Marca Corona | Iridea

The Iridea collection by Mariachiara Russo, designer in charge of product development, strikes a balance between research on materials and colors, adding a sophisticated degradé effect

In the collection of tiles in white clay, winner of the ADI Ceramics and Bathroom Design Award at Cersaie 2023, pastel colors adapt to spaces for different functions thanks to a versatile format – 50×120 cm – and five pastel shades: from sugar to sand, caramel to grass green, to sea blue.

Natural colors that blend into each other in a seamless way, with a degradé effect obtained by combining four gradients that echo and modulate the background hues: Degradé Oceano, Degradé Alga, Degradé Cannella and Degradé Alga-Oceano.

The technique of chromatic mutation becomes iridescent on the 3D surface of the tiles, marked by thin horizontal lines. The striped texture and the color depth become the warp and weft of a ceramic surface that suggests the softness of fabric.

The shadings can be utilized in continuity, or in combination with other materials, or with the base hues of the same collection, for different surfaces and walls. Different installation options permit alternation or inversion of the shadings to create various patterns, also by changing the orientation of a single tile.
