber White, Timber Avana, Timber Brown, Timber Grey, Timber Black. The MM_Timber line combines the natural look of wood with the dependability of porcelain stoneware, making this material suitable for any kind of room. Its reduced thickness optimises workability even while maintaining strength.

Come and see the most innovative interior design products and solutions at Architect@Work in Stuttgart on November 7 and 8, 2012.

Intended for an audience of architects and designers, Living 24 offers constant updates on new projects and events, the latest trends and new products available on the market.

A whole page is dedicated to Eiffelgres, and particularly to in-depth consideration of the Art & Work custom working and laser decoration programme.

Eiffelgres offers a vast range of interior design solutions including a wide selection of decorative pieces on mesh backing, ranging from classic mosaic tiles to square tiles and pieces in the most original shapes, such as Egg mosaic reproducing the shape of an egg or Drop, a drop-shaped mosaic in the new Pillart collection.

Art&Work also includes laser decorations: porcelain stoneware tiles embellished with graphic signs created with fine laser engraving. Available in a number of different sizes, the tiles are mostly engraved with designs reproducing compositions of lines, as in Line, Tape, Ray, Laseroad, etc., or floral motifs such as Cashmir and Leaf.

“The architect encounters innovation” is the motto of this essential event at which more than 120 exhibitors selected by a commission of architects present the latest new developments on the market.

Pillart, Eiffelgres’ latest new porcelain stoneware collection, available in two colours, two surface finishes, and a multitude of customisable solutions, will be featured in its own stand.

More information on porcelain stoneware and other ceramic materials will be available at Thin-Ker, an exhibition and convention organized by building materials consultants Plan+B, a German studio Eiffelgres has been working with in Germany for several years now.

Ongoing research at all stages from conception of new collections to manufacture of materials in a plant employing technologically advanced machinery has allowed Eiffelgres to guarantee quality technical stoneware with the aesthetic value of its unique style for the past decade.

The company’s tenth anniversary offers an opportunity to consider the goals it has achieved thanks to the combination of human effort and productive technology. The result of this work is the technical stoneware Eiffelgres produces and presents with new collections every year. But one of the aspects best representing the commitment and satisfaction of the people who work for Eiffelgres is achievement of certification under strict environmental quality standards, obtained by all its materials through environmental sustainability certificates such as Anab, Leed, Breeam and Hqe.

At the same time, on December 2 and 3, Architect@Work will be held at the Parc de la Villette in Paris: a big trade fair for interior designers, architects and decorators set up as a huge installation in which the corridors become lounges and the stands exhibition galleries where visitors may stroll about and view technologically advanced products aesthetically in line with the standards of contemporary architecture.

Eiffelgres will be participating in both events, exhibiting its two lines of porcelain stoneware collections, Estyle and Estone, featuring a complete range of different surfaces, textures, colours and sizes, and presenting the French public with Pietra d’Origine, the new product Eiffelgres unveiled at Cersaie 2010.

Design by architect Mauro Bellei

Lightness has won at Superstudio’s Studio 2. Eiffelgres suggests another way of presenting porcelain stoneware tiles. The product becomes even more active and dynamic for the occasion. This is why we feel like we’re going into some kind of strange gym in which products are suspended from wall bars and lowered from above. A gym for exercising the muscles of thought and giving ideas a good workout. This is where Eiffelgres presents Sensible, a collection designed by Mauro Bellei focusing on the theme of light, establishing a direct dialogue with light in this event.
All we need to do is focus on a part of a Sensible tile and walk around it to realise that as we change our point of view, its textures may be emphasised or disappear entirely so that it becomes a uniform solid colour.

The Eiffelgres 2010 Catalogue is different from the catalogues of previous years in format, for it is no longer rectangular but almost square in shape, and in the fact that it is divided into two separate volumes: a General Catalogue and an Art&Work Catalogue. The two are contained in a cloth-covered case intended for the desk or library. Both the General Catalogue, containing all the technical information on Eiffelgres porcelain stoneware collections, plus countless images of floors and walls, and Art&Work, dedicated entirely to the great variety of laser or water jet cut decorations available assembled on mesh backing, have a white cover which folds over with an inside flap. The model on which the two volumes and their box are based is the art book.

Clear, easy to find information makes for a good catalogue, while attention to detail, balanced forms, and identification and connotation of specific stylistic forms make it an object of design.

