So vein: Atlas Concorde

There are few materials as synonymous with great art and architecture as white Italian marble. The aesthetic purity and natural lustre of this exquisite stone has made it a symbol of status and luxury over thousands of years. It has also been used to construct many of the great palaces and cathedrals of antiquity, and to create some of the finest works of art and design objects ever made.

White marble’s enduring appeal has extended into the 21st century. It remains the material of choice for architects and designers seeking to imbue spaces with a sense of understated luxury. For this reason, Italian maker of high-end porcelain tiles Atlas Concorde chose to replicate the lucent qualities and distinctive veining of white marble in its latest collection of wall and floor tiles.

The collection comprises four designs with strikingly realistic levels of purity, colour and brightness, as well as a polished finish that adds depth and reproduces the slight unevenness of the original marble. As with all of Atlas Concorde’s ceramic tiles, Marvel Shine combines a luxurious appearance with impressive technical performance. The tiles are robust, versatile and easy to maintain, making them suitable for use in busy spaces. A key benefit of the latest designs is the ability of the glossy white surfaces to brighten an interior by reflecting light back into the room.

Marvel Shine can be applied to walls and floors in a range of residential, public or commercial settings. The availability of tiles in large sizes makes it particularly suitable for use in the hospitality sector. With a variety of stone designs and surface finishes to choose from, there are many ways for designers to achieve the iconic marble look in their contemporary projects.
