"Ariostea, part of the Iris Ceramica Group, brings the raw visual language of concrete to ceramic surfaces with Mūra, a porcelain stoneware project for contemporary architecture. The surfaces are conceptually rooted in a tribute to the mid-20th-century artistic current - a movement that recognized and utilized basic construction elements like cement and iron rods as key sculptural components. Offering complete aesthetic and functional continuity, Mūra provides versatile solutions for both high-end residential and demanding commercial spaces."
"Ariostea has mastered the process of translating raw material authenticity into durable technical ceramic surfaces. The three deep tones - Lunara, Sankira, and Ramia - avoid superficial artifice, instead intensifying the subtle tactile details honed by the brand over three decades of experience. The surface features fine veining that precisely mimics the characteristic bubbles that emerge and burst during the natural concrete drying cycle. This technical precision results in a vital quality that offers an honest, unfiltered engagement with the material's aesthetic."
Mūra translates the raw visual language of concrete into porcelain stoneware surfaces suited to contemporary architecture. Three deep tones — Lunara, Sankira, and Ramia — emphasize subtle tactile details and fine veining that mimic bubbles from the concrete drying cycle. Three technical format lines ensure continuity across scales: Ultra slabs (6 mm thickness, up to 270×120 cm, Natural Plus finish) for expansive seamless surfaces, Classics sizes for traditional applications, and CM2 Outdoor for robust exterior use. The system offers aesthetic and functional continuity for high-end residential and demanding commercial spaces, delivering durable, honest material expression and visual monolithic continuity indoors and outdoors.