This international event is an essential date for architects and retailers. Ceramic materials, particularly porcelain stoneware such as that produced by Eiffelgres, is used on floors, walls and, increasingly often, as an outdoor finish on buildings with ventilated façades. Technical porcelain stoneware offers all the technical dependability and aesthetic quality required of materials used in architecture in a single material.

This year’s Cevisama graphics play with this concept. A woman’s skin tattooed with stylised designs evokes the function of ceramics in buildings: protecting without neglecting beauty.

Eiffelgres already boasts prestigious references in France, primarily in shopping centres; the country has historically been a strong market for the Fiorano-based company. Eiffelgres products are sold in French-speaking countries, where they meet the increasingly strict demands of international standards and respond to the creativity of architects and interior designers, who are now being asked to produce interiors for big shopping and office complexes which are not only beautiful and attractive but with an high tech quality.

French automobile maker Citroën chose tiles from Eiffelgres’ PIETRALAVICA collection for the restyling of its international showroom, combining the excellence of Italian style in top of the range interior finishes with the talent for automobile design of France’s number one automobile maker.

Founded in 1919 by André Citroën, the well-known automobile maker in the PSA Peugeot Citroën group has always been the pride and joy of French industry for the creativity and advanced technologies that go into its production.
The same ingredients have allowed Eiffelgres to rise to a prestigious position among makers of porcelain stoneware in the Modena area in only a few years.

Eiffelgres and Citroën have always stood out for environmental awareness in their respective industries.
After the 1995 electric AX, the first milestone demonstrating the double chevron’s commitment to the environment, the commercial launch of the anti-particulate filter and the “Stop&Start”, the company now sets the standard for reduction of polluting emissions with the Airdream brand.
At the same time, Eiffelgres started out with ISO 14001 certification and went on to achieve ANAB building biology certification, NF-UPEC, and now membership in the Green Building Council of Italy, recognising its values in the Leed construction system (percentage of recycled material used in production, 40% by weight).
And so it only makes sense that the backdrop for the Citroën range should be the Darkgrey, Pearlgrey and Brown hues from the Pietralavica collection by Italian company Eiffelgres, inspired by the genius of Alexander-Gustave Eiffel: a man who produced designs on an immense scale that fit harmoniously into their setting. Eiffelgres has already been installed in Citroën showrooms the world over.

Eiffelgres, a division of the Iris Ceramica Spa group, is honoured to show off the sophisticated technology and great value of Citroën’s cars with its technical porcelain stoneware.
Pietralavica was chosen over numerous competing products as a modern, contemporary material with a particular vocation for use in public places requiring easy to clean flooring that can bear high stress. All this with, of course, an immediate aesthetic impact representing an evolution of natural lava, with the softness of gentle curved lines to add motion to its surface and create subtle reflections.

On May 29-30-31 “Les Jardins de Beauval” Congress Hotel in Saint Aignan in the Loir-et-Cher region will host a meeting and exposition of the greatest interior finishing manufacturers, where Eiffelgres will exhibit its porcelain stoneware before the French public. The French already know and appreciate the brand’s materials, as demonstrated by the prestigious references the company has acquired in the country.

This is not the first time Eiffelgres has been invited to participate in Grand Ouest: in 2008 the company won a trophy in recognition of the value and effectiveness of the documentation supplied with its products.

Four exclusive theme projects by four architects present different reflections on the home wellness concept, with design solutions characterised by customised use of materials and design.

In this project by Alberto Apostoli, Eiffelgres supplied porcelain stoneware to cover the walls and floor of the suite. Strips from the Autentika Snow collection frame and elegantly contrast with the central part of the floor, formed of a "waterfall" ornament from the Lastranera collection. The elliptical mosaic, harmoniously incorporated in a space dominated by curved lines, underlines the suite's atmosphere through design. The showers on either side feature the bubble ornament on the shower tray, while the curved wall is covered with special "wall" pieces laid vertically to recall flowing water.

In the wellness bathroom designed by architect Scaglia, cleaner lines regulate the spatial geometry. Contrasts and transparencies are underlined by tone-on-tone hues characterising the colour scheme of the Atmosphere collection, with tiles measuring 10x60 laid on the floor.

The suite’s prestige lies not only in the abandonment of ornamentation, of ostentation at any cost, but in the concept inspiring the project as a whole.
The balance tying together every element in the design through forms, colours and light is enough to make the Personal Golf Resort a highly exclusive place.

