OWN EXPERIENCE. PERFORMANCE.
We are an Indo-Italian company who brought up a new perspective on tile design, for
those who understand the role of beauty as a well-being enabler in life.
Our sintered surfaces, conceived as a unique blend of beauty and performance, are
designed to suggest a holistic vision of the space.
Each surface is the result of the ability of our designers to connect with any source of
inspiration and bring unique products to life, which elevates the personality of a space.
We operate differently, innovating in the way we see and do things. We stand by our

RIGA
RE-INTERPRETING THE
ARCHITECTURAL USE OF
CONCRETE
Riga, “line” in Italian, one of the fundamental signs of design. RIGA, acronym of
Research and Inspiration from Graphic and Architecture, re-interpreting the
architectural use of concrete.
The product of creativity and technology.
Created by skilled craftsmen who manually made carved concrete walls looking
for the beauty of repetitive patterns full of human imperfections. Manufactured
using the laser micro-carving technology to carefully engrave these man-made
patterns on a large-size ceramic surfaces.
Four interpretations of this design concept, with lines (Rigato), stripes (Striato),
squares (Quadri), and flatness (Planum), to be used alone or together to create
visually rich patterns and convey a natural, vibrant full-empty sculptural effect,
through the interplay of texture and light.

The architectural attitude of concrete comes to life in six basic colors designed both
to function independently and to mix harmoniously with each other. Four structures
add expressive intensity to the surfaces, intricately captivating and reflecting light
and, creating sculptural effects that continuously evolve.

NEXION INSTALLATION SUGGESTIONS
Nexion recommends 2 mm joint for optimal aesthetics taking advantage of the tile’s caliber in multi-sized applications.
Full body-colored porcelain stoneware (International standard) Both cement and epoxy grout can be used; grout-design color matching advisable for optimal aesthetics.
Vitrified stoneware (Indian standard) It is not recommended to use grouting with colored pigments in contrast with the color of the tiles.
