Manifesto

The look of hand-painted patterning on Ornamenta’s Manifesto porcelain tile adds an element of craft to the tile’s durable, stain-resistant body. It comes in 24"- and 8"-square formats and five colorways.

Corteccia

Part of Antolini's Exclusive Collection, Corteccia is a soft Brazilian quartzite. This natural stone is durable and less porous than marble, but features similarly rich veining. In addition to floors, Corteccia is also recommended for walls and kitchen surfaces.