Eiffelgres supplied the perfect material for floor and wall tiles: Autentika. The collection, in snow and greenrais, is harmoniously measured with lines regulating the designed space. Characterised by colour schemes rich in detail, luminescence and varieties of hue recalling the expressive force of natural materials, dressing up space in soft, muted hues that contribute to the suite’s relaxing atmosphere.

The possibilities Eiffelgres offers for custom-designed projects with its materials have permitted creation of personalised finishes for interior design. The curves of the bubble motif, a mosaic of circular pieces mounted on mesh, soften the space and bring to mind the roundness of the golf ball, or the circumference of the hole.

The name of the event, HOLE IN ONE, laser-engraved on the Eiffelgres tiles at the entrance, further underlines the versatility and practicality that a material like solid porcelain stoneware can offer the many expressions of design and the demands of contemporary architecture.

Eiffelgres porcelain stoneware is by nature an aesthetically “rich” material that has evolved out of Italian know-how, guaranteeing the excellence of its performance.

For more than 20 years Artibat has been the biggest regional construction trade show in the Grand Ouest.
The French city's 30,000 m² exhibition centre will host tradespeople, entrepreneurs, architects, specialised studios and professionals from the public and private sector, who will meet with businesses, manufacturers and resellers of everything that has to do with the construction industry.

The themes of decoration, finishes, carpentry, tools, metals, heating and, of course, ceramics will make the show the focus of attention for people in the industry for 3 days, like a magnet attracting everything toward it.

Eiffelgres distributes its hi-tech products of great aesthetic value all over France, and considers the Nantes trade show an essential date.
After "Grand Ouest", "Equipmag" and "Architect@Work", "Artibat" concludes a packed year of important events in France confirming the leadership of this Italian company, which boasts prestigious references in the public and private sectors alike.

Deliberately divested of its strictly religious component, "The Cloister" is seen in terms of every individual's personal relationship with the transcendental, with self, nature and others. The material chosen to implement the project is the new Eiffelgres collection of Atmosphere tiles, an ideal expression of the lightness of matter. The Arctic and Space materials were used, with natural and chiselled finishes, in the 90x15, 90x30, 90x60 and 60x30 formats.

Alberto Apostoli, the architect who designed the space for the hotellerie and wellness space in the exhibition, explained the innovative concept Eiffelgres is participating in: "A hotel room suggesting a dynamic mode, a space where guests can find themselves again through travel".

Eiffelgres already boasts prestigious references in France, primarily in shopping centres; the country has historically been a strong market for the Fiorano-based company. Eiffelgres products are sold in French-speaking countries, where they meet the increasingly strict demands of international standards and respond to the creativity of architects and interior designers, who are now being asked to produce interiors for big shopping and office complexes which are not only beautiful and attractive but as hygienic as possible.

For the first time the Krasnajapresnja EXPOCENTR in the Russian capital will bring together all the most important new developments in the sector in one place, including Eiffelgres’s porcelain stoneware tiles, produced using latest generation technologies which blend carefully selected earths and minerals from all over the world.

The Pietralavica collection, with the addition of the big new formats and new decorative motifs, will be presented exclusively to interior designers, architects and visitors to the trade show at the stand of Eiffelgres distributor XTILE, a prominent reseller of Italian-made ceramics all over Russia.

Eiffelgres could not miss such a prestigious event, such an important opportunity to present new materials demonstrating the scenic and conceptual presence of design. The company’s ongoing focus on technologies and aesthetic signs has earned Eiffelgres recognition as an exclusive name in the world of high performance ceramics combining charm with technical value, practicality and beauty.
Eiffelgres will be at the Vienna exhibition to continue implementing its policy of establishing ongoing dialogue with designers and architects and further consolidating its presence in Austria, where the company already has a large share of the market.

Equipmag is divided into three complementary theme areas and the aim is to turn it into the all-round main event for the retail world.
- Equipmag Agencement, the section dedicated to shop architecture and interior decorating, from lighting design to the choice of finishes (Eiffelgres: Hallee C, stand 76);
- Equipmag PLV, the section dedicated to the latest visual communication innovations for retail outlets;
- Technomag, where all the technology available for use in retail stores is on show.
Eiffelgres exhibited its products in the “Equipmag Agencement” section dedicated to design, creative solutions, furnishings and finishes for retail outlets. The accent was on the Moor version of the Autentika collection, a concentration of style and texture for interior architecture able to blend with any decor while enhancing its design and the wares on show.

Come see our stand and get in touch with the new products: with the substance of Eiffelgres' soul.

