New Surfaces Florim Draws Inspiration by South Tyrolean Granite

16/12/2022 - The Plimatech collection draws inspiration from the heights of the Val Martello in South Tyrol. Modelled on Plima granite, this series combines the many technical and design advantages of porcelain stoneware with the natural patterning and texture of this extremely rare stone, discovered in the 1980s.
 
With Plimatech, Florim reinterprets the special features of this South Tyrolean pegmatite, characterised by its dynamic texture studded with brilliant crystal inclusions and mottled chiaroscuro.
 
The collection is available in three colours: the typical grey-blue shade of Plima granite (here reinterpreted as Plimagray), plus two other colourways - one composed of shades of white (Plimawhite) and the other of varieties of beige (Plimabeige), thus offering the designer a wide range of compositional options. The aesthetic heterogeneity of natural stone is reflected in the collection’s three graphic variants: one more minimal in character (01) - softly veined and particularly suited, especially in the large size, to lending character to more restrained settings - and one with a more variegated appearance (02) with light shades tending to white, designed to give a rough, textured character to the space. The third is characterised by its large number of crystalline inclusions (03), that give it a more dynamic aspect, ideal for spaces conceived as a dialogue with their natural setting, both indoors and outdoors. All the colours and graphic variants in the collection, in fine porcelain stoneware, are offered in the Magnum Oversize 120x280, 120x240, 120x120 and 60x120 cm sizes in the 6 mm thickness and with a matte surface, and in the 60x120, 60x60 and 30x60 cm sizes in the 9 mm thickness, also matte (where the 60x120 cm size also has a textured surface). Graphic variant 02 is also available for all colours in the 60x120 size in the 20 mm thickness with textured surface for outdoors applications.
 
For graphic variant 02, the Hive hexagonal decoration is available in all colours, a design that plays with the rigour of its geometrical patterning to create a simple, modern style. The decor range is rounded off with 30x60 and 30x60 3D brickwork pieces, both available in all colours in graphic variant 02. Florim on Archiproducts
