Shades and textures that evoke distant lands and rare marbles characterise the new Marazzi The Top material. It references the large geometrical forms of quartzes, the compactness of volcanic stones, and the deep veining of metamorphic rocks, dotted with imperceptible traces of pebbles. There are no creative limits in the development of new surfaces and new technologies.
Marazzi The Top serves as a tool for architectural design, offering large slabs for various applications such as kitchen countertops, tables, vertical coverings, or furnishings. Its colours and finishes can be matched with a vast array of materials, generating continuity and dialogue between different zones in both private and contract projects, and even outdoors. Marazzi The Top provides highly sophisticated, beautifully defined materials that are more sustainable and lightweight than their natural equivalents, enabling exceptional levels of customisation in use. These material effects can even be applied to surfaces in contact with food, thanks to the Puro Marazzi Antibacterial technology incorporated in the production process, which eliminates up to 99.9% of bacteria and other harmful micro-organisms.
The Marazzi The Top collection is further expanded with two new marble effects (Patagonia and Taj Mahal), five stone looks (Travertino, in four colors including the new red, Breccia Imperiale, Berici, Bahia Black, and Silver Root, the last also suitable for bookmatch installation), and the concrete look of the Cementum collection, now available in large slabs. The stoneware marble and stone range is expanded to evoke rare materials of sophisticated beauty from distant lands such as Brazil. Patagonia references Permatite, a material of volcanic origin that combines granites and quartzes in beautiful large geometric patterns, while Taj Mahal re-creates the white Brazilian quartzite with an onyx-like warm, neutral, transparent background.
These two different materials, with refined aesthetic impact, are both versatile in use and capable of daring combinations, such as with dark stone or marble looks, or teamed with woods and concrete looks. Brazilian quartzite is reinterpreted in the Bahia Black, with shades based on deep black. Silver Root, on the other hand, resembles the Turkish marble with its "rocky" veining, while Breccia Imperiale evokes another quartzite of Brazilian origin, with warm greyish shades and a texture of white veins richly dotted with pebbles. These surface effects are enhanced by the 3D Ink digital printing technology, which ensures perfect matching between patterning and three-dimensional surface structures that are different in every single slab.
The new material looks reflect Marazzi's focus on recreating the tactile structure and precise colouring of the original material. Additionally, there is a general respect for matter itself and environmental sustainability in the production processes, conducted in closed-cycle plants with state-of-the-art machinery that minimizes the use of resources and recycles all waste materials.