Stand A164

Professional Suite is a 160 m² space for implementing new sales strategies and exhibiting key Eiffelgres collections such as Autentika, Pietra di Brera, Pietralavica where technical stoneware collections under the Eiffelgres brand appear alongside collections from other Iris Group companies.

The showroom is intended primarily for architects and interior designers, who will be able to take a close-up look and make contact with Eiffelgres tiles in a variety of different colours, surfaces and formats, with all the technical qualities and aesthetic value of latest generation porcelain stoneware .

With the showroom Eiffelgres, a division of Iris Ceramica S.p.A., is consolidating and amplifying its presence on Asian markets through important partnerships with local distributors in China, Korea, the Philippines, Hong Kong and Japan.
Founded in Fiorano Modenese in 2001 by President Romano Minozzi, Eiffelgres now exports products made in its plant in Viano, Reggio Emilia, all over the world and is in the vanguard in its field in terms of design and technological innovation.

The products manufactured at the Eiffelgres Viano plant have been introduced on the French market with the precise aim of addressing increasingly specific needs stemming from the creative flair of architects, interior decorators and designers whose task is not only to make the large areas in shopping centres, offices and other buildings welcoming and comfortable, but also attractive.

This is what Leclerc had in mind for its Altkirch centre. In Eiffelgres' Pietralavica Brown and Pietralavica Darkgrey products it found the perfect answer to two very different problems: a suitable type of flooring for areas subject to heavy foot traffic, such as galleries, and food departments, where trolleys with heavy loads are used.
Hence, not only a question of exceptional technical quality, but also an aesthetic appeal studied right down to the last detail. Auchan, for example, opted for Bianco Luna, Delfin Coto and Samarcanda for its Poitier shopping centre, its choice from three different collections leading to a highly original result. Super U, on the other hand, focused on just two shades in the same material (Pietralavica Chocolate and Pietralavica Starwhite) for its Thouars shopping centre, and succeeded in creating the first shopping centre in compliance with France's stringent environmental legislation.

To provide France's architects, designers and decorators with ongoing support Eiffelgres has developed a capillary network across the country, focusing on wholesale distributors of materials for major construction. In fact projects designed to accommodate the public at large represent around 80% of construction operations that use Eiffelgres products. Large shopping centres, banks, hotels and shops as well as hospitals and even an army base, are the main building types. They also make for an effective showcase given the fact that since their construction many architects have elected to include the same products in residential contexts as well. The underlying theme of all these projects is modern, contemporary style, coupled with the unique technical features of Eiffelgres' products.

The products of the Fiorano Modenese-based firm have in actual fact passed the stringent tests set by France's Ministry of Internal Affairs and thanks to these characteristics, the company was chosen as the supplier for the construction of military buildings in Paris. So, it is quality that gives rise to a privileged dialogue with architects, who are aware that they can count on the same characteristics in all of Eiffelgres' materials and, for this very reason, are broadening their range of use for products and exploring new fields of application.

Stylistic rigour and innovation make the new "technical porcelain" Stylistic rigour and innovation make the new Autentika slab series inimitable, with colour shading that gives rise to luminescence and nuances combined with a smart appearance and technology.

90x60 - 90x30 and 90x15 are the new sizes, complete with large strip, mosaic and decorative tiles, for Pietralavica, a product that is the natural expression of an avant-garde design.

This explains why the publication opens with such interesting artistic works as "slabs in movement that lend themselves to different scenarios," explains Carlo Ravazzini, managing director of Eiffelgres. To underscore the contents he adds: "The deconstruction illustrated is visible in even fragments, but becomes functional upon the subsequent construction of light, ethereal compositions pregnant with meaning. The end result is no longer locked within itself, but leaves scope for interaction which links seemingly distant multiple layers of reality. It is almost as though nature and urban craftsmanship were driven by a dynamic common core, bringing surfaces to life and causing them to vibrate like a sensitive skin."

This is a veritable architectural work that starts with the front cover, designed to interact with architects and interior designers, the brand's main targets. This novelty by Eiffelgres will soon attract attention by virtue of the innovative concept with which the entire publication is imbued. One peculiar characteristic is the acid green that catches the eye as one looks through the catalogue - the brand colour and distinguishing feature - used to draw the reader's attention to pivotal elements of information.

The focal point of the proposals of the new Eiffelgres General Catalogue for 2008 lies in the principles of Bioarchitecture and the use of biocompatible, renewable and recyclable raw materials and ones that can be broken down as documented by certification received by the company and featured in the back of catalogue.
