Antolini: touch to believe

The Verona-based company has again created extraordinary tactile perceptions with stone, generating textures similar to haute couture fabrics. First and foremost, the Textures+ Collection

Antolini has an innate knack for bringing out the versatility of genuine natural stone, relying on in-depth knowledge of its potential to enhance its beauty. The company’s creative flair and constant activity of research and development are aimed at pushing the envelope of the material, achieving astonishing results. The creations of the Textures+ Collection are stunning, to say the least.

Their surfaces offer very evocative tactile perceptions, thanks to the patterns that recreate the effect of high-fashion fabrics. A wealth of physical and aesthetic facets, formed by braids, knots, inlays and irregular pigmentation, triggering a new expressive intensity for the creation of the most exclusive settings. Movement and three-dimensional design permeate the whole collection, which stands out for its forceful personality.

The products are perfect for refined, customized spaces, as reference points for designers in search of unique approaches for their clients. Never before has a collection been so effective in its transformation of the concept of natural stone, introducing a language that makes two worlds intersect: the worlds of décor and fashion.

The tactile presence of the marble surface is also the protagonist of the Safe finish, included in the offerings of Texture+. Skid-proof performance is joined by a precious image, combining safety and absolute allure, for both indoor and outdoor applications. A subtle surface treatment, pleasing and perceptible only to the touch, enhances the stone while making it safe to use and splendid to see.

Regular ripples of minimum thickness prevent the formation of a layer of dampness, without altering the intrinsic characteristics of the material. The grain, veins and color remain intact, while the products meet the certification requirements of the strictest European standards. In matte but also glossy versions – another surprising achievement – Safe is ideal for residential and hospitality contexts, offering full enjoyment of the marvelous world of natural stones.
